Gluten-Free Banana Muffins (with Peanut Flour)

By
Because I have some friends who are gluten-intolerant, my eye tends to gravitate towards any products labeled "Gluten-Free." So when I saw peanut flour at Trader Joe's this afternoon, I couldn't resist; that paired with the three overripe bananas in my fruit bowl meant only one thing: banana bread!

Ingredients
2 cups peanut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
three mashed overripe bananas

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin pan or lightly grease the pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs, mashed bananas, and applesauce until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the muffins come out clean. Let muffins cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

    I know quite a lot of people who can't have wheat or gluten. Somehow, peanut flour has passed me by. I'll look out for it - does it give a yummy peanut taste?

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
