except for the bob's red mill

?????

The Bob's Red Mill I use is their white rice flour, not the sweet white rice flour. Should have put that I guess.

[Mama Ten Bears]

1/2 cup butter (I use ghee to avoid casein)
1/3 cup honey, heaping
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand, which is dairy free)
4 cups rolled oats


Combine butter, honey, brown sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Mix well. Add the oats and mix well. Add the cinnamon, coconut and chocolate chips. Mix well.

Preheat oven to 450.

Grease a 10x15 " pan. (or vary size for your needs) Spread mix into pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, till golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool to warm. Cut into bars while still slightly warm and not completely cooled.

no dear, i meant that bob's red mill is cross contaminated with soy and nuts, so if one has a problem with those, they may not be able to use it

Ah. Yes, it is manufactured in a facility that has other products. We aren't that sensitive here, thank God! Of all the flours I've tried, theirs has the best texture. Not grainy at all. So, glad we can use it without issue. I'm sure some Celiacs can't, but they will know what rice flour to use. All my recipes state rice flour or another flour.

Leaven-Free Brownies

5 oz bittersweet chocolate (I just use the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
3 tbsp butter (I use ghee)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
5 tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup rice flour
2/3 cup chopped almonds or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 " cake pan.

Melt chocolate in medium bowl over hot water. Stur until smooth. Remove from water; cool 5 minutes.

Soften butter. Mix butter, both sugars and eggs until light and fluffy. (I use a hand-crank mixer.) Add oil, cinnamon, salt, flour and melted chocolate. Beat slowly to combine. Add nuts if using.

Spoon batter into pan. Bake 25 minutes until color has changed evenly on top and a toothpick inserted 2 " from center comes out clean. Do not overbake.

[Mama Ten Bears]

1 3/4 cup sorghum flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp sugar
4 tbsp butter (I use ghee)
2/3 c rice milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 c currants

Preheat oven to 400. Blend all dry ingredients. Add butter and mix to a lightly crumbled mix.

Combine egg and milk and blend together. Pour into flour mixture. Blend to a course meal.

Fold in currants.

Form into scones and place on a grease cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes. Spray top before baking to lightly brown.

Variation:

Cinnamon Sugar Scones: omit currants, add 2 tbs cinnamon and 8 tbsp sugar.

Blueberrry: exchange dried blueberries for currants

Mama are rolled oats gluten free?? AL

[hunybee]

oats iin and of themselves are gluten free, but it is the growing, milling/processing, and storing of the oats that is the problem. there are a few brands that are certified gluten free and only grow, mill, and store oats. oats do have a protein that is similar to gluten, but it is not gluten. a very small percentage of people have a problem with this
