Rhubarb Pie Filling

This can be used for a pie filling (it would make two), or as a side on its own. I also use it in my rhubarb raspberry cake… recipe coming. 🙂

If you are following THM, this would be a FP, so you can eat it with anything.

This makes a very thick, pie like filling. So, if you want it more runny, you could use less glucomannan.

Rhubarb Pie Filling
Ingredients:
6 cups rhubarb, cut small
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons vanilla
3/4 cup Pyure
3/4 cup xylitol
1 1/2 Tablespoons glucomannan
1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
Combine the cut rhubarb, water, salt and vanilla in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the sweeteners and glucomannan. Combine these well. Then pour into the rhubarb and mix well.

Place into a sauce pan with a lid and cook on a very low heat on the stove top. Use a very low heat, or this will burn. This will take a while. Check it periodically, and very lightly turn/stir it ONLY if you need to, to prevent burning. Be careful not to over stir it so you do not have mush. It is done when the rhubarb is very soft and not crunchy at all. And it should have thickened nicely like a pie filling.

Yum!

Cinnamon Buns

This is a twist of my cinnamon bun cake. I have added almond meal to the flour mix. It seems to give it a sweeter flavor and nice crumb. But, it is totally optional, and can just be omitted if you need to be nut free. You don’t need to make any other adjustments if you leave it out!

I have iced this with a cream cheese icing, which I use my homemade strawberry jam in! My jam is available for sale!

Strawberry jam, sugar free

Alternately, you can ice these with coconut cream, as I did my cake, especially if you need a dairy free version. (I also sell coconut cream in my store)!

I use 8 bun size small glass round baking dishes, ramekins, I believe they are called. I will post the regular, large recipe first, then a smaller one, which will make just 2 buns.

Cinnamon Buns

Wet Ingredients:
4 eggs
6 Tablespoons coconut oil
3 Tablespoons xylitol
3 Tablespoons Pyure
2 Tablespoons vanilla
6 Tablespoons water

Dry Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons oat fiber
4 Tablespoons coconut flour
2 Tablespoons golden flax meal
2 Tablespoons collagen
2 Tablespoons almond meal
1 1/2 teaspoons glucomannan
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder

Sprinkle:
1 Tablespoon Pyure
1 Tablespoon Xylitol
1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions:
Mix wet ingredients in vitamix.
Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix up the sprinkle. Spray 8 ramekins with coconut oil. Spoon a little batter into each ramekin, then sprinkle on some of the sprinkle. Repeat in uneven layers till all the batter and sprinkle are used. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until done. Let cool before icing, if you use the cream cheese icing. If you are icing with the coconut cream, go ahead and ice warm.

Cream cheese icing:

Ingredients:
8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese
1/2 jar Lotsa Little Lambs sugar free strawberry jam.
1/8 teaspoon THM stevia extract

Instructions:
Beat cream cheese till it is smooth. Add the jam and stevia and beat again. Spread on the cooled rolls.

You can leave the rolls in the ramekins, or remove them. I have ones with matching lids, so I can just store them right in the ramekins after baking, cooling and icing!

Here is a smaller recipe.

Cinnamon Buns

Wet Ingredients:
1 egg
1 1/2 Tablespoons coconut oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons Pyure (or mix with xylitol)
1/2 Tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 Tablespoons water

Dry Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon oat fiber
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 Tablespoon collagen
1/2 Tablespoon golden flax meal
1/2 Tablespoon almond meal (optional)
3/8 teaspoon glucomannan
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Sprinkle:
1/2 Tablespoon Pyure (or mix with xylitol)
1 scant teaspoon cinnamon

Icing:
2 ounces cream cheese
2 Tablespoons Lotsa Little Lambs strawberry jam
1 doonk THM stevia

Instructions:
As above, in large recipe. But, only divide batter into 2 ramekins, instead of into 8!

Gluten Free Pancakes

I will give you my huge recipe first, which feeds my family of 13! Although, if you were making these just for yourself, and trying to stay within the carb limits of THM…it would serve around 30! 🙂 My kids have pretty healthy appetites! Following the huge recipe, are recipe amounts for 8 Trim Healthy Mama size servings, and then, I’ve even included the single serve recipe amounts! 🙂

Gluten Free Pancakes (large family recipe)

Dry:
6 cups oat flour (I grind rolled oats in the vitamix!)
1 cup coconut flour
1 cup quinoa flour (I also grind this in my vitamix)
1 cup garbanzo (chickpea) flour
1/4 cup baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon THM stevia extract

Wet:
24 ounces or 3 cups Greek yogurt
3 cups egg whites
6-8 cups almond milk or water (start with the smaller amount, especially if using water)

Instructions:
Combine the dry ingredients,and mix.

(Now’s a good time to begin to heat your skillets. I use a medium low heat.. and adjust each skillet later as needed.)

Add the wet ingredients. Whisk well.

Lightly spray your heated skillets (I use cast iron), with coconut oil. Or, if you don’t like using a spray, just get a small rag greasy with some coconut oil, and rub the skillets with it to lightly grease them.

I like to use a measuring scoop to dip the pancake batter. You can use any size for your family, but 1/4 to 1/3 cup scoops make a decent pancake for those following THM. (And you can have 2).

Pour (or scoop) some pancake batter into your skillet, fry till bubbly. Turn and fry the other side. Repeat till all the batter is gone! This will take awhile for this size recipe!

He may not be a Trim Healthy Mama! But he will eat his Trim Healthy Mama’s pancakes!

Ingredients for smaller family:
(Or 8 THM servings)

Dry:
1 1/2 cups oat flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup quinoa flour
1/4 cup garbanzo flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon THM stevia extract

WET:
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
3/4 cup egg whites
1 1/2 – 2 cups almond milk or water

Single serve:

Dry:
3 Tablespoons oat flour
1/2 Tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 Tablespoon quinoa flour
1/2 Tablespoon garbanzo flour
1/4 rounded teaspoon baking powder (about 1/3 teaspoon)
Pinch of salt
Doonk of THM stevia extract

Wet:
1 1/2 Tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 1/2 Tablespoons egg whites
3-4 Tablespoons almond milk or water

This is the single serve recipe. And pictured is my most often way of eating them. I heat up frozen blueberries in a little water. (Here I used 1 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup water). You could also sweeten and thicken them. But I enjoy them runny, and it is easy. I like how the blueberry juice soaks into the pancakes! 🙂

Another favorite way to eat pancakes! It makes a good snack topped with my chocolate peanut butter sauce! lotsalittlelambs.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-sauce/
