Peanut Butter & Co


So I thought I would share these awesome peanut butters I discovered at my local Walmart (of all places!...).
The one on the left is dark chocolate PB and has a strong chocolate taste, the one on the right is White Chocolate PB and to me it tastes kind of like vanilla peanut butter. They are very easy to spread, don't need to be stirred or refrigerated, are kosher, vegan and gluten free, don't contain HF Corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. And did I mention they taste delicious?...

If you can't find them near you, they can be ordered from their website: http:/www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/, they also have a FB page, and a sandwich shop in NYC.

I used the dark chocolate one for my PB Chocolate Bites. :-)



Pumpkin/brown rice bread (for breadmachine)



OK so I made this bread in a bread machine and I have no clue if it would come out good with conventional method but if someone tries out please let me know!...
I came up with the recipe because I was out of applesauce but had pumpkin puree in my pantry so I transformed the recipe starting from there and made this new one. :-)

Ingredients:

* 4 eggs
* 3/4 cup rice milk
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 tsp cider vinegar
* 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
* 2 Tbsp GF molasses
* 1/2 cup cooked (and cooled down) brown rice
* 2 Tbsp canola Oil
* 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour
* 1/2 cup GF oat flour (if you are sensitive to oat replace with brown rice flour)
* 1/2 cup potato starch
* 1/2 cup tapioca starch
* 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
* 1 tsp salt
* 2 tsp xanthan gum
* 2 1/2 tsp yeast
* 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spices

Directions:

Add ingredients in the breadmachine, following manufacturer directions, (usually starting with liquids and finishing with the yeast on top).
Bake on a classic cycle.

(when I came in the kitchen this morning my 3 1/2 years old had dug a little crater into the bread, I'll take that as a seal of approval... ;-))
