gluten free vegan blueberry muffins
I'm a through and through muffin girl. I would make muffins every morning if I could ('m sure my family would be ok with that).

I think it's simply because they are a delicious hand-held morning treat. What do you love most about the glorious muffin? I have had many requests for gluten free blueberry muffins lately. Which is funny because I've been testing ... read more

gluten free honey oat muffins
Coming up with my own recipes is an adventure...especially with baking. The measurements have to be just right. There can't be too much liquid or too much oil. Baking gluten free and without eggs makes it even more exciting! Maybe exciting isn't the best word to use. It's always a little nerve-wracking waiting for the oven timer to go off and then taking a peak inside. Did they rise? Did they fall? Is it a masterpiece or a big, fat disaster? No ... read more

gluten free zucchini muffins
School mornings can be so not a pretty sight. It's early and no one wants to be up yet. You're telling your kids to get dressed for the 10 millionth time. Smelling their breath to see if they really did brush their teeth. Trying to pack their lunch and get yourself ready...which is a rarity. Don't even get me started on breakfast. My kids don't like eating right when they wake up so it's ALWAYS a battle to get them to get food in their little bellies before we ... read more

As much as I would love to make him cinnamon rolls every morning, they are very time consuming. Now that I have made these cinnamon roll ... read more
gluten free banana muffins
How much do I love these banana muffins, let me count the ways. They are super moist. They taste just like a banana muffin should taste. Oh, and you can't eat just one. I started making these muffins before going gluten free and I knew I had to give them a try with my flour blend. I must say, they are even better than the gluten-filled version! They are light and fluffy, full of fresh banana flavor. The addition of the Greek yogurt adds to the moistness ... read more
