Gluten Free Bread in the Breadmaker

Originally this calls for 1 egg and 2 egg whites, 1 1/2 cup of warm skim milk, and 1 cup of white rice flour and 1 cup of brown rice flour.  

It is in my bread maker as we speak (or...as I speak).  I will let you know how it turns out.


I got this recipe from here.



  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 cups warm buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour
  • 1/4 cup millet flour
  • 2 cup brown rice flour
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

(Originally the recipe says 1 egg and 1/3 cup of egg whites, 1 1/2 cups of warm skim milk and 1 cup of brown rice flour and 1 cup of white rice flour.)

I put it in my bread machine for 1.5 lb of regular white bread and medium crust.

It doesn't look or feel like normal dough, i've tried to add some more tapioca flour and rice flour...I'm not confident in this, my first attempt...it's on it's first rise right now...

No Bake Granola Bars

So I got this recipe from a website that got it from Rachel Ray...I think.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups quick cooking oats {not rolled oats!}
1 cup crispy rice cereal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
As many chocolate chips as you want

I boil the butter, honey and brown sugar together.  When it's bubbling I turn the heat off and mix in the vanilla.
While it's on the stove I mix together, in a different bowl, the oatmeal and rice krispies.

Once the butter, honey and brown sugar are done boiling i mix it into the oats/rice krispies mixture until it is all combined really really good.  

Then I poor it onto a cookie sheet or into a 9x11 cake pan and smmmmooooooooosssssshhhhh it really good (Pay attention to the thickness as that will be the thickness of your granola bars)

Then, i pour chocolate chips on top and smoosh them into the top of the bars, but be careful...once you start smooshing them in they start to melt some and eventually start sticking to the spatula you're using.

Then I stick them in the fridge for awhile.

Then, we want some we just cut off what we want.  i do pack them in lunches but after they warm up they do fall apart some.....or alot.  But they are DELICIOUS.  My daughter just packs a cold pack with it and she loooves them!
