Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

This is a super easy, gluten free and grain free dessert you’ll make time and time again. If you’re dairy free, use the coconut oil instead of the butter and see Kate’s Tips for a dairy free alternative to whipped cream. Feel free to use any kind of fruit you like, as long as it’s sweet and ripe. This is a clean, paleo-friendly and healthy option for a delicious dessert!

I’ve adapted this recipe from the one I found at Life Made Full.

Enjoy!

Total time:  40 mins
Serves: 3 servings
 
This is a super easy, gluten free, clean, paleo-friendly and healthy option for a delicious dessert!
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup coconut flour
  • ⅓ cup butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 4 organic eggs
  • 2-4 tablespoons honey, agave or coconut nectar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces ripe strawberries
  • 8 ounces organic heavy whipping cream
  • 2-4 tablespoons organic sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 3 ramekins or muffin tins with butter or coconut oil. In a large bowl, beat together melted butter (or coconut oil), honey, eggs and vanilla.
  2. In another bowl, measure the coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and beat until well-combined and no lumps remain. Pour into 3 ramekins (leave room for the shortcakes to to rise).
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and a sharp knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool for 5 minutes then carefully remove from ramekins. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. While cakes are baking, slice strawberries into a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir and let berries macerate until time to serve.
  5. Next, whip your cream in a bowl and add a couple tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. When cakes are cool and your ready to serve, split each cake in half. Place bottom half on a plate and spoon strawberries and juice over each cake. Top with a big dollop of whipped cream. Put the top half on, spoon another dollop of whipped cream and more strawberries. Enjoy!

Kate’s Tips

  • This recipe easily doubles. If you double it, you can make it in a cake pan and make one big strawberry shortcake. Make sure to grease your pan well or even better, line your pan with parchment paper so it comes out easily.
  • Use any kind of fruit. In the summer, I think grilled pineapple would be divine.
  • Melt a little chocolate to drizzle on top for an extra fancy dessert.
  • Even thought you use coconut flour, these don’t taste coconutty. You could add some flaked coconut if you like.
  • If you’re dairy free, try using coconut milk instead of cream. Buy a can of full-fat coconut milk and put it in the refrigerator to chill completely. I use this one: Native Forest Coconut Milk, Organic. Take can out of the fridge, open it and scoop out the solid part on top only. Save the liquid for a smoothie. Beat the solid part until soft peaks form, add the sugar or honey and beat for a few minutes more. Enjoy!

    Hi I want to make gluten-free shortcake for 10-12 servings. I noticed you have the 3 ramekin recipe and a cupcake one. They are similar so I wondered which do you recommend as best to double for making in a cake pan. What sized pan? Also, wondering about using so many eggs. I am new to cooking gluten-free. Thank you for any suggestions.

      Hi Susan–The reason I use so many eggs is because the recipe is made with coconut flour and coconut flour sucks up moisture like crazy so you always need to use lots of eggs 🙂 When I doubled the recipe, I made it in an 8 inch square pyrex. It worked great but if you have parchment paper, use it to line the pan to make it easy to lift out. The recipe is somewhat ‘eggy’ so it can stick easily when you double it. If using a cake pan, you could do it in either an 8 inch or 9 inch pan. Again, I’d recommend the parchment paper. I hope that helps!

New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about Go New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about God and His Word is still a mystery, even to the greatest theological minds down through the ages. Faith–simple, childlike #faith is what holds the whole thing up. But, do we just stop there?
.
In 2 Timothy 2:15, we’re charged to rightly handle the Word of Truth and to study to show ourselves approved unto God. And in 1 Peter 3, we’re told to always be ready to give an account of the hope that we have in Christ.
.
Should part of that readiness be Biblical literacy–not just being able to quote Scripture, but being able to use those Scriptures to better know God–His character and attributes–and to better know the doctrines of our faith and how those are to be lived out in our everyday lives? .

Today, we’re joined by @phyliciamasonheimer who is going to help answer that question and hopefully give us some tips for living in the tension of both a simple faith and practical theology.

See that smile on my face? That smile is because G See that smile on my face? That smile is because God sent me a sweet holy reminder this week in the form of my first royalty check for The God Dare.
.
In this day and age it’s a rare thing for most authors to pay back their advance to their publisher, especially within the first 6 months of a books release. So I’m standing here in awe of His goodness and the faithfulness of all of you who’ve read and shared my book. I’m honored and deeply humbled as He used this moment to remind me how good He’s been to me in this writing journey.
.
The God Dare has been a labor of love that took 8 years to go from simple blog post to published book and I stand here amazed today that it’s already in its second printing and, I earned my first royalty check.
.
My first book came out in 2012 and I’ve yet to pay back that advance. It can take time and for most of us it does, especially in the Christian book world. But if you’re a writer who’s got a book coming out soon or you’re thinking of writing some day, follow that dream. Dreams do come true...I promise 💖.
.
Keep writing, keep trusting, keep praying, keep believing. He has a plan and it’s good. Bless you and thank you all so very much for all you love & support 😘. #hopewriters #calledcreatives #authorsofig #writersofinstagram #christianwriters #publishedauthor #hopewriter #thegoddare #christianpublishing #amwriting @hopewriters @calledcreatives
If you’re a mom, you’re human and you’re goi If you’re a mom, you’re human and you’re going to make mistakes. ⠀
⠀
Your kids WILL frustrate you. You’ll get angry, crabby and irritated. It goes with the territory so stop beating yourself up over it. We’ve all done it, we’ll do it again. Living in a fallen world with fallen natures takes everything in us to conquer the sin deep within. But, your children will survive your crabby days, I promise! And, there's hope for change.⠀
⠀
I’m further along in my parenting journey, my daughter is grown with children of her own so I’ll share my perspective. I struggled with anger, I still do to be honest. Mostly because I have a way in my head I think everything should be. When it doesn’t look the way I want it to, I snap. I answer harshly. I’m impatient. I want to control life and I want life a certain way—my way—which is rarely THE way.⠀
⠀
I’m selfish, thinking I have rights but the truth is, when we follow Christ we give up our right to ourselves. We tell the Lord with all sincerity, “I surrender all” until we don’t and the inner ugly rears its head. I must surrender my ways, my wants, my ego, my future, my time, my control, my everything to the only One who can change me from the inside out. ⠀
⠀
The way you love is the way you’ll live. If you sincerely love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, then His love will flow out of you naturally. Not perfectly but naturally. Because, mama, you’ll never be perfect.... .

I remember my mom praying "now I lay me down to sl I remember my mom praying "now I lay me down to sleep" each night when I was little, along with some other prayers that weren't very Biblical but brought comfort to a scared little girl. Our family didn't place much emphasis on God or prayer and I didn't come to know the Lord until after I turned 29. When I had my daughter a year later, I knew prayer would be an integral part of our lives. I'm convinced time on our knees is the best investment we can make in our children's lives.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Before your children were a glimmer in your eye, God knew them and set a plan for his or her life firmly in place. God ordered their steps and set the course of their lives with every twist and turn already mapped out. He dreamed a big dream and gave you the task, with His help, of finding out what that big dream is. He wants to guide you every step of the way and help you dig down deep and mine every ounce of greatness in your child. Because the dreams and desires we hold for our children and ourselves are important to God—more important than we can imagine. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I was never afraid to believe God had a huge plan for my daughter. I was just naive enough to take God at His word and believe in the power of destiny. I've seen my belief bear tremendous fruit over the years. I'm pleading with you here: Don't be afraid to dream BIG for your child....

These are unprecedented times. So many parents are These are unprecedented times. So many parents are being thrown into schooling-from-home with little to no direction. We’ve shared before in episode 30 some general ideas and suggestions for homeschooling, so we’re not going to unpack all of that today. But we would like to dive deeper into one part of homeschooling that we believe is the foundation for what all the rest of our child’s education and really their very lives is built upon.
.
Today, we’re talking about Morning Time. Some folks prefer to call it Morning Basket, Morning Meeting, others who maybe choose to slot it at other times in the day instead of the morning have been known to call it Symposium or Power Hour. No matter what you call it, if you’ve been homeschooling for any length of time, you definitely know that it’s a current buzzword in homeschooling circles. It seems that everyone has caught the fever.
