These giant gluten free strawberry banana muffins are one of my childhood favorites in muffin form! Strawberry banana and strawberry kiwi were two of my favorite fruity flavor combos as a kid, so you better believe this was one of the flavors I was most excited to bake into a giant muffin! For those of you just joining, I started creating GIANT muffin recipes over a year ago after reminiscing over the giant Costco muffins we used to eat as kids prior to getting diagnosed with Celiac. The giant muffin saga has since developed into a plethora of flavors beyond the classic Costco lot, though over the past few months…

Giant Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
These giant gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip muffins are the first new giant muffin recipe that I’ve made in months and it feels good to get back to the giant muffin tradition! The last 5 weeks have shaken me up quite a bit and I’m thankful for friends and family who have truly supported me through unexpected challenges and disturbing events. And through their support, I’ve been able to regain my energy for getting creative and doing activities that I love, like baking and food photography. If you’re feeling down or low on energy or emotionally drained, I’m sending you comfort and support and hoping that you can get back…

Giant Gluten Free Pineapple Coconut Muffins
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.

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…

Giant Gluten Free Black Sesame and White Chocolate Chip Muffins
Black sesame is one of the most sultry, smooth, indulgent flavors out there, and is so fun to bake with. I’m so thankful that I’ve been able to try so many incredible black sesame treats, from black sesame mochi and ice cream, to this black sesame and white chocolate cake, to these black sesame rice krispie treats (a fancy grown up version of your childhood favorite), and there are SO many other incredible black sesame bakes out there if you just do a quick google search. So, with all that, I knew I had to make a gluten free black sesame muffin to add to the giant muffin series –…

Giant Gluten Free Toasted Coconut Muffins
I have a vivid memory of tasting my first coconut ice cream bar as a kid from the neighborhood ice cream truck: one of the dreamiest flavors I’d ever encountered and probably ever will. That revelation has lead me to try and recreate various different coconut treats through the years, and these giant gluten free coconut muffins are the most recent one. They’re fluffy, packed with heavenly coconut flavor, tons of toasted desiccated coconut, and absolutely covered in the most incredible coconut glaze. If you’re a coconut fan, these are the muffins you need to make this week (plus, they’re wildly easy to make!). If you’re looking for more coconut…

Giant Gluten Free Pumpkin Coffee Cake Muffins
Pumpkin season is in full swing and I’m just scrambling to find cans of pumpkin puree here in the UK so that I can make these GIANT gluten free pumpkin coffee cake muffins again for my new roommates! These muffins are an utter dream: they’re fluffy, sooooo pumpkiny, topped with a melt-in-your-mouth pecan streusel AND a maple glaze. Because just pumpkin alone is good, pumpkin and streusel is great, and pumpkin, streusel, and glaze is WOW. They’re actually gosh-darn easy to make too, so don’t let the three sets of ingredients put you off. It’s worth it to get all of these out of the giant muffin pans and show…

Giant Gluten Free Toasted Almond Muffins
Almond is a flavor I’ve fallen in love with in the last five or so years. With the discovery of marzipan on trips to Austria and Germany, I discovered a whole world of ethereal flavor that I had been missing for ages, and now I’m a fan of it in nearly everything. These giant gluten free toasted almond muffins are no exception: they’re fluffy, filled with that incredible almond flavor, and packed with toasted sliced almonds for extra almondy goodness and an added crunch. I highly recommend making a batch or two of these for your morning routine or afternoon snacks, and freezing a few for a rainy day (it’s…
