Made with a homemade or store bought gluten free vanilla cake mix, this gluten free pumpkin dump cake is always the first dessert to go at a fall party. You won’t believe just how easy it is.

Why this is the best gluten free dump cake for fall

I’ll start off by saying that this super simple pumpkin pie dump cake tastes so good. It’s so addicting, it previously had a wildly inappropriate name playing on the fact that it’s good, you wouldn’t be able to control yourself around it. (And for the record: I didn’t invent the name; it’s one that’s commonly given to treats that are too tasty to turn down.)

Today, it has a name that’s a bit more descriptive of its preparation process — it’s a dump cake, because you dump everything together! It’s also known as a gluten free pumpkin crunch cake, because it … Read more

These gluten free coffee cake muffins with everyone’s favorite crumble mixed into the batter and baked on top make any breakfast special. You can’t beat that tender crumb and nubby topping!

A muffin is not a quick bread loaf

When I share a recipe for a quick bread loaf or cake, I’m often asked if the recipe can be made as muffins or cupcakes. When I post a recipe for muffins or cupcakes, well, you get the idea.

But a muffin is not a quick bread loaf and a cake is not a cupcake—and I promise I’m not trying to be difficult! This is also not something that’s unique to gluten free baking at all. The same holds true for conventional baking.

Just so we’re all on the same page, the term “quick bread” refers to baked goods that are made with chemical leaveners such as baking powder and baking … Read more

This magic gluten free custard cake creates 3 layers all by itself. The simplest ingredients make the most amazing, light and fluffy cake with a magical custard base!

What is a gluten free magic custard cake anyway?

When I first saw this spongelike custard cake, I figured it was some kind of fancy pants cake that had 3 distinct layers, each baked separately and then assembled or something. (It’s not like I’m one to shy away from some fancy pants recipes, like classic yeasted gluten free croissants.)

Imagine my relief (and now I hope yours!) to see that it has the simplest, most basic ingredient list ever (butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt). Don’t you love it when that happens?

By the way, if it looks like the most tender and moist vanilla cake you’ve ever tasted, buckle up. That’s exactly what this magic tastes-like-custard-cake is: like our gf sponge cake, … Read more

These soft gluten free cut out sugar cookies with a meringue-style frosting are in a class by themselves. They’ll hold any shape you like, and they’re absolutely scrumptious with that thick layer of buttercream frosting.

You know those soft frosted sugar cookies at the store? I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve basically got a Lofthouse copycat recipe here — except better! No one will know these gluten free sugar cookies aren’t the “real thing”!

The best gluten free cut out sugar cookie recipe

These gluten free sugar cookies are so good, they make me want to wax lyrical about their fabulousness. Here’s why they’re so good:

• Classic taste and texture — they’ve got the crispy edges and soft centers that you expect from the perfect sugar cookie
• Sweet but not overpowering — on their own, they’re great cookies, but they’re even better with frosting

These soft gluten free pumpkin cookies are lightly spiced, pumpkin-flavored, and only gently browned in the oven. They’re chewy, but fluffy, and are a lovely addition to the holiday season.

Why you’ll love this gluten free pumpkin cookie recipe

Some holiday cookies can really knock you out with all their holiday specialness. I’m thinking of gf rainbow cookies, and even gluten free gingerbread men, with all their rolling and cutting and stacking. Sometimes, you just want a simple pumpkin cookie that you can sink your teeth into and isn’t overpowering. These are that cookie.

Here’s why you’ll love these gf fall cookies :

• They’re soft, chewy, and perfectly spiced but never overdone (if you overdo the spices, your tongue will detect some bitterness).
• They have a more subtle pumpkin flavor than our gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
• They’re easy to make with simple ingredients in one
