I've been gluten free for 7 weeks now. I had been craving some of my favorite summer desserts but they all had wheat in them. Then I found this recipe (thanks Laura!!). DELICIOUS!! Banana pudding is one of my favorites so I was kind of afraid that using this substitute for the wafers would be yucky but it wasn't. Not at all. I love the nutty taste the pecans add.
I used the same crunchiness for a make shift blueberry cheese cake. I layered the crust, cream cheese (with powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream), and blueberry filling (with freshly picked blueberries YUM) in the same trifle and it was super yummy.
Along with these I've made gluten free banana bread muffins as well as regular gluten FILLED banana bread for Patrick and a few of our neighbors.
What have you been making this summer? Any delicious treats you'd like to share.
My mom-in-law had celiacs and had to be GF also. Do you have a Trader Joe's close by? The "Cooking with Trader Joe's: Dinner's Done!" cookbook has a lot of GF recipes or tells you how to make a lot of them GF.
ReplyDeletei didn't know you went gluten free! is it helping much yet? i hope so :) we're dying to hang out, we miss you all! @ the beach this week though. SOON!
ReplyDeleteI've been GF for a couple weeks now... it's a huge change to not be baking so much, but I'm going to start adding back sprouted grains again pretty soon here. :) Good job doing some GF baking!
