Gluten Free Ginger Chocolate Crumb Cake

What do you think a Gluten Free Ginger Chocolate Crumb Cake might taste like? Today you’re going to find out!

During the past two weeks, I have been asked,

Can you recommend a great gluten-free cookbook?

And,

Where do you get your recipes?

The answer to the former: No. I have several, but none I can truly recommend because they are either too complicated (think 20+ ingredients) or they use gluten-free ingredients I’m not a fan of advocating.

And to the latter: I make them up. Many times I am inspired by something I see or am motivated by an intense craving of my own. I figure out what I want and then how to concoct that food, but with all the appropriate substitutions.

The day I made the gluten-free breakfast loaf sort of looked like this….I was really craving chocolate. I had leftover pumpkin. I also wanted something “chocolate-cakey,” but with very low sugar. Oh, and I wanted to tie it altogether with a gut-friendly element.

Not high maintenance at all, right?!

The above scenario is one that happens weekly.

I didn’t know what I’d call it at the time, but piece-by-piece, the ingredients came together and myGluten Free Ginger Chocolate Crumb Cake came alive.
