Recipe: Gluten-Free Quinoa Flour Belgian Waffles

These are so delicious! This is another altered Jules Gluten Free recipe. She knows her stuff! Again I cut out the sugar and mixed with Quinoa Flour for a nice low sugar, high fiber/protein treat.

Gluten-Free Quinoa Flour Belgian Waffles

2 eggs separated (use both the saved yolk and whipped egg whites)
2 Tbs. of shortening
2 Tbs olive oil
1/2 cup of Jules All Purpose Flour
1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Quinoa Flour
2 tsp. baking powder
A dash of agave nectar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk (you can sub in soy, almond, or rice milk)
Top with fresh cut strawberries and unsweetened whipped cream

Preheat waffle iron to low or med-low.

Mix together egg whites on high, until egg whites are stiff. Set aside.

Combine all of the ingredients above in a large bowl. When everything is smooth, fold in egg whites until the dough is fluffy.

Put two large spoon fulls of batter on the waffle iron and remove when the iron gives you the green light.

Recipe: Gluten-Free Garlic Quinoa Flour Breadsticks

I altered Jules Gluten Free‘s bread stick recipe to have less sugar and use Quinoa flour in addition to her baking flour. I do this because I cannot eat as much sugar or starches as the recipe calls for. Quinoa flour is a very high protein and fiber-rich flour. It has a slight taste of Quinoa, but is undetectable when mixed with Jules All Purpose Flour.

These little goodies were absolutely delicious and fluffy!

Gluten-Free Garlic Quinoa Flour Breadsticks

Preheat oven to 350 F.

3/4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 Tbs yeast
1 cup of plain yogurt
1 cup of Jules All Purpose Flour
1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Quinoa Flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
crushed fresh garlic (sprinkled on top)
brush with olive oil

Mix together all ingredients until lumps are gone. Dust pastry mat with cornstarch and also dust your hands. Take a small handful of dough and form it into a breadstick shape. Lay the breadsticks on a cookie sheet that has been greased with olive oil. Sprinkle on toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until top is golden brown and the dough has risen.

Mastering the Gluten-Free Pancake.

How many times have you messed around with different flours to get your perfect gluten-free pancake? For me it’s been numerous; almond flour, coconut flour, Bob’s Red Mill (potato & rice flours), Jule’s Gluten-Free Flour (potato, corn, & rice), to name a few and they are never quite what I want. Whether they are too mushy, too dense, or too much like a macaroon, mastering the Seattle gluten-free pancake presents a significant challenge.

Fret no more folks, I have found the perfect Seattle gluten-free pancake recipe that is guaranteed to produce the BEST gluten-free pancake you have ever had. They are so good, you won’t be able to tell the difference between real wheat pancakes and these ones!

What did I use? Mostly Quinoa flour and a little Jule’s Gluten-Free Flour. Recipe Below.

1/3 cup Jules GF flour
4 tsp baking powder

I used a small teflon frying pan, which helped with making the pancake perfectly round.
