Pack These Low Carb Apple Muffins in Your School Lunchbox

So how did these gluten free low carb Apple Muffins come about? Well, this grain-free recipe was an act of accidental genius, and I only have this crazy house full of kids to thank. Want the short version of what happened? I was making low carb carrot muffins, actually. My plan was to alter my Carrot Cake recipe by taking the sugar out completely and using only honey as a sweetener. I also planned to substitute my gluten free flour with almond flour to make it low carb. I had all the ingredients out and had even peeled and grated the carrots. But of course, baking on a Sunday afternoon is risky business in my house. …continue reading »

Gluten-free Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins have been a fetish of mine since I was a child. They are a handy on-the-go snack that freeze very nicely. I make bulk batches when I get the urge and then freeze them for future use.

Rather than use sugar and a liquid, I substitute with maple syrup (honey tends to make them brown too fast) and I use 1/3 part almond flour in my muffin mix.

Mini Pecan Tarts, also called Nut Cups

I practiced a lot this past holiday with some of our family’s favorite home-baked cookie recipes, a tradition among the women in our extended family that dates back to a time long before I was born. This was our first gluten free Christmas, and it began with several mishaps and a lot of perseverance. Here is my all time best success this year.

These mini-muffin sized sweets are perfect for entertaining or that special occasion you’d like to attend. Also known as “Nut Cups”, this allergy friendly treat passed the test with all our gluten eating friends and family. They couldn’t taste the difference, nor did they see one. Taste, texture, and consistency are very like the familiar recipe that my grandmother and mother once prepared. We are a ‘natural foods’ family, so this recipe is also good for people following the Feingold diet and avoiding artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. …continue reading »
