These gluten free caramel cornflake cookies were an EPIC experiment, and I’m SO excited to finally share the recipe because they’re insanely satisfying. Imagine a rich, chewy-centered, crispy-edged cookie, with crunchy cornflakes and sultry caramel and then make these and stop imagining and actually eat an entire batch. They’ve got all the desirable cookie textures in one perfect package, and are great gifts/party food too! They’ve got a couple more steps than the other cookies on the blog because they use browned butter and homemade caramel, but if you’re a bit nervous about homemade caramel (TOTALLY understandable), you can absolutely grab a store-bought caramel sauce and cut down the time…

Gluten Free Almond Fig Cake with Molasses Caramel Sauce and Commandaria Wine
Figs are some of the most remarkable fruits: jammy, indulgent, oh-so-sweet but never cloying, rich, but impeccably fresh when just-picked. Which is part of the reason I was so excited to make this gluten free fig cake. But ALSO because, not only is this easy but elegant bundt packed with fresh figs, it’s also heavenly with toasted almonds, molasses, honey, browned butter, and smothered in a simple but astoundingly-good molasses and honey caramel sauce that comes together in under 10 minutes on the stove top. Who could say no to that? The mix of flavors in this cake comes to us from a brand new Wine & Dessert pairing with…

Gluten Free Chocolate Caramel Pecan Tart
Currently looking for a boatload of friends who want to share this MASSIVE bottle of gorgeously rich 10 yo Tawny Port while indulging with a slice of this gluten free chocolate caramel and pecan tart because WOW I need to eat some real food and not just this glorious combo all day. But hey, it’s a heck of a way to start a Friday! This is our second collab with a brilliant wine-expert friend in Vienna, Austria, Iker Berasaluce (check out his Instagram here!!) pairing incredible wines with incredible gluten free desserts, and it does not disappoint. The first collab we did was bright, fresh, very citrusy, and AMAZING. Props…

Gluten Free Caramelized White Chocolate Blondies
White chocolate has always been one of those things that I never really got. Why take the chocolate out of chocolate? Why go with just the cocoa butter and a mild, dusty, warm sweetness that lacks the bold depth and bright bite of chocolate chocolate? I must admit, after splurging on some high-quality white chocolate for this and a few other baking projects, I now understand the appeal (though I still prefer a good milk or dark any day). The buttery closeness of a soft, hazy white chocolate is quite delicious. Now, when I started seeing trays of molten white chocolate deepening into rich, sultry caramel colors on so many…

Gluten Free Snickers Tart
WhenI first was diagnosed with Celiac – even before, actually – I thought I’d never eat a candy bar again. In 6th grade, we embarked on a “what’s wrong with Amelia” crusade that involved thesis-worthy research into the myriad syndromes, allergies, or intolerances that could possibly stop me from growing or gaining any weight at age 11 or that could be the culprit for the seemingly endless number of quotidian digestive issues I faced. It was a fun year y’all, let me tell you. Though my mother was the real hero – not taking “I don’t know” for an answer from any doctor, always demanding we take the test or…

Gluten Free Caramel Apple Brandy Bundt Cake
This may be the best bundt I’ve ever made. Bold statement, I know, but so far I’ve eaten four slices of this cake since finishing the photoshoot and honestly, if it wasn’t 10pm and if I wasn’t already way too tired thinking about work tomorrow, I’d walk the 20 feet to the kitchen and sneak a 5th. It has apples (loads of them – both in chunked and grated form for maximum moistness), it has Calvados, a gorgeously-apply French apple brandy, it has fall spices, and it is absolutely soaked in a caramel apple brandy glaze. You heard that all correctly. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for but it…

Gluten Free Caramel Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
The macadamia nut is such a divine little bauble. What a nut! Buttery, with a slight tang and a delicate crunch that most nuts just dream of. And, unbeknownst to me (until about 10 minutes ago), they’re indigenous to Australia! Typically, when I think of these expensive, tiny, orbs, I think of neatly-packed Hawaiian Host boxes with sleeves of caramel and chocolate-enrobed salted, roasted macadamia nuts – the classic gift that numerous friends in college would bring back from Maui after winter breaks at home on the islands. But no! Like so many foods, the origin and original champion of these nuts was not the region that eventually made them…

Gluten Free Caramel Latte Cupcakes
Caramel is always seen as a difficult thing to make; only trained chefs or your grandmother know how to make it. However, that’s simply not the case. Caramel is finicky and delicious as any other sauce or reduction, but as you know, well worth the effort. Coffee on the other hand, is as easy to make as putting a pod into a machine these days. I may not have experience as a barista, but I know exactly how to make coffee that I love. I started drinking coffee at the young age of ten, when I would steal quick sips of my mother’s coffee drinks from Costco. The rumor that…

Gluten Free German Chocolate Cupcakes
I distinctly remember scooping giant spoonfuls of Betty Crocker German Chocolate Frosting out of the plastic tub it comes in, and eating it gleefully when I was maybe eight or nine. Prying off the red plastic top to find perfectly-solidified caramel custard, pecan and coconut goop was like finding buried treasure. How I got my hands on the tub of frosting in the first place is the real question – either very impressive childhood sneaking into the kitchen and up into the baking cupboards, or maybe we all just indulged after making a cake or cupcakes or something more reasonable. Overall, this penchant for German Chocolate topping aligns with what…
