gluten free pumpkin cupcakes? muffins? … cupffins!

Posted on October 22, 2014 by gfandme

I was aiming for dairy free, gluten free pumpkin muffins but the resulting treats were so cake-like, I thought, “Maybe I’ve serendipitously come up with a recipe for gf pumpkin cupcakes?” Then again, I wanted to eat them for breakfast – and I just can’t let myself start eating cupcakes for breakfast. “So,” I decided, “they need a new name, something that encapsulates their light-yet-hearty crumb and spicy, sweet taste.” My first attempt was “muffcake”… but Geoff said that just didn’t seem right. In the end, I went with my next oh-so-creative idea: “cupffins.” Confused? Give them a try and you’ll see what I mean.

Even people who don’t like crusts tend to love the buttery saltiness that covers these! For the first time in years, Geoff preferred the bun to the burger!

gluten free pretzel chicken

Posted on October 1, 2014 by gfandme

If you’ve been missing chicken nuggets, this is for you! The chicken in this recipe turns out fantastically tender and juicy while the pretzel coating cooks up perfectly crunchy. Make as chicken strips for a quick meal or in nugget shapes for snacks or entertaining. Great dipped in honey mustard sauce, your favorite gf BBQ sauce, or if you like it spicy, try hot sauce!

gluten free pumpkin tarts – mmmmmm pumpkin …

Posted on September 27, 2014 by gfandme

I found this fabulous recipe for cupcakes on fantasy author S. J. Wolff’s blog, Wolff’s Realm. I converted it and the result was awesome – they disappeared before I could even get a photo! So I made them again, added a ginger cookie and coconut crust, and didn’t tell anyone until I had a picture to post! The ginger and coconut flavours combined beautifully with the pumpkin, the crumbs added a bit of texture, and the tarts also came out of the pan easier.

This would also be great with Mary’s Magnificent Pie Crust!

Kit Kat Kopy Kat

Posted on September 24, 2014 by gfandme

I know, I know. These look more like a Peanut Butter Cup than a Kit Kat Bar but without a proper chocolate mold this was what we came up with! These gluten free Kit Kat “Bars” taste like the real thing. The secret is getting the chocolate to filling ratio just right! And they aren’t that difficult to make. No oven required – just a blender and a microwave. We posted this recipe last Christmas but thought we’d post it again for the upcoming Halloween Season. These would be great treats for your ghosts and goblins at any gf halloween parties!
