GFCF Chocolate Pudding

I have had a few people ask about the GFCF Chocolate Pie recipe that I posted last week.  The great thing about this recipe from Betsy Hicks is that you can serve the pie filling as chocolate pudding. 
My kids have been eating “pudding” with berries all week for breakfast.  Since the pudding is actually cashews [...]

GFCF Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

These bars are a GFCF modified version of a recipe from Cooking Light Magazine, November 2008.  After these cooled, I cut them up into squares and individually froze them.  They make a very yummy treat.  I almost like them better frozen, they don’t crumble.

Crust:
1 cup GF flour blend (Bob’s or Better Batter Flour work well)
1 cup GF oats [...]
