How to Make Oat Flour Pancakes Oat flour is one of my favorite gluten-free flours because it’s affordable and easy to find in stores, but make sure you look for “certified gluten-free” on the label to avoid cross-contamination. You can make your own flour by simply grinding gluten-free rolled oats in a coffee grinder or blender. Aquafaba as a Vegan Egg Substitute In my experience, oat flour needs eggs to “fluff up,” but I finally figured out a way around that by using aquafaba, which is the liquid leftover from a can of chickpeas....

Tip: I recommend using raw cashew butter in this recipe, so that your cheesecake doesn’t taste like roasted cashews. You can make homemade cashew butter in just about 10 minutes if you can’t find raw cashew butter at your local grocery store. No-Bake Almond Flour Crust In keeping with the no-equipment theme, this crust is made with almond flour, so you can stir it together in just minutes! I add molasses and ground ginger to give this crust a “gingerbread” flavor, but you can omit those if you’d rather have a more plain, straight-forward crust....

I don’t know about you, but sometimes cooking sounds SO unappealing.

That’s when I turn to this 2-Ingredient Detox Spaghetti, because it literally takes me about 10 minutes to prepare and is ultra-comforting. I realize that shredded cabbage does not have the same taste or texture of spaghetti, and it certainly won’t fool anyone into thinking that they’re eating real pasta, but that’s not really the point of this quick recipe....

What is an adrenal cocktail? It’s a non-alcoholic drink that is loaded with essential vitamins. The original source of this recipe comes from Susan Blackard, NP, ND, Ph.D., at the Rejuvenation Health Center, in Springfield, MO, as a potential way to help balance hormones. (Like cortisol production.) The body’s adrenal glands are located on top of both kidneys, and are responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, both of which help to regulate blood pressure....

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. We were so happy to discover this new Polish apple and cottage cheese pancakes recipe. Or at least we think they are polish.

When I lived in the East Coast, I never went home for Thanksgiving because (1) I had to start studying for finals and (2) holiday plane tickets are ridiculously expensive! (<— Nothing new there.) Instead, I celebrated friends-giving. Even though I have moved back to California, I want to keep this friends-giving tradition alive, so I’m planning 2 food-centric gatherings. Why have one when you can have two, right? But really, I’m just looking for any excuse to gather my friends together to eat....

Why You’ll Love It It’s simple. Many gluten-free recipes call for more than 1 type of flour, but buckwheat flour is all you need for this gluten-free pumpkin bread.

It’s delicious. Loaded with pumpkin pie spice and sweetened with maple syrup, this recipe has the flavor you’d expect when buying a slice of pumpkin bread from a coffee shop....

The Challenge: Figuring Out What to Do with 6 Pounds of Butternut Squash I went to work looking up recipes and settled upon a butternut squash quiche recipe that I found on Hungry Healthy Girl.

The Verdict: Almond Meal Crusts are Excellent!...

This Cajun “pasta” features a colorful variety of vegetables sauteed with an easy homemade Cajun seasoning to create a comforting noodle-like dish. Because this recipe calls for zucchini noodles (a.k.a. “zoodles”) instead of grain-based noodles, it’s lower in carbs and calories than an average pasta dish and can be easily digested with any add-ins you like.
