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 Apple Pie

Gluten Free Apple Pie

There’s nothing more classic or comforting than a warm slice of apple pie. This Gluten Free Apple Pie has everything you’d hope for in the perfect pie: a flaky, golden crust, a caramely cinnamon-spiced filling, and plenty of tender apples tucked inside.

For me, apple desserts always feel like fall, and this pie is no exception. This pie is always requested to be served at Thanksgiving dinner. Every bite is a balance of buttery crust, sweet apples, and just the right amount of spice. I like to bake mine until the filling bubbles up around the edges and the whole kitchen smells like cinnamon. It’s the kind of dessert that you will want to bake in the morning, so the caramel filling can set when you cut into it after dinner.

Whether you’re making it for Thanksgiving, a special occasion, or just because you have extra apples to use up, this gluten free apple pie is as cozy as it gets.

These are easy to customize with different cookie flavours and ice cream combos. Whether you go classic with vanilla and chocolate chip, or get creative with fruity or dairy-free options, these gluten-free ice cream sandwiches are a guaranteed hit. Perfect for make-ahead desserts, BBQs, or simply keeping cool on a hot day.

Gluten Free Raspberry Frangipane Tart

Gluten Free Raspberry Frangipane Tart

Every summer, our backyard raspberry bush explodes with fresh berries—and I absolutely love finding ways to use them in my baking. There’s something so satisfying about picking sun-warmed raspberries straight off the vine and turning them into something beautiful and delicious. This gluten free raspberry frangipane tart is one of my favourite ways to let those berries shine.

The tart combines a crisp gluten free crust with a rich, almond-based frangipane filling and juicy raspberries nestled right on top. It’s elegant enough for a summer dinner party but simple enough to enjoy with a cup of coffee on the patio. The almond and raspberry pairing is classic and never goes out of style—and when the fruit comes from just steps outside your kitchen, it’s even more rewarding.
