Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread

This easy pumpkin bread recipe comes together in just a few minutes and can also be made dairy free! It's moist, soft, and just slightly spicy. I also love to wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap and store it on the counter for up to four days, slicing off a piece now and then. It stores really well (see the notes section for more on that). Gluten free, dairy free. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up fast, now is the time to start doing some winter baking. This incredibly easy ...

October 22, 2017 Main Dishes

Gluten Free Easy Pot Pie Recipe with Leftover Beef or Chicken Stew

This gluten free easy pot pie recipe transforms leftover beef or chicken stew into a delicious and hearty winter meal. You can also make this ahead of time and freeze for up to six weeks! Can be made as a large pie or as mini pies.  I'm so glad it's fall. As I write this, a cinnamon-vanilla scented candle burns near my laptop (but luckily not too near). A bowl of popcorn sits temptingly on the table nearby, left by my roommate with the invitation to help myself. I am trying to resist. ...

These easy fluffy gluten free pumpkin pancakes with chocolate chips make a perfect fall breakfast!

Fluffy Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes

These gluten free pumpkin pancakes are fluffy, super easy, and reminiscent of pumpkin pie. But with chocolate. What's not to love? Gluten free, can be refined sugar free.  It's the time of year to make things with pumpkin. Like these pumpkin doughnuts, for instance.  Or pumpkin pie. Definitely pumpkin pie (especially this recipe, which happens to be free of refined sugar, and made with real pumpkin or butternut squash and cream instead of evaporated milk). Or these light and ...

Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes with Blueberry Strawberry Sauce (Gluten Free)

These gluten free mini dutch babies are cooked in a muffin pan to perfect serving-sized puffiness. Coated with fruit sauce, they are a beautiful and delicious breakfast or coffee accompaniment. And did I mention that they only take like 30 minutes to make? You need these. Now. See those plates? I am so excited about those plates. Yes, I know what your thinking: "Here it is at last. Confirmation that Linnaea is 100% insane. I think it's time I unsubscribed from this blog." Insane ...

Peanut Butter Chocolate Covered Dates

Every now and then, you need survival food. This is why my Dad always brings chocolate chips when we go hiking. Often, the youngest of my little siblings will start dragging her feet and moaning quite a bit. The second to youngest (aka my slightly dramatic and should-be-an-actress sister) tends to collapse in the middle of the trail and start giving us her last will and testament while other hikers pass by giving us strange looks. If they weren't already giving us strange looks because the ...

Gluten Free Pumpkin Doughnuts

These sweet, aromatic, slightly spicy gluten free pumpkin doughnuts are the perfect fall and winter treat. Filled with chocolate chips and sprinkled with sugar, they go perfectly with Netflix, cozy socks, and a hot cup of apple cider. This is also one of the easiest baked goods you will ever make. Winter is here, folks. I can feel it seeping through my jacket as I bike to class in the morning, head bent against the wind. I feel it when I wake up in the morning and really can’t even ...

Dutch Baby Recipe with Vanilla Peach Sauce

This gluten free Dutch baby recipe makes a beautiful Dutch baby pancake coated in buttery vanilla peach sauce. The Dutch baby itself is slightly crispy on the edges, perfectly puffy, and just a bit like custard inside. Can be eaten for breakfast...or dessert! You guys, since the last post there have been some serious changes. I’ve started hanging out with tons of people who don’t know how to do anything, eat poor quality food and like it, live in closet-sized spaces with people they’ve ...

Gluten Free Recipe for Ice Cream (Chocolate/Vanilla)

This recipe for ice cream actually started out in New Zealand this past winter. One very hot afternoon (February in New Zealand, remember, is actually summer) we all got back from working to find ourselves longing for ice cream (yes, we worked on the New Zealand trip. And made up a new hashtag: #lifeofacheapskate). I’d found a recipe for ice cream a few days earlier that did not require a machine and decided that this was a perfect opportunity to try it. After making my brother-in-law whip ...

The laaaaaaast one. I won't say it's been fun, easy, or exactly something I'd want to repeat. My Mom officially announced that "Linnaea, your time management skills are not what I thought they were."

Gluten free and paleo friendly chocolate roulade recipe

Chocolate Roulade Recipe (Gluten Free and Paleo Friendly)

This gluten free and paleo friendly chocolate roulade recipe is a beautiful dessert. The greatest part, in my opinion, is that it looks impressive but is actually super easy to make. Though a chocolate roulade, or “yule log” is generally a Christmas dessert, it’s something I make year round. I’ll be making it more and more in the future as well, I think....since I can foresee it becoming one of my go-to paleo dessert recipes (I like to have a few of those up my sleeve). It is true that the ...

Gluten Free Oliebollen Recipe: A Dutch New Year’s Treat

Enjoy this yeasty gluten free oliebollen recipe! Oliebollen is a Dutch New Year’s treat that literally translates to “oil balls,” which means that oliebollen is the most unhealthy, most delicious, most oily-and-yeasty-and-soft-and-crunchy-and-sweet thing there is. I come from a very Dutch family. There are several inevitable facts resulting from this: First, we’re all tall. Except me. I tell my sisters that “I’m not short, I’m just short enough to wear heels and be awesome.” Second, we’re ...

Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie (Refined Sugar Free, No Evaporated Milk)

We used to get sick every year around Christmas time. It’s true there are a lot of colds going around this time of year, as well as a lot of people getting together having parties and such, but there are colds going around for a lot of the year and usually we don’t get sick. It could be all the Vitamin C that we take every time cold season rolls around (though really sometimes I think the Vitamin C actually makes me sick...it tastes awful). I think mainly we don’t get sick because our ...

Chocolate Fudge Brownie Gluten Free Cookies

These gluten free cookies taste like a cross between a fudgy brownie and those chewy chocolate cookies you remember! Believe me, you won't be disappointed in these gluten free cookies! I dare you to only eat one! I’m currently living by myself, tragically cast away by my cruel family, left adrift in this world. Actually, it was I who left them. Not that I had any choice. They practically booted me out, saying, “See ya. Don’t let the door hit you on the butt on the way out.” Okay, fine, it ...

Hungry sisters. “Linnaea,” they said, “We are hungry.” (Actually they said it in Pig Latin. I’m translating here). Merciful sister that I am: “Don’t worry, angels, I shall feed you.” (It didn’t sound quite so good in Pig Latin). “Oh, thank you, Linnaea, and in return, we will serve you forevermore.” “That’s not necessary, my darling sisters.” Okay, fine. ...

2-Serving Paleo Chocolate Mousse

Let me establish something right off the bat: This paleo chocolate mousse does not taste like straight up coconut cream. I get it, I get it. Coconut cream thickens nicely. Coconut cream tastes good with chocolate. Coconut cream is easy to turn into a mousse. But it's easy to get tired of coconut cream mousse. Sometimes you just want regular, honest, silky smooth chocolate mousse that doesn't even hint of coconut. Yes, I use coconut cream in this recipe, but, no, you can't ...

Then, while updating some of the recipes on my blog the other day I came upon the chocolate clafouti recipe and realized that I never did make a real gluten free fruit clafouti. I was also looking for something to make for breakfast the next morning (yes, even though it’s a dessert). So I decided to go for it. I’m not normally ...

Butternut “Pumpkin” Pie

  CLICK HERE for an updated version of this post! I took it into my head that this year I wanted to make a pumpkin pie without any of that toxic white sugar. Of course, I haven't completely given up on white sugar. Yesterday's fudge post should be proof of that. But either way, this pumpkin pie is sugar free. I also ran out of canned pumpkin and didn't realize it until I had started the pie. I could've backed out even then, but you see, I'd already decided to make pumpkin ...

Sometimes I feel like writing and sometimes I don't. Today I don't. So I probably shouldn't, because I'll end up writing something really weird about aliens or extinct mammoths, and then I'll come back here later and look at it and wonder how I even started thinking about extinct mammoths.

Flourless Fudge Brownies

I feel so disloyal. You see, I have another brownie recipe. A good brownie recipe. A brownie recipe that I’ve sworn by for at least seven years. A brownie recipe that has never once disappointed. But we were out of flour yesterday. We needed a dessert. (Yes, you heard me. We needed a dessert. This is a basic human right that we’re talking about here). So I had to make dessert. It had to be quick and it had to be flourless. The result? Flourless fudge brownies. I ...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gluten-free flours have less “hold” than gluten flours. Obviously. I’ve found that this is a problem in cookie and pie making because all of the butter in the mix just melts all over the place because there’s nothing to hold it together. With my pie crust, I finally got the perfect recipe with cream cheese. Cream cheese is firmer and doesn’t melt as much, so that way I was able to keep the crust firm without compromising that sweet buttery flavor. I was having the same “melt” ...

I’ve had this lemon cake recipe ready for a while, but haven’t gotten around to posting it. Until now, of course. For some reason I’ve developed a fondness for lemons.

Lemon Vanilla Crepes

I really should stop going on pinterest. A few days ago some beautiful lemon vanilla crepes flashed before my eyes, and suddenly I remembered that I hadn’t made crepes for a long time. But these ones were gluten-stuffed. And sugar stuffed. And they were too hard to make. And you had to let the dough refrigerate for a whole hour, or (gasp!) overnight. I don’t usually plan ahead the night before, and I especially will not get out of bed an hour earlier. Will not. So I made my ...

But pretty much everything paleo that I’ve made (except for the few paleo recipes on this blog) has not turned out very well. There just isn’t much to work with. If you asked me what is in these cupcakes, the honest answer would be “nothing.” Because I myself have absolutely no clue how these cupcakes even existed.

Chewy Granola Bars

  I’ve made so many batches of non paleo, somewhat paleo, and completely paleo granola bars that I'm surprised anyone dared to eat these at all. It isn’t that the former batches were bad. They just…weren’t…good. They had all the granola bar flavor, but none of the “stick-together-ness.” Actually, never mind. I was intending to make breakfast granola every single one of those times. Not granola bars. Crumbly breakfast granola. That’s it. Even though I did perhaps mistakenly call it ...
