I have three kids. And they can demolish a bunch of bananas in a day if they have their heart set on it. Trouble is, the next week, I buy two bunches of bananas anticipating the same banana demolition, and the kids don’t touch them. At. All. It’s frustrating. But in my determination not to let those overripe bananas go to waste, I’ll bake them into something. In this case, the Best-Ever Gluten Free Banana Bread you will ever eat. And guess what? The kids, they eat it up. Mom win. This banana bread is “spicier” than most other recipes. And by spicy, I don’t mean it will burn your…

Cheddar and Chive Cornmeal Waffles
So there’s this whole new fasting trend, where people aren’t eating breakfast. In my opinion, breakfast is the best meal of the day. It has all the best foods, pancakes, crepes, french toast, cereal, eggs and bacon, or perhaps even sausage and WAFFLES. It’s all the good stuff. Brunch is great too, it’s an excuse to eat breakfast for lunch–and pair it with booze. And then there’s brinner. Breakfast for dinner, which happens all the time at my house. No matter what meal of the day, I like sweet breakfast food, but when it takes a savory turn, I am here for it. These cheddar and chive cornmeal waffles make…

Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Donuts
Anyone else eat Nutella straight out of the jar? Anyone? All of us? That’s what I thought. If you’re a Nutella fiend, you’re in the right place. Let me confess something right off the bat: I am not a chocolate person. Go ahead with the “what’s the matter with you?!” I can take it. In my world chocolate is okay in small doses. With one exception to the rule: I LOVE Nutella. Which is why I packed the flavors of the beloved chocolate hazelnut spread into these Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Donuts! Soft and cakey, gooey and chocolaty, and delightfully crunchy these are sure to be a crowd pleaser. When I…

Gluten Free Cinnamon Aebelskiver
Aebelskiver. (e-bel-ski-ver). It’s Danish for delicious balls of yum. Kidding. But these gluten free cinnamon aebelskiver really are delish balls of yum. Eat them plain or fill them with a small dollop of jam for an extra special addition to your weekend brunch. When I first saw these tiny pancake balls during a technical challenge on The Great British Baking Show, I was fascinated. Everyone on the show was having a meltdown over how hard these little dough balls were to create. I had exactly two thoughts: There’s no way these can possibly be this hard. There so cute, I should make some. And an aebelskiver pan hopped right into…

Best-Ever Gluten Free Banana Nut Muffins
I am the QUEEN of letting perfectly good bananas go to waste. So in an effort to counter my own personal madness, I am constantly on the hunt for ways to use my ugly, but super sweet and delish bananas. That’s how The Best-Ever Gluten Free Banana Nut Muffins were born. After a quick little Google, I stumbled upon Sugar Spun Run’s recipe for The Best Banana Muffin. They looked incredibly amazing and with streusel topping-gasp-my fav! I had to give them a try. One problem. They weren’t gluten free! With my proclivity for culinary tampering, I give you what I dare say are just as good, if not better…
