My name is Hulya, and I’ve been running @thehungryturk instagram and blog for about four years now. During this time I found out I was celiac, which shifted my content into a source for all things gluten-free and vegetarian. I love sharing new gluten-free products on the market, as well as providing creative recipes, both savory and sweet. I’ve collaborated with GF brands in the past, such as Hu Kitchen and Sweet Lorens, and am always keeping my eyes peeled for new products to keep things fresh and fun in the kitchen.
It is scientific fact that a cupcake with pink icing is more appealing and delicious than one with white icing (please shut your piehole about the dangers of food dye, I am very aware and if you're really triggered then get yourself some beet powder based food coloring). And while this recipe isn't necessarily a 'Valentine's Day' dessert, it easily fits the occasion and can be adapted for St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Leif Erikson Day, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. This recipe is a gluten and dairy free version of a highly contentious cookie - the infamous grocery store soft sugar cookie with icing. I've spent countless hours in my test laboratory force feeding my gluten and dairy consuming friends these cookies, and have had positive feedback from fellow sugar cookie lovers.
New year's resolutions are hack, and if you want to start something don't wait until the new year. Now that I got that off my chest I would like to help you start the year on the right foot, and that foot is the one carrying these BROWNIE BATTER COOKIES. These cookies are unique because they hold a batter-like texture even when baked. As for the informational segment: these cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-adaptable if you substitute the egg with a flax egg.
I'm here to share with you two very important things: a recipe that will make you feel fall AF and that YOUR LOVE FOR PUMPKIN When you think of pumpkin bread you may imagine a sweet loaf, swirled with cinnamon sugar or bursting with chocolate chips. Second, I present to you a list of my favorite ways to consume nearly a loaf of this pumpkin flax bread in a week without it getting boring (or stale, NEVER stale): None Crumble a slice up and stick it in a yogurt bowl, along with some pepitas, blueberries, cacao nibs, and nut butter.
These come out moist, have a bit of chew from the coconut, a perfect hint of tang, and are surprisingly not too banana-y. You can dress these darlings up, or enjoy them completely nude (double entendres are my favorite literary device of all time). They are great to grab as a quick brekkie when you're on the go, but also can be loaded up with toppings - nut butter, yogurt, seeds, jams, just to name a few. Personally, I like to top them with Coconut Collaborative's lemon ganache yogurt (not sponsored, I'm just addicted) and some toasted coconut.
