Happy summer in Northern Hemisphere November? Yes! It just snowed in Oxford and I am loving the winter wonderland vibes, but I also miss the comfort of a cocoon of warm sun in July and these muffins absolutely embody that. They’re giant gluten free pineapple coconut muffins and they’re darn magical: fluffy muffins packed with pineapple and with coconut extract, topped with literal pure sunshine in the form of a pineapple coconut glaze. If you’re already car-stuck-in-the-driveway deep in snow and are missing that summer sunshine, these will brighten up your kitchen, guaranteed. For those of you just joining, we started creating GIANT muffin recipes about 8 months ago after…

Giant Gluten Free Carrot Cake Muffins
These are a gosh-darn classic: giant gluten free carrot cake muffins with all the fixins! They’ve got carrots, pecans, walnuts, applesauce, golden raisins (golden! because I’m absolutely not a fan of the other ones), and coconut! The coconut adds a fantastic nutty, cozy flavor that rounds out the spices for the perfect fall breakfast or after school/work treat. They’re also some of the easiest giant muffins on the blog, so go ahead and do yourself a favor and make a batch or two. I’ve got to say, I’m usually not a huge fan of traditional carrot cake (read up on this long-time grudge in our vanilla almond carrot cake recipe…

Sound good? Read on. This cake was actually a happy mistake: I had committed to make a mini celebratory pineapple coconut cake for a friend in the Bay Area for her anniversary, and to make the recipe a bit easier, I just made triple what I would have needed for that tiny…

Giant Gluten Free Chocolate Pear Muffins
Pears seem to be the softest-spoken fall fruit: their swooping shape quietly elegant, buttery, just-sweet interiors perfect for cool, gentle fall days. I, at least, often forget about them while doing my weekly grocery shop. But they’re really a lovely fruit and deserve a generous moment in the sun. I’d seen lots of ideas for chocolate pear cakes and tortes, but had never tried the combination myself, so it seemed rather apt to create a new fall-flavored giant muffin that featured it. I can safely say that this is one of my favorite chocolate giant muffins, and the tenderness of the pear, both in flavor and texture, lends itself to…
