GLUTENFREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

I have been making these muffins for years. I have only just started making them gluten free though. All I have done is make sure all the ingredients I'm using are gluten free. I have added lots of different goodies to this recipe and all work well. I made them into 'Black Forest Chocolate Muffins' yesterday by adding drained bottled cherries and chocolate chips. I have added 3 types of chocolate to make them 'Triple Chocolate Muffins' too. The creativity is endless, just use your imagination (& cravings) to guide you. If you need to make these 'DairyFree' as we do, change the milk, butter and chocolate to dairy free options.

Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 3/4 level cups GF Flour
1 heaped Tbsp Cocoa
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (I use Dairyfree Chocolate)
4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup Sugar

Stir through the dry ingredients.

75g melted Butter (I use Olivani spread)
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Milk (I use 'Liddells' Lactose Free Milk)

Mix these 3 wet ingredients together and then stir both mixes together. Only stir until just combined. Add a little more milk if it is too thick. Spoon mixture into greased muffin patty cases and bake for 10-14mins at 200c.

This recipe makes 6 large or 12 small. You can sprinkle with icing sugar or drizzle chocolate over the top. Lovely served fresh & warmed with DairyFree icecream.

GF PIKELET Recipe

Yes, my blog is still under construction, I'm still learning. Please keep checking back periodically to see new recipes etc...so here comes my first pearl of wisdom. We were fortunate to know others who have been gluten free to some time, so help was close at hand, but not everyone has that and I hope this is a way we can all support one another.

PIKELETS

• I use the 'Edmonds' cook book pikelet recipe, or any other trusted recipe you have.
• Replace the flour with 'Healtheries Baking Mix'.
• Ensure that all other ingredients are GF too.
• You might need to add a little more milk if the mixture is too thick.
• These are the fluffiest most gorgeous pikelets we've ever had!

(PS..I have only tried the Edmonds pikelet recipe myself )

Welcome to our Gluten Free Journey! I'd love to share this with you. It's a "where do we start" type scenario when you are told to stop eating gluten. What went through my head ... "is there anything out there that's gluten free?" "how do i cook for my family without gluten?" "where do i buy gluten free food/ingredients from?" "it costs how much?" "who's right, what ingredients are best?" "who can i talk to...?" There's a whole heap more, but you get the point and if you're reading this I'm sure you can empathize with what I'm saying.

This is a blog where I can share my thoughts, recipes, ingredients, new found treasures and wisdom as it accumulates within. I also want to learn as I go, I don't know it all, I'm still learning and I see this as a way we can all help each other. Please feel free to share recipes (but only if tried and true), thoughts and information.
