It is Gluten-Free Pancake Tuesday
If you have been following this blog for a while already, you will know that I LOVE pancakes! We have them quite often on a Saturday morning, or a Sunday brunch/lunch, or even for a quick weeknight supper. I love them topped with maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or apple sauce (my new favorite). My children share my love. When I start frying pancakes, they come running from all ends of the house and yell “Pancakes!”. My husband, although not a lover of pancakes, is no longer a hater either. He’s tolerant with our enjoyment of the little fried cakes, … Continue reading

It’s Mardi Gras ~ Time for Gluten-Free King Cake
When you mention the words “Mardi Gras” most people instantly think of New Orleans. Although I have never traveled to New Orleans, it is a place that I think many people, myself included, have dreamed of visiting. Although the thought of the overcrowding on Bourbon Street, at night, during Mardi Gras is enough to put me in a cold sweat, being able to visit the culturally rich area is something I would still love to do one day. There are many culturally rich foods associated with Mardi Gras, and one of those is the King Cake. Having lived in southern … Continue reading

The Ultimate Sticky Monkey Bread
With the holiday right around the corner, I took it upon myself to make the BEST gluten-free Monkey Bread (or Bubble Bread) that I could. After the success of my Best Gluten-Free Cinnamon Buns last January, I decided to try using that dough to create the best Monkey Bread I could do. I don’t mean to toot my own horn here, but I think I’ve done it. I did make a gluten-free Monkey Bread last Christmas, and it was good, but wasn’t great. I’m always trying to raise the bar with gluten-free baking, and improving existing recipes is a part … Continue reading

Gluten-Free Bagels
Bagels. When you are on a gluten-free diet, having a good bagel can be a challenge. In the past year, I have found some fantastic store bought bagels, but they can cost up to $8 for 4 of them. With prices like that, having bagels is a very, very special treat, not something you can eat on a daily basis. These bagels are not only gluten-free, but they are also egg-free and dairy-free, and they cost about $2.85 for 4, or $0.70 each. A special Thank-you to Linda, one of my readers, for encouraging me to give bagel making a … Continue reading

Autumn Baked Oatmeal
When the cooler temperatures hit us, I like to change up our breakfasts. Instead of cereal and cold milk, it is nice to have a nice warm, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. Baked oatmeal fits the bill when it comes to that. If you or your family does not like cooked oatmeal, be sure to give baked oatmeal a try, it has a completely different texture. This baked oatmeal includes all the wonderful flavours of Fall. Pumpkin, maple syrup, pecans, apples, cranberries and spices. I love that it can be baked the day before and just reheated in the microwave for a few … Continue reading

Gluten-free Gingerbread Waffles with Pear Sauce
If you have been reading here for a while, you will know that I really love pancakes and waffles. Thank goodness the kids do too, they would never turn down pancakes or waffles, whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. These waffles had a great gingerbread flavour, but because of the molasses in the batter, you have to be sure to grease your waffle iron. Mine is a non-stick iron, but these still wanted to hold onto the griddle a little. So, have your spray bottle of oil ready when making these. Although you could serve these pancakes with … Continue reading

Gluten Free Pumpkin Crepes
I truly do love all things pumpkin, and the other day when my son asked me if we could have crepes, I decided to try my hand at making them pumpkin crepes. I’m not sure how that happened. All things started out normal, then the next thing I know, I’m reaching for my jar of pumpkin puree! However, they were a huge success and everyone’s crepe cravings has been filled. These would be really great with some whipped cream in them, but we kept things simple and just served them with some maple syrup.

Big, Fluffy, Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits
In my pre-gluten free days, I used to make a pretty mean biscuit. The kind that Aunt Bee would serve to Opie. The kind that you could use to clean your plate after a meal. The kind that were great for dinner, brunch, or breakfast, topped with cheese and jam or just a dab of butter. I missed those. I’ve tried to convert my old recipe, and it just did not work well. But, since I’ve been playing around with the scones recipes lately, I realized that I could tweak that recipe to make some great biscuits to go with … Continue reading

Gluten Free Mocha Waffles
I know I teased some of you on the Baking Beauties Facebook page with these waffles a long time ago, but then I got side tracked and nearly forgot about them. I say nearly, because well, how could you forget something so delicious? These waffles have a beautiful chocolate/coffee flavour to them, they are super easy to make, and are nice and light. What more could you want? Another cherry?

Gluten Free Vanilla Scones
These light, fluffy, vanilla-y scones are sure to help you push through this Monday morning! Or a Wednesday meeting, or even a Friday afternoon. They are that good! Using a the seeds from a scraped vanilla bean really adds a nice layer of flavour, but if you don’t have access to vanilla beans (which, by the way, I order online) you can use 2 more teaspoons of a good vanilla extract as well. I love seeing the little vanilla flecks in the scone & icing drizzle. To make these scones extra light, I used a food processor to mix the … Continue reading
