    Ingredients

    • Olive Oil
    • Yellow Onion
    • Celery
    • Carrots
    • Frozen Corn
    • Dried Parsley
    • Dried Thyme
    • Sea Salt
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Chicken Breast
    • Chicken Broth
    • Gluten Free Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Buttermilk
    • Egg
    • Parmesan Cheese

    Instructions

    In the bowl of your Instant Pot pour the olive oil. Add the onion, celery, corn, carrots, parsley, thyme, sea salt, black pepper and chicken. Pour the chicken broth over top.

    Place your lid on your Instant Pot and make sure it's sealed. Use the Manual setting to cook the soup for 15 minutes.

    When the soup is done let the steam release naturally.

    While the steam is releasing mix up your biscuits in a mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, sea salt, black pepper, buttermilk and egg. Beat with a mixer or by hand until combined.

    After your Instant Pot has released the steam take the lid off and push the saute button. Stir the soup to break up the pieces of chicken.

    Once the soup is boiling drop the biscuits in one heaping tablespoon at a time around the surface of the soup. Once all the biscuit dough is in the soup shut off the Instant Pot and place the lid on without sealing it. Let the soup with the biscuits sit for 5 minutes. This will allow the biscuits to cook in the boiling soup.

    Remove the lid and serve the soup hot. I like to serve with some parmesan cheese grated on top.

    Top Tip

    I'm always looking for meals that are simple to make and I can have done quickly. I know I test recipes and write about food, but honestly making dinner is my least favorite thing to do. I try to make enough to have leftovers, but that still means every other day I need to come up with something for us to eat.

    It can be exhausting! That's why I love a quick Instant Pot meal. I can have the soup cooking while I get some other things done and then all I need to do is mix up the biscuits to plop on top.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I have to use chicken breast in this recipe?

    No, this recipe for gluten free Instant Pot chicken and dumplings calls for chicken breast, but it's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Whether you have a leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken breasts from the night before they will work in this soup.

    At Thanksgiving this soup is my favorite way to use up leftover turkey. We can have turkey dinner and then turkey and dumplings soup the next day. I'm usually feeling like something lighter to eat, so this works perfectly.

    Can I make gluten free biscuits for chicken and dumplings from scratch?

    Yes! They are so easy to make. I place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix with my hand held blender. If they are too dry I add a splash more buttermilk. The best part is they are ingredients you may already have on hand or can get at your local grocery store.

    Storage

    Store these gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. These cookies also freeze beautifully making them perfect for making ahead and stocking your freezer. Once completely cooled place the cookies in a single layer in a freezer safe bag or airtight container with parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw individual cookies at room temperature for about 30 minutes or warm them in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds for a fresh from the oven experience any time you want one.

    Top Tip

    Use certified gluten free rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel cut oats for the best texture in these cookies. Rolled oats give you that classic hearty and chewy oatmeal cookie bite that makes a great oatmeal raisin cookie so satisfying. Quick oats will make the cookies denser and less chewy and steel cut oats will not soften enough during baking and will give you a tough and gritty texture.

    Also make sure your oats are specifically labeled certified gluten free as regular oats are frequently processed in facilities that also handle wheat and can be cross contaminated even though oats themselves do not contain gluten.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to use certified gluten free oats for this recipe?

    Yes! This is one of the most important things to get right when making gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies. While oats themselves do not contain gluten they are frequently grown and processed alongside wheat and other gluten containing grains which means regular oats can be cross contaminated with gluten. Always look for oats that are specifically labeled certified gluten free to ensure they are safe for anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats are my favorite brand and are widely available at most grocery stores.

    Why are my gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies flat?

    Flat gluten free cookies are usually caused by one of three things. Butter that is too soft or melted rather than at room temperature will cause the cookies to spread too much in the oven. Too little flour or too much butter in the dough can also lead to flat cookies. And over creaming the butter and sugar can incorporate too much air into the dough which causes it to spread and flatten during baking. Make sure your butter is at room temperature but still slightly firm. You can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to one hour to help if you are getting flat cookies.

    Can I substitute chocolate chips for the raisins?

    Absolutely! If you are not a raisin fan you can substitute an equal amount of semi sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or dried cranberries for the raisins. All of these substitutions work beautifully with the oatmeal and cinnamon base of this cookie dough. You can also do a combination of raisins and chocolate chips for a fun twist on the classic oatmeal raisin cookie.

    Can I make these cookies dairy free?

    Yes! To make these gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies dairy free substitute an equal amount of a dairy free butter alternative for the unsalted butter in the recipe. The texture may be slightly different from the original but the cookies will still be soft and chewy and delicious. Make sure your dairy free butter alternative is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugars for the best results.

    Can I double this recipe?

    Yes! This recipe doubles easily and I highly recommend making a double batch so you can freeze half for later. Simply double all of the ingredients and bake in batches on parchment lined baking sheets. Having a stash of these gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies in the freezer means you always have a homemade gluten free treat ready to go for lunches, snacks, and any time a cookie craving hits.

    Top Tip

    These healthy muffins are very dense and do not rise a lot. They will be cooked all the way through, but will not have a large muffin top like gluten muffins do. You may also notice that they will deflate a bit after they start to cool. This is totally normal and happens with dense gluten free baking.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you make gluten free blueberry muffins with almond flour?

    Yes. These muffins are made with a mix of almond flour, regular gluten free flour and rolled oats. Make sure you use rolled oats that are certified gluten free! Some oats are processed with regular gluten flour and are not gluten free.

    Can I freeze these gluten free muffins?

    Yes! I love to freeze these muffins in a freezer safe container to have them for later. You can make two batches and freeze one or freeze half of these.

    It makes life so much easier when I don't have time to bake to have muffins in the freezer for breakfast or snacks. I like to freeze them individually so I can pull out one at a time. This works great for when I need something to put in lunches also.

    Top Tip

    I had seen someone use parchment paper in their slow cooker to make it easier to remove the meatloaf. I tried it, but the parchment paper fell apart. You could do tinfoil or there was plenty of juices so the meatloaf came out of the slow cooker on its own just fine.

    I finely chop the onion and then mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl with my hands. You want to get the dry ingredients and wet ingredients mixed together really well.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I keep the bottom of my meatloaf from burning?

    If you use ground beef that is too lean there may not be enough fat in the meat to keep it from burning. You will either need to use a less lean meat or pour some olive oil on the bottom of the slow cooker dish prior to adding your meatloaf mixture.

    How long does a 2 to 3 pound meatloaf take to cook?

    It will typically take 3 to 4 hours on the low setting. You will want to check your meatloaf at the 2 ½ hour mark to determine how much longer it will need to cook. This will depend on your slow cooker and the thickness of your meatloaf.

    You will want to internal temperature of your completely cooked beef meatloaf to be 170 degrees.

    Can I prepare this meatloaf a day ahead of time?

    Yes. You can prepare this gluten free slow cooker meatloaf the day before and then after it has cooled store it in our refrigerator. My husband actually prefers day old meatloaf to fresh. He likes it reheated or cold on a sandwich.

    To reheat you can microwave the meatloaf. Sprinkle some water over the meatloaf and then place a very wet paper towel over the meatloaf before heating. This will keep your meatloaf from drying out while you are reheating it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can this beef and vegetable soup be frozen?

    Yes! This soup is perfect to make ahead and freeze or to freeze your leftovers to have a quick meal to reheat. Be sure to use a freezer safe container so it doesn't get freezer burnt and this soup will last for up to a month in your freezer.

    How do I make this soup in an Instant Pot?

    This soup is super simple to make in your Instant Pot! I literally put all the ingredients in and then set manual pressure for 24 minutes. The meat goes in raw and comes out tender and juicy.

    I put the ingredients into the Instant Pot and then set to cook while I do my evening exercise or clean my kitchen. By the time I'm done dinner is ready!

    Do I have to use ground beef in this recipe?

    No. You could easily use beef stew meat or ground turkey. This recipe would also be delicious with venison or elk steak. Just be consistent when you cut or break up the meat so you have similar sized pieces. This will allow all of the meat to cook completely.
