JULIE - recipe needed: vegan & wheat-free cupcakes/muffins

[Guest guest]

Hi Julie,

 

I did a Google search and came up with quite a few results when I searched on 'gluten free vegan'.

This site looks quite promising with lots of recipes. I haven't looked at it properly yet but I hope it helps you a bit. I couldn't actually see any cakes listed but, as I said, I haven't spent too long looking.

I don't know if the hyperlink actually works. You may have to cut and past the address and I know that works as I have just checked it.

 

Cheers from Marie in Haarlem, Holland

recipe needed: vegan & wheat-free cupcakes/muffins

Hi Everyone!My vegan twins turned 4 on October 30th. Their school is having their party tomorrow. We are vegan. I just found out at our party at home that one of the boys in their class is allergic to wheat, and I felt so bad since the cakes were made with flour. I'd like him to be able to eat the cupcakes/muffins at school. So......does anyone know a wheat-free, vegan recipe? It doesn't even need frosting, since the school has a "no-sugar" (or as little as possible) policy. They let it slide a bit for birthday parties, so it doesn't have to be sugar-free, too!! Alternatively, does anyone know a website that would have such recipes?Thanks so much!Julie, mom to Darla & Macey

I have experimented with gluten/wheat free flours.

 

Rice flour makes tender, tasty goods which may not

have the structural integrity you are used to. I

intend to try adding flax seed next time to see if I

get less crumbliness. I like to use brown rice flour

in fruity recipes- for instance, I made an apricot

cookie with it. May seem slightly grainy in texture.

 

Oat flour is sweet flavored and has a nice, smooth

texture. It also tends to produce more crumbly baked

goods than wheat flour.

 

Buckwheat flour gives an excellent consistency in

vegan baked goods. I make a vegan ginger/oat cookie

that is absolutely wonderful with buckwheat flour. I

have never tried this flour in the famed baking

soda/vinegar chocolate cake recipe, but you should

definitely give this one a shot.

 

I'd say try it at home first to see how it turns out.

Face it... even " flopped " chocolate goods are usually

good enough to eat!
