Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Apple Bread

I was recently introduced to a new healthier sugar substitute and I LOVE IT. After I received my first shipment I decided that I was ready to do some baking! This turned out wonderful, it is low sugar but I did use the brown sugar in the recipe although Whey Low makes a brown sugar that I am decided about using in the future.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups gf flour
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Whey Low granulated sugar https://www.wheylow.com/ 
• 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 Med apple of your choice (I use whatever I have on hand)

CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING

• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Gluten Free Blueberry Pound Cake

This simple pound cake is wonderful, and yes I ate the whole thing!

The last time my grandson came to visit he said, "Gammy I wuv buberries", but it was the end of his stay and I didn't have time to make him anything. He is coming tomorrow and I am making sure that he has something with buberries. I really think he'll like this and he can have a slice with his cereal in the mornings. Wrong you know how kids are he said he didn't like it. And wouldn't you know honey doesn't like blueberries, so I had no choice I had to eat the whole thing!

If you are not following a gluten free diet use regular all purpose flour and make it just the same. You will love it!

Gluten Free Banana Split Bread with Almond Glaze

I am lost for words over this bread. It is one of the best I have ever eaten. It reminds me of the holidays and makes me ready for Christmas.

This will be a great bread to keep on hand during the holidays. It would also make a great bread for gift giving, you could leave the glaze off if you desire.

Of course I cook gluten free but if you use a regular banana bread mix you could also make it full of gluten.
