Gluten Free Dairy Free Morning Glory Muffins (Coconut and Oat Versions)

Gluten Free Morning Glory Muffins with Crumble Topping

With or without crumble topping, these gluten free morning glory muffins are hearty and moist as they hold plenty of fruit and nuts. The fruit is the main source of their moisture; however, sugar is also added. You may use organic sugar to make it healthier. I eat these muffins for dessert without the topping! They’re sort of like carrot cake, but a bit heartier. They’re wonderful! I hope you enjoy them as well.

Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati

Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookie Wreath

Served during Christmas and on St. Joseph’s Day, these Italian fig cookies (Sicilian treasures) were made by my grandmother, aunt, and now two generations of cousins. Make them for any special occasion or holiday. They were not made gluten free, but they are now! Make them soft like Fig Newtons or crunchy like biscotti. People that are not on a gluten free diet usually enjoy them more than their traditional counterpart. Continue reading “Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati”

Make Ahead Gluten Free Four-Cheese Spinach Frittata

Gluten Free Spinach and Four Cheese Frittata

Well, there are two ingredients in this recipe that change all of the rules, and neither is cream cheese. This gluten free frittata turns out moist and has a balance of flavors and textures.

Gluten Free 1234 Cake or Cupcakes

Gluten Free 1-2-3-4 Cake

Once home bakers began using volume measurements, they began to make this easy-to-remember recipe for 1234 cakes. They are so called because they consist of 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs. They usually are a bit heavy similar to pound cake, but they do not contain as much butter and eggs. Therefore, they are less expensive to make. I have adjusted the method of making this cake to make it lighter. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Butter Cookies with Chocolate Coating and Caramel Filling

Gluten Free Sandwich Butter Cookies

While making these gluten free butter cookies, I accidentally browned them a bit too much. I had to think of how to hide my error, and this was my solution. They turned out so delicious, I couldn’t wait to make more. They’re similar to my Gluten Free Girl Scout Samoa Cookies, but they’re sandwich cookies instead, which balances out the sweetness. I also enjoyed the caramel filling more in this recipe. Continue reading “Gluten Free Butter Cookies with Chocolate Coating and Caramel Filling”
