A single serving finger food dessert, is easy to assemble on a gluten free cracker.
I received free samples of Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic from Dare Foods Incorporated mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Dare Foods Incorporated and I am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
Although the cause is unknown, celiac disease (an immune reaction to eating the protein gluten) is four times more common than it was 60 years ago. May is celiac awareness month, an annual event supported by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. It’s fitting that Dare Foods, in recognition of Celiac Awareness, is sponsoring a recipe contest challenging the Recipe Reduxers to create tempting gluten free recipes using one of two delicious gluten free cracker varieties: Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic.
With a background in clinical nutrition, I ‘m accustomed to providing medical nutritional management for individuals with a myriad of health conditions requiring food modifications (diet altered to include or exclude certain components). Yes, I have seen a dramatic increase in the number of gluten free meal plans since I first began my nutrition career! In addition to educating my patients, I find it equally important to expand their culinary knowledge to include ways to deliciously prepare meals/snacks tailored to both their health needs and their discriminating tastes. But that’s not all. . . it’s necessary to incorporate foods that the entire family will enjoy, because nobody dines alone!
That’s why I love the two Breton gluten free cracker varieties. They have a tender-crisp texture and a wholesome flavor that’s appealing to all palates. Made with arrowroot flour and green lentil flour, free of artifical flavors and colors, they are so tasty you’ll find it hard to believe they are gluten free!
Today I am showcasing the Breton Gluten Free Cracker with Flax in a delicious and easy to make finger food dessert. Inspired by a decadent dulce de leche banana cream pie, I created a single serving version, gluten free of course. This sweet, single sized dessert is undeniably adorable, fun to eat, easy to serve and gives everyone a perfect portion. I assembled this batch for my family, arranged them on a vintage serving tray, and watched them dissappear. Proof they are down right delectable! Please check out the links at the bottom of this post for more delicious ways to use Breton gluten free crackers in foods that will please everyone’s palate!

SUCH a fun idea, and totally worth splurging on! I love anything Dulce de Leche {and chocolate too}, so these will be appearing in my kitchen soon!

The sweet and salty combo is great, but I wouldn’t be able to stop at just one. Dulce de leche is addictive!
You are probably right, Mireya, one is not a realistic serving serving size!
Simple yet looks amazingly delicious! My kind of recipe 🙂

Mine too, Sarah!
These would be perfect for today, Cinco de Mayo. I’ve never used canned dulce de leche. Am I right in assuming it would be found in the Mexican food section of larger supermarkets? I’ll have to find it to give this recipe a try. They’re so cute!
Thank you for pointing that out! And yes, dulce de leche is easy to find in the grocery stores, in the Mexican food section. Enjoy!
What a great tasting idea! I can imagine the combination of flavors working perfectly with the Breton crackers.
Yes, Jill, you are right! This combination is so perfect with the Breton gluten free cracker with flax.
Ok how adorable are these?? So creative & they look delish. And what a nice combo of sweet and salty. Must try them.
Thank you Jenny. You got it, sweet and salty. YUM!
Bananas Splits served as a cracker topper! So creative!
Thank you Cindy. The Breton gluten free cracker is delicious with this combination. Hope you’ll give it a try.
This is such a great idea! Anything involving chocolate + banana and I’m game! The addition of dulce de leche takes it to a whole different level… Great idea 🙂
Thank you, Selena. Give them a try if you have a chance. They’re simple to make!
This is so creative – I would never look at a cracker and think up this recipe! And yes, aren’t the Breton Gluten Free crackers so tasty? This gluten-lover was impressed 🙂
