Going gluten-light has been interesting, to say the least. There are times that I just want to sink my teeth into something soft, moist, sweet and chewy (ok, so sometimes I do :)). But, these muffins are the best, and I mean BEST bread-like gluten free alternative we have found! And they are simple and quick, did I fail to mention that? 1 minute in the microwave and you can have "bread" in a bowl. Amazing! I hope you give it a try, because I'm certain you will enjoy it!
Combine all ingredients in a cereal bowl. (you can use a smaller bowl like a custard cup, you will just get a smaller muffin)
1/4 c. Ground Flax
1/4 t. Baking Powder
1 Egg
Dash of:
Vanilla (1/2 t)
Cinnamon (1/4 t.)
Oil (coconut, olive, etc) (1 t. - 1 1/2 t.)
Honey/Agave (1/2t. - 1t.)
Stir all ingredients till well combined and microwave for about 1 minute. My microwave is a smaller/lighter type, so I need to cook for 1 min and 30 seconds. Adjust the time for your power/speed of microwave.
We love our topped with Peanut Butter, Yogurt, Apple Sauce, Jam....the sky's the limit!
Additions are also fun. We have added mashed banana, coco powder, blueberries...experiment and enjoy!
I have not tried this, but my mom has 6x the recipe and cooked it in a 8x8 pan at 375* for about 30 minutes (check at 20 minutes).

Wild Rice Cashew Salad
Delicious. Colorful. Easy. Light. Good anytime of year (not just a summer salad). My Husband loves it!
1 1/2 C. Wild Rice, cooked per package directions (add a little chicken bullion for extra flavor)
-Let wild rice cook before assembling the rest of the salad
Half of each color of pepper, diced
Green Pepper
Yellow Pepper
Red Pepper
3/4 c. Cashews, chopped (I think I use more, I just eyeball it)
3 Green Onions, chopped
Dressing: (I double)
3 T. Rice Vinegar
2 T. Olive Oil
1 T. Sesame Oil
1-2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1/4 t. salt
Dash of Red Pepper (I use a squirt of Sriracha or black pepper)
Combine dressing in a small jar with lid. Shake well to combine. Pour over salad just before serving.

Banana Pancakes
These couldn't be simpler!
1 banana
2 eggs
Optional additions: cinnamon & vanilla (a dash of each)
Place everything in the blender at the same time. An immersion blender works well also.
Blend in the blender until smooth and frothy (the eggs get bubbly)
Pour onto a greased hot griddle. Flip and cook both sides until brown. (They are bubbly when you first pour them onto the griddle- so the trick of watching for bubbles with normal pancakes does not work with these.)
If the pancakes fall apart when you flip them, just move the broken part close to the rest of the pancake and nudge it together. Eggs have an uncanny ability to re-connect with themselves.
Serve with peanut butter or normal pancaking toppings. This morning we topped them with peanut butter, ground flax and pecans. Normally I would also add coconut, but we were out.
I have had success with doubling the recipe, but not tripling.
Enjoy!
