Day 244: Low Fat Chocolate Chip "Muffins"

Though these are technically muffins, trust me, they taste more like cupcakes.  They are super decadent and rich.  They will not last long!

Find the recipe here.  A few notes on what I did:  I made the applesauce myself, which is easy with a baby food processor that steams and then purees the apples.  And I used regular chocolate chips.  Also, if you go with the recipe as is (no real chocolate chips) it is gluten free and dairy free.

Enjoy with a mug of milk, or other beverage of your choice!

Day 24: Gluten free pancakes

We have a close friend who has a severe gluten allergy.  Since she comes over quite a bit, I've been dabbling in gluten free cooking and baking.  A lot of this involves coconut flour.  Over the past weekend, we had a brunch and I experimented with these.  Though more "eggy" than traditional pancakes, they do hit the spot when it comes to breakfast time.  I prefer mine with ample amounts of maple syrup and nutella, though fruit doesn't hurt them either!  Mine are a little browner than the blog post where I found the recipe, though I had the griddle on low heat.  In any case, they still tasted good, just more omelet like, as I mentioned before.  

You can find the recipe here.  Enjoy!
