This gluten free strawberry rhubarb cake is a whole mess of goodness, and it may look like an actual mess but it’s so worth making this spring/summer/whenever you happen to have fresh or frozen strawberries and rhubarb around. It’s made with a lightly sweet gluten free browned butter vanilla cake, layered with heaps of pillowy soft ricotta + whipped cream, and piles of roasted strawberries and rhubarb. It’s happiness in a bowl (or plate, though it’s a bit of a challenge with this one) and despite it’s aesthetic, it’s a brilliant and easy cake to make for guests or your favorite people (including yourself!). If you aren’t a fan of…

Gluten Free Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
If you love chocolate + mint, these gluten free chocolate mint chip cookies are for you. As a kid (pre-gluten free days) I loooooved Thin Mints (I was a Girl Scout for ~10 years!) and mint chocolate chip ice cream (still do). I’ve yet to translate this love into a towering gluten free mint chocolate chip layer cake (one day!), but I have made chocolate peppermint shortbread and have wanted to make a chewy bakery style chocolate mint cookie for a while now. Soooooo what better time to recipe test than the winter months right before the holidays! I ended up finding and using the Guittard gluten free mint baking…

Gluten Free S’mores Cookies
All hail the most epic bake for the summer (so far): these gluten free s’mores cookies!! S’mores aren’t big in the UK, but they’re a huge nostalgic treat for those of us from the States, so baking anything s’mores related is always fun. For those of you new to s’mores, they’re essentially a sticky, sweet, super indulgent summer dessert composed of a sort of sandwich of graham crackers (sort of similar to digestive biscuits in the UK but better), filled with a piece of milk chocolate and a toasted marshmallow! The classic s’mores are made around a campfire while camping during the summer, and a s’mores session always ends with…

Gluten Free Triple Chocolate Cookies
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…

Giant Gluten Free Strawberry Banana Muffins
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…

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…
