Pancakes (egg, soy, and milk free!)

2 cups of AP flour (or 1 cup AP, 1 cup whole wheat)
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 1/2 cups rice milk plus 1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup water (add this last, to desired consistency)
3 tbsp canola or safflower oil
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat your skillet or griddle. Mix dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients together except water. Blend dry and wet ingredients together with a fork. Add water to desired consistency. (experiment with this, some people like thinner/thicker pancakes) Lightly grease your hot skillet. Pour batter to form 4-5 inch circles. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until pancakes have bubbly surface and dry edges. Flip pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness. These are awesome, and perfect with a little real maple syrup! Our Saturday morning tradition.

Apple and cinnamon french toast.

I made this for DD and she loved it, great for breakfast or as a sweet lunch.

Beat one egg and dip once side of a slice of bread in it. Fry in a little olive oil. Spread some apple sauce on the upside and sprinkle with cinnamon then pour the rest of the egg mixture over the top and then place pan under the grill to cook the top. Warning: this is really hot so I left it about 10 mins before serving but wow its tasty

Lemon Zucchini Bread (or muffins) - I have made this as a loaf and as muffins.  You need to adjust the baking time for muffins.  Also I replaced the egg with applesauce.  So moist and yummy!

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons lemon zest
 
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, beat together the zucchini, sugar, egg, and oil. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; stir in the cinnamon and lemon zest. Stir the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from heat, and cool about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

This is just what I was looking for!  Do you have any milk free/dairy free cake recipes?  My daughter's 1st bday is coming up and so far she hasn't been able to have any dairy products.
Thanks so much

[GraceKellysmom]

mmmm my favorite cake, just for you! Both my kids have gotten chocolate cup cakes for their first birthdays:

Chocolate Layer Cake

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes (cupcakes 20 minutes)

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
½ cup dairy free 100% cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp distilled white vinegar
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Grease (100% vegetable shortening) and flour 2 9-inch round cake pans. In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Beat with spoon or whisk until batter is smooth and ingredients are well blended.

Pour batter into prepared cake pans. Bake in 350 oven 35  minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, before turning onto wire racks to cool completely.

Optional cupcake directions: Prepare as above except pour batter into 24 lined cupcake tins. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Frosting

½ cup (1 stick) dairy-free margarine, room temperature (Fleishmans Unsalted Sticks) OR 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (mix it very well to remove clumps)
2-1/2 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup dairy free 100% cocoa powder
2-1/2 tbsp water
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar

Place margarine, honey, and vanilla in mixing bowl. Sift cocoa into this bowl. Cream these ingredients with an electric mixer. Add water and sift powdered sugar into mixture. Beat with electric mixer on medium until well mixed. Yields enough to frost a 9-inch double layer cake, will have extra if making cupcakes.

Stacy, those cupcakes sound yummy. Plus they are meat-free, dairy-free so I can eat those during my Christmas Lent fast (can't have any food made from animals), and the kids will LOVE them. THANK YOU!

Marking marking marking 

Will have a look through after work, am so glad this sticky is here!

[meltown]

anyone have any new recepies??  I am starting down the list and will need more soon.  Thanks!!!  I'll post some as I find them too.

[GraceKellysmom]

Edited to remove my blog information/link. I've gone back to dairy.... hoping all who read here will be able to someday as well!

. Can't wait to try the lemon zucchini cake posted above!

I'm off dairy and sort of off soy; I was going to post a recipe that I thought was MSP free, but just realized it may not be.   It calls for chicken broth.  My walmart generic chicken broth lists "flavorings" and in parantheses says it includes milk and at the end of the recipe lists says that the product contains milk.  So, I bought Swanson chicken broth.  It doesn't have a little allergy statement saying that the product contains milk or soy.  However, it does list "flavorings" as an ingredient, which is on the list of soy stuff to avoid . . . so does that mean it's not safe either?

And, if it is not MSP free, does anyone have a recipe for making your own chicken broth?

[meltown]

we found msp free chicken broth a trader joes.  it's in abox.  still can't find beef broth like that though.

[Peek-a-boo]

Okay--then I'll post the recipe later today. 

I just looked up recipes for homemade chicken broth and they all seemed to involve a chicken "carcass."  Where on earth would one acquire a chicken carcass if one wanted one?   LOL

[meltown]

I think that if you buy a chicken from cosco or someplace that has rotisserie chickens and take the meat off it and it could be used.  not sure if it would have soy or other thing in it, but you could check.
