Grain Free "Corn" Bread - Gluten, Dairy, Grain, and Corn Free

 I have another corn bread recipe on this blog.  It uses more traditional ingredients, including, you know . . . corn.  But, this is a grain free recipe and therefore . . . no actual corn.  

We love it.  

It is such a fantastic recipe and tastes so similar and yummy.  It is the one I most often make because the Hubby is avoiding grains.  

And when I make this, he is a very happy man.  

Grain Free "Corn" Bread - Gluten, Dairy, Grain, and Corn Free 

1/4 c. honey

1/2 c. coconut milk (rice milk works, but won't be 100% grain free)

1/4 c. apple cider vinegar (distilled vinegar works too) 

3/4 c. coconut flour

3/4 c. tapioca flour (arrowroot works too) 

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 

1/2 tsp. salt 

1/2 c. + 1 Tbsp. olive oil (light in flavor) 

4 eggs 

Preheat oven to 350* and grease a 9 x 9 dish. 

Combine honey, coconut milk and vinegar and let sit while mixing other ingredients (about 10 mins).  In separate bowl, whisk flours, baking soda, and salt together.  Add oil then beat on medium.  Add eggs then beat.  Add honey/milk/vinegar mixture and beat till combined. 

Bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes until tooth pick comes out clean and top is golden.  

YUM! 

Instant Pot Rice Pudding

 I do realize that I have a million recipes for rice cereal, pudding, and porridge here.  But.  This one is different.  Because sometimes you just want to use white rice, in the instant pot.  You want to dump it in and go do something else.  And then you want to eat creamy rice pudding for breakfast.  So . . . this is the one you need.  

Never enough rice options for a warm breakfast for us people that can't have oats! 

Instant Pot Rice Pudding 

4 c. rice milk (or milk of choice) 

2 1/2 c. water

2 c. white rice 

1/2 c. maple syrup

1/4 tsp. salt 

2 tsp. cinnamon 

2 tsp. vanilla 

raisins 

Add all ingredients to instant pot.  Stir.  Seal lid and close valve. Select "porridge" and set to 20 mins.  Allow to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.  Stir again. 

Serve with milk of choice and brown sugar, if desired. 

Yum!
