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 1234 Cake or Cupcakes
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
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”
