Gluten Free Chocolate Madelines

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!

Gluten Free Fruit Cake

Gluten Free Fruit Cake

This Gluten Free Fruit Cake came to life because my husband requested it. Above all, it turned out so good that it’s now going to be a yearly tradition in our house. It’s everything you want in a holiday fruit cake: moist, tender, and filled with warm spices and chewy bits of fruit that taste better with every bite.

To give the dried fruit the best flavour and texture, I soak it in rum (just be sure to choose a gluten free one). The fruit becomes plump, juicy, and beautifully fragrant. But if you prefer a non-alcoholic option, you can absolutely soak the fruit in apple juice or a spiced, cooled tea like chai, both work wonderfully and add their own warmth to the cake.

The result is a rich, festive loaf that feels nostalgic, homemade, and far from the dry, dense fruit cakes of the past. Whether you’re gifting it, serving it at a holiday gathering, or enjoying a slice with coffee, this gluten free fruit cake is pure Christmas comfort.
