Gluten Free Mini Egg Blondies

 

I have been trying to perfect this recipe for so long and I finally feel like I have got there! These mini egg blondies are delicious, I can promise you that! I absolutely love the taste of them and when you crack open one of the mini eggs the chocolate just melts out, dreamy! I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

1) 250g butter (melted)

2) 125g golden caster sugar

3) 125g of light brown sugar

4) 2 eggs

5) 1/2tbsp of xanthan gum

6) 290g plain gluten free flour

7) 1 tsp of vanilla extract

8) 2 x bags of Cadbury's mini eggs

Method:

1) Firstly, melt your butter in the microwave, check it every few seconds and keep stirring until it's all melted

2) Next, mix together your melted butter and both types of sugar in a bowl, mix in well

3) Then, add in your two eggs and vanilla extract, mix well

4) Next, add your flour to the mixture (I sieve the flour into the bowl so there are no lumps) with the xanthan gum and crushed mini eggs. (The way I crush my mini eggs is putting them into a sandwich bag & sealing, then bashing with whatever you have really i.e. a rolling pin!)

5) Finally, add your mixture to your baking tin and bake in the oven for 25 minutes on 160 degrees fan or gas mark 4.

6) When your blondies are baked, sprinkle over some more mini eggs crushed and hole, put back in for another 30 seconds and take out.

7) Finally, cut into slices and serve!

I hope you enjoy and if you do make my mini egg blondies don't forget to tag me in your photos!

Gluten Free Crispy Chilli Beef

 

Ingredients:

You will need:

1. 2 sirloin steaks (or whichever steak you prefer!) - this is for two people, so if you are cooking for more you will need more steak!

2. Cornflour

3. 1 Egg

4. 1 onion (chopped)

5. 1 pepper (I used red but use whichever you prefer! Chopped)

6. 1 Spring onion (chopped)

For the marinade:

7. 1 tbsp of gluten free soy sauce

8. 1tsp of ginger paste

9. 1tsp of garlic paste

10. 1/2 tea spoon of sugar

11. Salt & Pepper (couple pinches of)

For the sauce:

12. 4tbsp of gluten free sweet chilli sauce

13. 2tbsp of gluten free soy sauce

14. 1tsp of rice vinegar

15. 3 tbsp of gluten free tomato ketchup

16. Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Firstly, cut your steak into thin strips (don't worry if they are not all even!)

2. Next, put your steak strips into a bowl and put together your marinade - once put together, mix your marinade and the steak strips together and marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.

3. Then, in a bowl mix all of your sauce ingredients together and set aside.

4. Get your egg and crack into the bowl with the marinated strips and mix well.

5. Next, get a large dish and pour some of your cornflour in - probably about 5 mugs worth. Put your beef strips onto the cornflour and mix in well, once mixed in, use your hands so you know it's all coated. Make sure all of the strips are separated also so they are not clunked together.

6. Next, heat your oil in your pan - I would recommend using quite a deep pan for this, I use a wok as you want to put a good amount of oil in to cover your beef strips. Heat the oil for a minute or so and you can drop a tiny bit of the flour mixture in to see if it sizzles - if it sizzles well you know that its hot enough.

7. Next, fry your beef strips in the hot oil for 3 minutes, ensuring you turn every so often to make sure its all cooking well.

8. Once cooked, put your strips onto some strips of kitchen roll just to dry the excess oil off.

9. Next, heat up your oil again and add in your chopped onion & chopped pepper to fry. After a couple of minutes, add in your beef strips and stir well, fry on a low heat for another minute.

10. Once all mixed in well and your onions & peppers are soft, add in your sauce mixture with your spring onion and mix well. Cook on a medium heat for a couple of minutes.

11. Finally, take off the heat and serve!
