What would you do with a gluten-free baking kit? Are you into wholesome, healthy alternatives to the store bought white flour, and baking products? Here is one solution ~ More Than Alive carries Gluten-Free baking supplies, spices, nuts, seeds, cute clothing and hair items and even great books on being healthy and child development!
For this review, I was sent a box full of wonderful baking supplies to try. I received the Gluten-Free items listed below -
Almond Flour
Baking Powder
Raw Cacao Powder
Organic Cinnamon Powder
Organic Coconut Flour
Organic Rapadura Sugar
Now, not being overly familiar with Gluten-Free recipes, I went to the More Than Alive Blog to search for recipes. I found several that I thought my family would enjoy.
I started in the post called "Chocolate is good for you" (of course it is!) and decided to try these two recipes as my Gluten-Free trial run.
Joy's Flourless Brownies
Joy's Almond Balls
Though I did not get any pictures of my flourless brownies, they did turn out pretty good. Much better than I would have thought since they don't have any flour in them at all.
As I looked over the recipe, I realized I did not have any coconut oil and had never heard of Almond Butter - so I went to the store to see what I could find. Unfortunately I thought they both were a bit pricy for my budget so I decided to tweak the recipe to suit my personal tastes and got Nutella instead of Almond butter, and just used Canola Oil which I use regularly in place of Coconut Oil. Here is what I ended up with.
That adorable little hand belongs to my youngest! She is a great helper!
That is honey she is adding
Rolling in the Coconut!
Almost Done!
I put them in the refrigerator for about an hour- they were quite yummy and chocolatey!
This was a fun and tasty experiment with making healthier treats using gluten-free and organic ingredients.
One I plan to repeat again very soon.
