Gluten-free cream puffs are light, airy pastries made from pâte à choux, a classic French dough that magically steams into hollow shells as it bakes. Made with gluten-free flour, these puffs still deliver the same crisp exterior and tender, airy centre you’d expect from traditional cream puffs—perfect for filling with whipped cream, pastry cream, or your favourite festive fillings. They’re elegant yet surprisingly simple to make, making them a show-stopping addition to any holiday dessert tray.
Classic Canadian butter tarts made gluten free with a flaky crust and rich, gooey filling. A nostalgic, irresistible treat perfect for the holidays or any time of year.
These Gluten Free Madeleines are the perfect little treat when you want something elegant but incredibly simple to make. They’re soft, buttery, lightly sweet, and bake into that classic scalloped shell shape that feels instantly fancy — even though they come together with basic pantry ingredients.
To make them extra special, I dip the cooled madeleines in rich dark chocolate and finish them with a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts. The combination is absolutely dreamy: the tender sponge, the snap of the chocolate, and the nutty crunch on top. They look like something from a bakery window, but they’re surprisingly easy to whip up at home.
These gluten free madeleines are perfect for holiday gifting, serving with coffee, or adding to a dessert board. And trust me — once you start dipping them in chocolate, you’ll want to try all kinds of variations!

If you love lemon desserts, this Gluten Free Lemon Tart is going to be your new favourite. It’s bright, silky, and perfectly tangy, the kind of dessert that wakes up your taste buds in the best way. The filling is smooth and lemony with just the right balance of sweetness and citrus, all tucked inside a buttery gluten free tart crust that bakes up beautifully crisp.
I love this tart because it looks fancy and elegant, but it’s actually incredibly simple to make. No complicated steps, no special equipment, just whisk, bake, chill, and enjoy. It’s the perfect dessert for spring, summer, holidays, or honestly any time you’re craving a fresh, vibrant treat. Especially when Chris asks what I am going to bake next, and asks if I have posted a lemon tart on my blog yet…. It is that good!

If you grew up loving those packaged oatmeal cream pies, you’re going to fall head over heels for these Gluten Free Oatmeal Cream Sandwich Cookies. They’ve got everything you remember — soft, chewy oatmeal cookies with a rich, fluffy cream filling — only this time, they’re made from scratch and completely gluten free.
The cookies are lightly spiced with cinnamon and brown sugar, giving them that deep, cozy flavour we all love. And the cream filling? Sweet, buttery, and just the right amount of fluffy — the perfect contrast to the chewy cookies.
They’re nostalgic and comforting, but also feel a little more grown-up and homemade. Perfect for lunchboxes, coffee breaks, or just when you’re craving a little something sweet.
