Sugar Cookie Mini- Muffins

I was going for doughnuts. And I got them, but the flax seed spots don't look very doughnut-y. However, the taste is delicious! As a mini-muffin the spots are not as noticeable. When I have more free time, I'll try these without the flax seed. This is a variation on the chocolate doughnuts (click here).… Continue reading Sugar Cookie Mini- Muffins

Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake

The latest in adventures of gluten-free baking involved experimenting with various vanilla cupcake recipes. After much tweaking and several trials (see this post), the cupcakes tasted good, but the consistency was strange. I figured this was the result of trying to make a thick cake without eggs or gluten. I tried using my chocolate cake… Continue reading Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake

Coconut-Vanilla Icing

After coming up with a delicious gluten-free vanilla cake (see post here), I needed an equally delicious dairy and egg free icing to go on it. This is it. And I don't even like the taste of coconut all that much. I sure do with this icing though. Maybe it's all the sugar. Seriously, it's… Continue reading Coconut-Vanilla Icing

Holiday Gingerbread Cake Recipe Additions: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free

Three and a half years ago, I had to say good-bye to eggs, milk, and wheat. As time went on, I discovered and adapted recipes for pancakes, cookies, and even mini-donuts (a girl's gotta have her carbs 'n' sugar comfort food, after all). But how was I to make a cake? Without eggs? Thankfully, I… Continue reading Holiday Gingerbread Cake Recipe Additions: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free

Vanilla Blueberry Scone Recipe: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-freedom

Today is a snow day! In keeping with snow day tradition, I slept in and then made my way to the kitchen for coffee and morning baking. Last snow day, I made pancakes (recipe here). Today, however, I wanted something a little lighter and not as fried. Scones. These blueberry-vanilla scones are every bit as… Continue reading Vanilla Blueberry Scone Recipe: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-freedom

Happy National Doughnut Day

So today is National Doughnut (Donut?) Day.  Even though I am dairy and gluten free, there is never a time a will say a don't want a doughnut (or pizza, for that matter). Since I'm on summer vacation and had no plans, I thought it would be the perfect day to experiment.  After much perusing… Continue reading Happy National Doughnut Day

(Not Another) Pancake Post

Yesterday, I tweaked my recipe for dairy-gluten-egg-soy free pancakes. I've had trouble with egg-free pancakes.  They taste fine, but it's hard to add nuts and fruit to them, they crumble easily, are held together by coconut oil and a prayer, and have a wet texture, even when fully cooked.  Well... yesterday's tweaking gave me the… Continue reading (Not Another) Pancake Post
