I'm more of a bake-from-a mix girl. I like simple recipes that don't require exotic ingredients. I've been waiting for a gluten-free base muffin recipe that doesn't let me down to fall into my lap. Gluten-free muffin mixes are expensive! This is one I am loving. It comes from GoGo Quinoa Hot Cereal of all places. So when our friends dropped off some gluten-free goods during our season of hardship (specifically Chris's pulmonary embolism), they actually gave us a gift to last a lifetime!
So far I have substituted different types of gluten-free flour mixes, substituted oats for the hot cereal mix, thrown in ground flax, chia seeds, sunflower seeds or chocolate chips. I haven't done a sugar substitute, yet. They turn out every time. Even if you double the recipe which is often a gluten-free no-no. Enjoy!
Gluten-Free Muffin Base Recipe
Gluten-Free S'more Krispie Squares
This one turned out too delicious not to share. It came about with some kitchen experimentation.
Use the basic gluten-free Rice Krispie recipe found on the box of cereal. Add a handful of chocolate chips and chopped Mi-Del Gluten-Free Ginger Snaps to the mix before spreading. Mix in well. Spread into the pan.
Then, melt chocolate chips. I melted them in the microwave using 30-second intervals and stirring so as not to burn the chocolate. Spread on top. I then crushed some of the cookies in a bag and sprinkled on top. Finally, I ended with a chocolate drizzle.
Yes, the waistlines are a little thicker over here so don't judge us as we emerge from isolation!
