gluten free yumminess!

ok...so I have more to say but I wanted to post these recipes real quick like for anyone interested.  These are totally yummy.  I got them last night at a gluten free/dairy free cooking class.  These are probably my favorites from last night. 

Enjoy...I will be back sometime this weekend to say more.  :)

Gluten free granola


3 ¼ cups gluten free oats
¼ cup sesame seeds
1/8 cup milled flax seed
2 cups chopped pecans (use raw unsalted)
1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
1 cup honey
½ tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 cup melted butter or oil of choice
¼ cup flattened rice or flattened quinoa flakes (optional)
2 chopped medjool dates (remove pits)

Mix dry ingredients together. Add liquid ingredients and mix by hand. Spread into a large baking dish. Bake at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning around edges or bottom.

Chia Seed Coconut Cream Topping

1 cup (raw) cashews
1 ½ cups rice or almond milk
1 ½ cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 -¼ cup chia seeds

Place the cashew, honey and milks in a blender or food processor and blend on high speed until smooth. Place the chia seeds in a large jar or container, pour the cashew mixture into the jar and shake well. Place in the refrigerator overnight. You can also blend the chia seeds in with the rest of the mixture. If left whole they may plump up similar to tapioca pearls. If blended they will just help to thicken the mixture.

I also want to include a link to Laura Schmitt, NE which is who I got these recipes from.
