Gluten Free Is The Life For Me by Katie Wojciechowski

March 11, 2021 by Jill Foucre 1 Comment

Two years ago, if someone would have told me that I had to cut gluten out of my diet in order to feel better I would have told them they were nuts!  How in the world could I live without beautiful crusty French bread?  What would I do without cookies and cakes in my life? Not to mention, what would my every day family-favorite dishes taste like?  What kinds of products are out there that actually taste good? Two years later, and on the other side of these questions, I can officially say that gluten-free is the life for me!  I still have breads, cookies, cakes and ALL my family favorite dishes in my life. What I don’t have are the aches and pains I once did.

Cutting gluten was a challenge that I excepted and have never regretted. Finding products to use as replacements for staples in my pantry was a game of trial and error.  Testing different flours and recipes actually became interesting to me. I did a lot of experimenting, mostly in the way of sweets and baked goods, and can now say, for the past two years I have successfully “fooled” my family every night at dinner with a gluten free meal that everyone enjoys.  As the saying goes, “Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.” -John Locke.

Ingredients
  1. 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1 cup brown sugar
  4. 2 eggs
  5. 2 teaspoons vanilla
  6. Pinch of salt
  7. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  8. 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  9. 2 ½ cup Gluten free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1)
Topping
  1. ¼ cup sugar
  2. 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer add the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Cream until all the sugar is incorporated and the butter is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the baking powder and cinnamon and mix to incorporate. Slowly add in the flour. Mix only until all the flour is incorporated.
  3. Grease a 9X13 pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. In a separate bowl combine the topping ingredients. Sprinkle the topping over the batter evenly. Bake 25-28 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing. Cut the blondies into 12 large squares.
