First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who participated and shared Amanda’s FEED10 Fundraising Bake Sale. She raised almost $500. Enough to feed 3000 lunches. That is AWESOME! And I am so glad Healthy bites could be part of it. Go check out where you can donate and her discount for the #run10feed10 Race here.
Second of all, I did it. I actually turned on the oven last night to bake even though it was 104F outside and all I wanted to do was jump in a cold pool!
But…
It WAS SO WORTH IT! And I will be baking more this weekend, for sure. You see, Pillsbury just came out with a new line of gluten free dough.
NEW Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough is available in three varieties, found in convenient tubs in the refrigerated aisle:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
• 14.3 oz. tub for easy storage
• Makes approximately 16 2” cookies
• Classic Chocolate Chip variety
• 110 calories per serving
Thin Crust Pizza Dough
• 13 oz. tub for easy storage
• Makes one 10” pizza crust
• 170 calories per serving
Pie/Pastry Dough
• 15.8 oz. tub for easy storage
• Makes 29” pie crusts
• 250 calories per serving
To say I was excited would be an understatement, in fact, I might have SQUEELED with excitement. I haven’t had pastry dough in YEARS and gosh darn it I wanted some of that flaky goodness.
So when I was asked to create a recipe for their new line, I jumped at the opportunity! .
Of course I to snuck a peek under each lid, trying hard not to eat the cookie dough straight from the tub (fail), and finally decided to go with the pastry dough. I just had to satisfy my pastry craving I had been yearning so long for. The ingredient list is not perfect, but definitely not that bad either. Plus i believe in the 80/20 rule. Although this week it’s been more 70/30. Haha
And with that being said, here’s my gluten free PASTRY recipe. Worth every ounce of sweat standing by the oven. 
- Pillsbury Gluten Free Pastry Dough
- 1 large banana or plantain
- 1/3 cup cured and salted bacon bits
- Maple Syrup
- cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extra
- 1/4 tsp butter extract (optional)
- 1/3 avocado (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons regular or non dairy cream
- 2 eggs
- oil
Directions:
- First roll out your dough on wax paper. Then fold into greased muffin cups. I used silicone cups for easy clean up. Oil the bottom of each dough cup. Set aside. Next preheat your oven to 425F
- Second, combine your banana (or plantain), eggs, avocado (optional) and cream into a blender. Blend until smooth. Transfer into a mixing bowl and add in a few tbsp bacon, 1 tbsp maple syrup, a dash of cinnamon, and your extracts. Mix again.
- Pour the batter into each muffin cup. You can either top each with a slice of banana or leave them plain. But be sure to add another spoonful of bacon on top of each muffin before baking.
- Bake for 25 minutes, give or take.
- Let cool then feel free to add a scoop of greek yogurt or cream fraiche on top. Drizzle each with maple syrup to complete.
- EAT UP – Makes 8 cups [/print_this]

I’m most excited about trying the gluten free pizza crust dough. I love homemade pizza and would really like to make calzones with Pillsbury’s gluten free pizza dough crust. It would make life so much easier than making the dough from scratch!
Our version of strawberry shortcake!
We have increasingly been buying gluten-free, and this would be a great addition. I am primarily interested in the cookies so I could use them to make ice cream sandwiches.
So far I’ve been an utter failure at gf baking.. this would help immensely!
just the ease of making gluten free cookies excites me!
apple pie or just plain or cinnamon/sugar butter mixture would be awesome on this.
I hope I can grill pizza with this dough.
This is awesome because my mother-in-law can’t eat gluten so I could make her these when she comes over!
I would love to be able to make gluten free pizza.
i would make grilled veggie gluten free pizza!
I would give this to my sister so she could make something wonderful. I’m not the best cook
I would love to try an apple pie with this!
cookie sandwiches!
so cool that Pillsbury makes GF products! I feel like I should make my boss (who is GF) some of these so hopefully I will get a raise hahah. LOVE this recipe though!
I am so excited Pillsbury has GF products! I definitely plan on using the pizza dough to make calzones!
Oh I am so excited for these! Especially the pie dough! I so miss pies and cannot wait to try it to make a chocolate cream pie! Oh and I used to make a hamburger stroganoff pie years and years ago before my Celiac disease diagnosis and would LOVE to make that again!
I’ll be able to bake cookies that my favorite nephew can enjoy without getting a tummy ache!!
Love that Pillsbury has Gluten Free products 🙂 Would love to try the chocolate chip cookie dough and make the Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer Bars.
I would make some mini cheesecakes
I would LOVE to make a pie! I’m terrible at making pie crust from scratch!
I want to try gluten free cooking and eating! These would make an easy transition.
I’d love to try some of these recipes! I’d love to try the gluten free dough! 🙂
I would love to try this line..so many recipes to be made!
i have been CRAVING pizza lately. This would be a great way to satisfy that craving. You can seriously never go wrong with pizza!
I can finally make GF pies!!!! Hallelujah!
So I was just at the store and saw these GF doughs… they looked pretty good, but not as good as the cups you made!Q
i think you’d approve! bacon is the key. 😉
Ummmmmmmmmmmm, how cool is that & man that looks amazing!!!!
I’d like to have the GF cookie dough so I can bake cookies for all of my peers in my Nutrition classes as Texas Christian University! I think I’d definitely win some “brownie” points with the professor as well;)
The exciting thing would be that my gluten-free husband could eat them!
It’s about time Pillsbury! Yay!
I have tried the cookie dough but would love to try the pizza dough and make pizza on the grill.
That recipe looks crazy good! I am excited to have more options in the Gluten free world.
Sounds awesome…I could never eat this with all those additives and funky things. Good for you if your gut can handle it:)
well.. small amounts. One pastry satisfied my craving. 😉
I realise that this is a Pillsbury sponsored post, but the ingredients list on the ready-made pastry dough scares me – not the flour choices, but the use of soy oils. We eat gluten free, and so far I can say that using a flour blend ( I think cup4cup is the most similar to what I use) and a standard pie crust recipe is simple, and although it is less convenient, it only takes about 20 minutes to do a dough from scratch. The extra time and peace of mind from making my own – and not having all the soy oil – is worth it to me.
I’ll definitely have to try your pie crust Donna. Thanks for sharing. Yes, i realize there are soy oils in here too. Hopefully they will change that in the future. I think some companies are just now becoming more aware ingredient choices.
I can completely understand why they use oils – it makes gluten free dough easier to handle. I have found crust to be harder to roll out. On my Facebook I’ll be posting the recipe I used for my gluten free cinnamon rolls that were on my Instagram feed. I’ll let you know when it is up – they were super tasty and super easy to make, and handled really nicely – for a change! And without soy oil 😉
I’m really excited for the Gluten free dough- although I do not follow a strict GF diet, I have been trying to incorporate more GF products for many reasons.
I love making mini-pies and mini tarts in the fall, good yummy comfort food so that new dough will be perfect!
oh my goodness – i am with you – so excited to see a gluten free pastry dough!
It would definitely be fun to make pizza with the dough!
I used to make empanadas a lot and I think the pastry dough would be perfect for trying out a bunch of fun new combinations of sweet and savory ones.
I would LOVE these! I’d love to make a pie using the pastry dough AND the chocolate chip cookie dough! YES!!!
Wow, I had no idea that Pillsbury created a GF line! That is great news 🙂 I love your recipe… awesome flavor combo!
this is going to make holiday baking so easy, i make cookie cups with hershey kisses in the center for the holiday cookie exchange
OMG – this makes me super happy. Fantastic thing to have on hand when my sis comes to visit or holiday cookie baking time. Pizza…that’d be the first thing!
yay for sis!!!
I have a family member who’s GF, so I would love to whip up something special for her with this when she comes to visit next month.
Woo Hoooooo the sound the Pillsbury Dough Boy makes 😉
I can feel how excited you are about this line! Love the maple syrup in your recipe!
Fantastic!!! Many thanks to Pillsbury for stepping it up! Thank you for the awesome!!!! recipe. they look scrumptious!! I will try any and everything that my family has been missing out on for some time now!
Oh my Gosh, they look so good. Though that dough wouldn’t make it from the tub to the oven – it would go into my mouth first 🙂
I assume the giveaway is not international? (Switzerland)
if you win, i’ll have them send me the vouchers, then send it to you myself. That’s if they work in Switzerland, yes?
You’re the sweetest! That’s great!
I want to eat all the cookies.
Cute little pizzas for the First Lady.
Apple pie for wifey.
good man.
I want to try all of these!! I have visions of some superb breakfast pizzas with the pizza dough crust and al kinds of kale and mushroom pastry cups or packets….Oh man, the wheels are turning!
girl i know your brain is churning HARD. You need to contact Pillsbury yourself. You’d be a FABULOUS recipe developer for their new line. Just sayin..
bacon and banana? interesting combo – i’m game to try!
oh my gosh so excited! Now if they made croissants too, I’d just die of happiness.
you can kinda make croissants with the pastry dough. Well, i tried. Not the same shape but tasted so good.
Who needs a recipe? Just give me that tub of cookie dough and a spoon!
Oh yay! I’m so happy to hear you’re finally able to enjoy some pastry goodness – everyone needs that in their life. But my goodness, lady… bananas and bacon? Do you ever know how to do it in style…
life is too short not too. Yes?
COOKIES! Maybe a cookie ice cream cake? 🙂
Yeah Pillsbury! This is amazing and I’d love to use the pie dough to make a delicious summer pie!
I’m sure I would make pizza with this but that banana bacon cup you made is awfully temping!
Oh yum. Bacon. Bananas. Avocado. Do you deliver?!
You’re so brilliant. I heart you!
seriously thought of you the whole time.. swoon. bacon.. lover. <3
Wait til you see Friday’s recipe… 😉
P.S. You should link this up!!!
oh i can’t wait! and yes, i wanted to link this up but didn’t know if i could since it wasn’t the friday strange but good combo. But since you said so…..ok!
For sure! You don’t hvae to post it on Friday… you just have to remember to link it on Friday. LOL!
YUM!!! Pastries and cookies and pies that won’t leave me painfully bloated?! I’m in!
YUM! a summer pizza with everything on it sounds good to me!
I would love to try out these gluten free baking mixes for my step dad. He misses lots of baked goods and such and is not really into cooking, but I am and would love to experiment with them!
Neato! I’m eating more GF and love it! I’d make more new baked goodies!
Fruit pizza!
Pies… I love making pies! I can’t wait to pick apples and make fresh apple pie this fall 🙂

I would love to try making pizza with the dough!
I’ve wanted to try this…first up would be strawberry pie! Yum 🙂

When I saw those on your Instagram, I was excited for GF people! I can’t wait until they make vegan stuff like that for my hubby!
Your recipe sounds drool-worthy. It must be amazing to have baked in that heat!
oh maybe they will! email them! and baking in the heat is not amazing. LOL!
GF pizza dough?! Yes please!
SO agreed. I’ll have to check the ingredients list for other allergens, but I need less gluten in my life!
I love the convenience of all of these. I cannot wait to try the pizza dough to make a Summertime pizza…possibly a bbq pizza?
Yes! Would love to try all 3!
This pastry dough sounds awesome and I love that it’s gluten free! The pastry cups look fantastic!
I have seen those cookie cups on pinterest and I always want to make them. Orrrr you can just come on over and make them for moi. Love you.
we really are thinking about doing training in SLC next year. I need your friends info!
