Fruit Cobbler (GAPS)

This was good! We had it in yogurt.


Fruit Cobbler (GAPS legal)
Hanunyah Creation


1 banana
1 apple
1 peach
2 tablespoons honey, divided
1 1/3 cups almond meal, plus more for topping
1/3 cup yogurt
1 egg


Preheat the oven to 300F. Slice the banana, peeled apple and peach into a baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the honey. Bake for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the almond meal, yogurt and egg. Pour over the hot fruit. Drizzle with the remaining honey, and sprinkle some almond meal on top. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through (make sure it isn't doughy on the top).

Fruit Cobbler Cake

The other day I made some GAPS fruit cobbler (I'll post later, Lord willing), so I experimented more and made up this non-GAPS cake. I used 2 apples, 1 peach and 1 banana, but it needed more fruit to be called a cobbler. The cake part was fluffy and there was a lot of it, so, as I said before, this is more of a cake than a fruit cobbler. Anyway, it was eaten up and got good reviews.


Fruit Cobbler Cake (Gluten-free, Cow Dairy-free, Corn-free)
Created by Hanunyah


fruit (I used 2 apples, 1 peach and 1 banana)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 cups rice flour
1/2 cup lard
1 tablespoon maple (or vanilla) extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk


Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Slice fruit into the pan.


In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, sugar and flour. Add the lard and mix together with the flour mixture with 2 forks, until it looks like crumbs. Add the extract, eggs and milk, and mix well (don't over beat).


Pour over the fruit in the prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes (?), until baked through.

Peanut Butter Almond Pancakes (GAPS)

Update February 23, 2012: This recipe was good, but a new recipe we made is much better - which may be found here - The BEST Fluffy GAPS Pancakes (so far).

I made up this recipe just a couple hours ago . . . we made other (non-GAPS) pancakes, and decided to make some for the GAPS people, too. They are actually pretty good.

Peanut Butter Almond Pancakes (GAPS legal)


1 1/3 cups almond meal
2 eggs
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup water

Mix all together and cook in homemade lard or coconut oil.

Chocolate (or Carob) Mayonnaise Cake

This is a really yummy and easy recipe. We've used it for years, but I lost the recipe so I found one like it on allrecipes the other day.

You're basically just using mayonnaise instead of eggs and oil.

degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch pan. 
2. Beat all ingredients until well combined. Pour into prepared pan.

Peanut Butter Squash Pancakes (GAPS Intro)

Update February 23, 2012: For a easy, yummy and much fluffier GAPS pancake recipe we use you may go here - The BEST Fluffy GAPS Pancakes (so far).

My brother likes these in yogurt or plain.

This what we do - my sister usually makes them, she doesn't really measure anything, so this is just about what it looks like she puts in ;).

Peanut Butter Squash Pancakes


In a food processor mix together until smooth a steamed acorn squash, butternut squash or pumpkin (a couple cups worth), 2 or 3 eggs and about 1/4 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter, no additives). You don't have to use a food processor, that's just what we found easiest. You can also add a banana in it. Cook in coconut oil, don't burn. If they are crumbly, add more peanut butter. You can also add a little honey if they need a sweetener.

We made these today without eggs (we didn't have any GAPS eggs), so we ate it like pudding - very good!

new design + name

As of 1-3-12: I've re-named my blog name (which used to be "Hanunyah's Sweet Creations") to "Ranch Girl's Sweets 'N' Treats". "Sweet Creations" is a pretty common name, so I figured I'd change it to something a little different ;). My URL is still the same, though.

Also, a big thanks goes to my older sister (@ CountryGirlWebDesign.com) who has re-designed my blog and fixed-up all of the HTML. So, I hope you enjoy the new layout!
