Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Loaf
In Cakes and Loafs

Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Loaf

If you love chocolate as much as I do, this Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Loaf is going to be your new favourite bake. It’s rich, tender, and full of deep chocolate flavour — and just when you think it can’t get better, it’s topped with a glossy chocolate glaze and a sprinkle of chopped almonds for the perfect crunch.

This loaf has everything I want in a chocolate dessert: a moist crumb, a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth glaze, and a balance of sweet and nutty flavours that makes every bite irresistible. It looks impressive but is actually so easy to make — no mixer needed, just a bowl, whisk, and loaf pan.

The glaze seeps slightly into the loaf, keeping it extra moist, while the toasted almonds on top add a beautiful texture contrast. It’s perfect for an afternoon coffee break, a simple dessert, or even a homemade gift that looks straight from a bakery display.

Gluten Free Triple Berry Muffins

There’s something extra special about a big, bakery-style muffin—and these Gluten Free Triple Berry Muffins are exactly that. They’re soft, fluffy, and loaded with juicy berries in every bite. I love that they bake up with those tall, with golden muffin tops that make you feel like you’re sitting in your favourite coffee shop, only these are gluten free and made right at home.

I used a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a sweet-tart balance, but you can use whatever berries you have on hand—fresh or frozen both work beautifully. The secret to that bakery-style rise? Filling each muffin cup almost to the top and only filling every other cup in the muffin tin so they have room to expand and lift while baking.

These muffins are perfect for breakfast, a mid-morning snack, or a quick grab-and-go treat. Since they freeze well, taste amazing warm, and are a simple way to bring a little bakery magic into your gluten free kitchen.

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Gluten Free Apple Coffee Cake

There’s something so cozy about baking with apples, and this Gluten Free Apple Coffee Cake is one of my favourite ways to bring those warm fall flavours into the kitchen. I grow apples in my backyard, so once apple season hits, I always have more than enough to bake with. But don’t worry—if you don’t have a tree full of apples waiting for you, this recipe works beautifully with store-bought apples too.

I love using Gala apples in this coffee cake because they’re naturally sweet and hold their shape while baking, but honestly, any apple variety you enjoy will work here. The tender cake base is layered with cinnamon-sugar apples, then topped with a buttery streusel crumble that bakes into a golden, slightly crunchy topping. It’s simple, delicious, and makes the whole house smell incredible.

Serve it warm with a cup of coffee for the perfect afternoon treat, or enjoy it as a sweet addition to a weekend brunch spread. However you serve it, this apple coffee cake is bound to be a new family favourite.

Gluten Free Pop Tarts Filled with Raspberry

Gluten Free Pop Tarts

Homemade pop tarts are one of those recipes that instantly take you back to childhood—but these gluten free raspberry pop tarts are all grown up. Made with a tender, flaky gluten free pastry and filled with sweet-tart homemade raspberry jam (straight from my backyard raspberry bush!), they’re the perfect mix of nostalgic and made-from-scratch goodness.

What I love most about this recipe is how customizable it is. You can stick with classic raspberry, or swap in your favourite jam or fruit filling. The pastry bakes up golden and crisp, and if you want to go all out, you can drizzle them with a simple glaze and a sprinkle of sprinkles for that iconic pop tart finish. Whether you enjoy them warm from the oven or save them for a grab-and-go breakfast, these gluten free pop tarts are proof that homemade is always better.
