This morning we had our yummy Pancakes Surprise with 1/2 cup finely shredded zucchini! They were so yummy! Audrey kept saying, "Mmmm! ... Mmmm!" That's when you know it's good. ;) So if you didn't get enough treats yesterday...this Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free treat is one of my favorites! It's hard to find Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip cookies let alone Dairy-Free as well. After many attempts here's my delicious GF, DF Chocoalte Chip Cookies!

This next recipe is what I call my Pièce de résistance. Not because it's the sweetest or fanciest gluten-free eat out there but because it seriously took me such a long time to find and alter a bread recipe that would be GF and DF yet still taste close to the "real" thing. This bread is so delicious right out of the oven! I've given it to many of my gluten-eating friends and they seriously can't tell much of a difference. We love to put raw honey on ours or use it for sandwich bread. My sweet daughter loves it any way she can get it. So without further ado...I present to you my Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Bread Recipe. Gluten Free & Dairy Free Bread in the Bread Machine or Oven Adapted by jalene Dry Ingredients: Whisk these together and set aside:
Wet Ingredients:
BONUS Tip! This bread can also be made in your bread machine! Directions for the breadmaker:
Notes & Tips from jalene: If you have never used Millet, it's a super healthy and beneficial seed. You can read more about it here. I don't, however, recommended using Millet all the time in your diet because of the effect it has on your thyroid. It actually works as a mild thyroid peroxidase inhibitor so if you have thyroid disease I would stay away from it.
If you cooked your bread in a regular oven and it turned out with a funky shape, try mixing your dough more before putting it into the pan. Also, be sure you smooth the dough out after you put it into your pan. You can even wet a spatula in water to help the process. That should prevent uneven raising and baking. This recipe is a great way to hide other foods that your kids (or husband) might not normally eat. You can freeze purred options (1/2 cup each) in small plastic bags for quick thawing later. This works great too if you are trying to use up food before it goes bad. ( I usually end up pureeing and freezing my spinach because we buy a giant container from Costco.) This works great to change up breakfast time or for holidays (spinach for st. patrick's day, carrots for halloween, beets for princess pancakes, etc.). As for flavor, you'll be surprised how little the 1/2 cup of puree effects the taste. These are some flavors I've tried: Spinach and Zucchini have almost no taste whatsoever. Carrot, sweet potato, and squash have a slight taste but you can add pumpkin spice or cinnamon to create a more hidden taste Blueberries are yummy as well as raspberries and bananas! P.S. I wouldn't suggest using Cauliflower :P It's pretty strong no matter what. Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pancake Surprise! Adapted by jalene from a Betty Crocker recipe Ingredients:
Notes from jalene:*When using bananas, decrease total flour to 3/4 cup and maple syrup to 1/2 Tbsp
*When I use 1/4 cup spinach, I decrease the milk to 1/2 cup If you need some great tips on how to puree your food click here. I must be in a breakfast kick lately...this next recipe is a frenchy favorite: Crepes! I created this after many trials and errors. (It's hard to get gluten-free crepes to stick together) but I think you'll find this recipe very close to the gluten-infested style. The great thing...it's dairy free too! Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Crepes Created by jalene Ingredients:
Bon appétit! Makes 7- 7inch crepes Note from jalene:If I am using brown or white rice flour in a recipe, I have found that using a rice milk does not work. So I would suggest soy or almond milk in this recipe. Also, a note on apples: Apples are among the list of the "dirty dozen" which means they are one of the dirtiest fruits/vegetables covered with pesticides and chemicals. In fact, apples have more than over 40 different pesticides and washing alone DOES NOT remove them. So bottom line, always buy your apple products organically. BONUS! These tasty crepes can also be used a gluten-free tortilla alternative! Just simply decrease the maple syrup to 1/2 Tbsp and store in a zip-lock bag for later use. Audrey loves these!
