hi does anyone here know if you can use the Healtheries GF Simple Baking Mix to make apple and blackberry crumble instead of regular flour?

roxursox - 2011-02-08 17:51:00

Yes I make it often. I use organic rolled oats with it though so if you are ok with oats will not be a problem. Am sure it will be fine without the oats, will just be more like a crisp rather than a crumble.

frances1266 - 2011-02-08 19:33:00

Being Coeliac I am always looking for things for morning tea.I make the following which is not bad but very crumbly(probably because of the GF flour) can anyone suggest what to add to make it more solid.I tried reducing the sugar because it seems excessive but this made it more crumbly

1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup gluten free flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup crushed cornflakes(GF)
1/2 cup rice bubbles(GF)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sultanas
Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together.
Put all the other ingredients into a bowl. Mix well
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add butter mixture. Mix well.
Press mixture into a swiss roll tin.
Bake at 160 degrees C for 15-20 minutes, or when golden brown.
Slice when still warm.

pommyjohn1 - 2011-02-10 09:59:00

hey everyone, i made danas chocolate cake, and made it gluten free, using healtheris baking mix, the cake normally rises very high, gluten free it does not but instead it comes out fudgey like, honestly to die for yummy!!!!!

Dana's chocolate cake
Heat oven to 180 degrees C.

Beat together - 100 g melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 cups milk.

Sift together 1 1/3 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda - NOT BAKING POWDER. and 2/3 cups cocoa.

Mix these dry ingredients into wet mixture. It is possible to do all this using a hand beater or just a spoon as the batter is quite thin. The cake will rise a lot.

Bake 40 - 50 minutes.

To make gluten free using gluten free flour and cocoa – it will take 35-40mins to cook and wont rise the same as the non gluten free version.

I iced it using a butter icing

motorbo - 2011-02-10 12:00:00

Jum,motorbo,would love your recipes,sounds nice,also I read someone post in here about being on gluten for a couple of weeks,not sure whom it was,but I had to be gluten for 6 weeks before tests were done,had not a very nice time,rash on skin,gritty eyes,bad tummy pain,toilet issues,bed rotten gas lol runny ichy nose and stuffy nose,no sleep,all due to coelaic not nice others,everyone is different,I so feel for you all.

Chicken Bacon & Prune Breasts

Slice chicken breasts almost in 1/2 lengthways. Spread with a layer of Country Goodness cream cheese. On top of that lay 4 chopped prunes. Close chicken breast and then wrap around GF Beehive streaky bacon. Sprinkle with ground black pepper. Bake 160 C about 40 minutes (If chicken breasts are big all one to serve two people as they are so filling.) Enjoy!

nanee2jlp - 2011-02-12 19:02:00

Thank you melford another recipe to add to my recipe book,and I adore cream cheese,ummmmmmmm

pommyjohn1 - 2011-02-25 10:26:00

I haven't read this whole thread coz it is so long! I am a newly diagnosed coeliac....am waiting on my subsidy number to come through. Am also a vegetarian. Above it says to watch out for wines etc? The dietician informed me the only alcohol that contains gluten is beer....I haven't had any reactions from wine, and don't drink beer...though on the weekend I had a reaction from the boys cleaning the BBQ with beer (they forgot about me!). It seems I am alot more sensitive than my 2 sisters, also diagnosed.

oljame - 2011-02-25 10:43:00

Hi kizzier wine is fine and you can buy a gluten free beer although it is a little pricey.When you get your subsidy number you may be a little disappointed,I get flour on prescription but the amount I pay is equal to supermarket price .

pommyjohn1 - 2011-02-25 11:45:00

Thanks pommyjohn. I have just found this out re the subsidy and am really annoyed!!
I wouldn't have had the gastroscopy if I had known the subsidy was not substantial!
