Jen- i agree on the flours, and was actually thinking of mixing them, but i am always concerned, as a very new "baker"(if you can call me that), about modifying recipes. I mean, who am i to think i can make a recipe better than it already is?! The only thing i have mastered in the kitchen is pasta! laugh.gif i was surprised not to see xantham gum as well, i thought it was in every gluten free baked good!!

Recipes are guidelines only, and even then only rough starting points! :D

I keep seeing this thread and it's making me hungry....so I am going to have to make these soon! What do the expert bakers recommend??? Should I use just rice flour or a mix of different types of flours?

Since the recipe calls for white rice flower, thats a good place ot start :D

Well I made these last night and they are so good! (and I'm usually really bad at baking). The texture is really light and fluffy (I used the white rice flour). I just ate two for breakfast :D. Will definitely make them again :):)

I just made this! WOW they are yummy, not the typical gluten-free grit taste either!

This saves me since I have to go to a party and I am brining these (and made some gluten-free chololate moose too) so that I am sure to have somehting safe to eat! :D

Thanks!

I did modify the recipe SLIGHTLY cause I needed it EF, and I dont own (nor see a reason for) a food processer. But other then that I roughly followed it. LOL My wife gets annoyed cause she says I never make anything the same way twice. :lol:

OH and Tymber loved licking the beaters and the bowl! :D

And come on, who here REALY thinks 1/2 cup of the choloate chips is enought??? Sheesh... It hink I put more like 1 to 1 1/2 cups in. I just dumped the bag till it looked good. :D

That's exactly what I did when I made these!!! Next time I think I will use even more chocolate. You can't have enough chocolate :D

Vincent- did u end up using the rice milk? so glad this is a good recipe-- i will have to email my food store to thank them- and encourage them to continue to print recipes!!!

VydorScope Proficient

Nope used the buttermilk. My wife had created the grocery list around the recipe and I never told her I was considering it. But was a great success! There was _NOTHING_ I could eat at the party, expect what I brought. So I had muffions and moose for dinner! LOL :lol:

Vincent,

There is nothing wrong with all courses of your meal being from the chocolate family! I have one question.......you DID wash it down with chocolate milk, didn't you? :D

Would have if there was any there, but had to settle for diet coke. :(

I finally made these this morning. I only had one banana and didn't add as much chocolate chips as the recipe called for, added extra peanut butter. They turned out pretty good. Thanks for the recipe.

What type of rice milk did you use. I know rice dream has gluten in it, so I was hoping we might have what you used up here.

Half a cup of chocolate chips is nothing. I would use a couple of cups at least.

Rusla--Can you get Pacific Foods Rice Milk up there? That is gluten-free. I know I've read about a brand in Canada on here--Carrie (carriefaith), posted about it, if I remember correctly.

I just did a quick search--it's Natura--soy, dairy and gluten-free.

I use Whole Foods brand but if you can't get that, Pacific works really well for baking.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
