All hail the most EPICally indulgent treat I’ve made in ages: these gluten free triple chocolate cookies!! They’re big, they’re bold, they’re packed with my favorite cocoa powder, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and have a secret ingredient that just shifts all of that good stuff up to an unbelievable level of YUM. These cookies were an unexpectedly successful baking adventure that was prompted by me realizing that I didn’t have any baked goods to give a friend I was meeting for drinks this week (looking at you, Matt!) and hastily drafting a recipe that would be fast, easy, delicious, and kid-friendly (chocolate always seems like a safe bet)! So thank…

Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Ginger Cookies
These are INSANE. I was in shock after the first bite and utterly astounded that I had found my dream cookie y’all. These gluten free dark chocolate ginger cookies are a case study in indulgence, packed with dutched cocoa powder and chopped dark chocolate for double the chewy, gooey, chocolately goodness, and studded with sultry, rich candied ginger. The ultimate dark chocolate cookie with all of the elegance and spice of crystalized ginger gems. I cannot believe I haven’t tried this combo in cookie form before!! (I did try it in muffin form with these giant chocolate ginger muffins, but I’m now going to be trying it in all recipes…

Gluten Free Coffee Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These gluten free coffee walnut cookies are a DREAM (and also have actual coffee in them so if you’re like me and don’t normally drink coffee at all, I’d recommend avoiding eating these after 3pm lol). They’re a massively delicious cookie, with, as stated previously, lots of coffee, vanilla, toasty walnuts, and luxurious chunks of dark chocolate (I actually chopped up the leftover dark chocolate easter eggs that we had in the kitchen and tossed them in – utterly fantastic use of Easter chocolate). These cookies take inspiration from my coffee chocolate walnut cake, that I recently made again for one of my housemate’s birthdays. There’s something incredibly elegant and…

Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies
These gluten free funfetti cookies are a huge triumph for me – they’re big, chewy in the center, crispy on the edges, with a fantastic crunch of sprinkles throughout (basically my ideal cookie)! I’ve had a low-level dread of coming up with new gluten free cookie recipes after countless attempts over the past 15 or so years that resulted in dry, crumbly, cakey, “gluten free tasting” (if you know you know) cookies. Now, to be fair, I have come up with a few recipes in the past three years, notably my absolute go-to hazelnut chocolate cookies, or these peanut butter sandwich (nutter butter) cookies, or these tahini chocolate chunk cookies…

Gluten Free Mini Eggs Blondies
These gluten free mini eggs blondies are a revelation – not only are they the FIRST ever baked good I’ve made using Cadbury mini eggs, they’re also ridiculously easy, filled with indulgent browned butter, and are the perfect treat for Easter morning or for any sweet gifts you want to share with friends and family this weekend. They’re also the first thing I’ve baked back in my house in Oxford in over a month and it feels so incredibly good to get to be creative in the kitchen again. It’s certainly been a bit of a bizarre last 5 weeks with some really challenging and emotional experiences and decisions, so…

Gluten Free Ube Coconut Cake
This gluten free ube coconut cake was dreamt up as a very special birthday cake for a very special person in our lives: our mom Lynn! If you’ve read through our other recipes or follow along with our gluten free baking adventures on our Instagram, you’ll know that our mom has been one of the most constant sources of inspiration, and knowledge, for our baking hobby. And after the recent unexpected and scary events that led me to need to come back to Oregon in order to get distance from Oxford, I happen to be home around her birthday – so I finally get to make her a cake! In…

Gluten Free Filled Strawberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Buttercream
New recipe alert! Gluten free filled strawberry cupcakes with my favorite cream cheese frosting! It’s been a minute since I posted a new recipe here – it’s been a wild (and VERY positive) term here at Oxford and I haven’t been doing much recipe development! The past 8 weeks have been an absolutely whirl wind: falling in love, getting Covid (and isolating with the person I fell in love with), baking lots of stuff but mostly things I’d baked before (“comfort bakes”), working more on my PhD here at Oxford as I prepare for future field work, exploring more of the UK countryside with housemates, and now at the end…

Gluten Free Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Bars
These have been proclaimed the house favorite by all three of my roommates out of all the things I’ve baked so far while living here in the UK. They’re THAT good. These gluten free pecan pie bars aren’t just any old pecan pie bars, they’ve got a buttery shortbread crust, they’ve got bourbon, they’ve got chocolate, and they’ve got a so much richness that you may just fall asleep after eating one. I wanted to make a pecan pie for our belated house Thanksgiving + early Christmas dinner that we put together last Friday in our little row house here in Oxford, but after pondering making a pie crust (something…

Gluten Free Lemon Ricotta Cake
If you love lemon, this cake is for you! It’s the ULTIMATE gluten free lemon ricotta cake, composed of moist, not-too-sweet lemon ricotta cake layers (inspired by Kendra’s lemon ricotta cupcakes), filled with whipped ricotta + cream, lemon glaze, and heaps of tart lemon buttercream. It’s got every form of lemon you can think of and makes for a sunny, cheerful cake for any occasion. In this case, one of my roommates, Verity, requested a non-chocolate cake for her recent 30th birthday, and after learning from her brother that one of her favorite cakes is lemon drizzle, I knew that turning Kendra’s lemon ricotta cupcakes into an actual layer cake…

Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
These are a family favorite and one of our mom’s absolute most brilliant recipes – gluten free or otherwise!! In this case, these gluten free chocolate crinkle cookies are a dream and a half and perfect for the holidays or for a year-round treat. These have a bit of a new twist on them, with more cocoa powder (and dutched!) than in the original Mama Lynn recipe, which give them a deeper chocolate flavor and a bit of a chew reminiscent of macarons that I just love. They’re also some of the easiest cookies on the blog, so as long as you have a few hours (the dough does need…
