Gluten Free Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins

There’s nothing quite like baking with fresh fruit you’ve picked yourself, and these gluten free raspberry white chocolate muffins are my favourite way to use up the raspberries growing in my backyard. Every summer, my raspberry bush gives me more berries than I know what to do with—and while snacking on them straight from the garden is always a treat, I love folding them into these bakery-style muffins. The juicy, tart raspberries pair beautifully with sweet, creamy white chocolate, making every bite taste like something special.

These muffins are soft, fluffy, and perfectly golden on top, just like the ones you’d find at a coffee shop—but they’re made gluten free so everyone can enjoy them. They’re wonderful fresh from the oven, but they also freeze well, so you can bake a batch and stash some away for later. Whether you’re looking for a grab-and-go breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a sweet addition to a summer brunch spread, these raspberry white chocolate muffins are a delicious way to make the most of raspberry season.

A fluffy, cloud-like cake with a tender crumb and a beautiful presentation that’s perfect for any occasion.

This gluten-free bundt angel food cake is surprisingly simple to make, using just a few wholesome ingredients to achieve that iconic lift and softness.

Gluten Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Gluten Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake

If there’s one thing I never get tired of baking, it’s a classic coffee cake, but this version takes it to the next level. My gluten free cinnamon coffee cake has everything you love: a tender, fluffy crumb, bold cinnamon flavour, and that buttery crumble topping we all secretly wish there was more of.

What makes this recipe extra special is the way it’s layered. That being said, I don’t just sprinkle a little cinnamon on top—I layer it right into the cake. First, start with the batter, then a generous layer of cinnamon sugar. Secondly, after that add more batter, and then a thick layer of buttery crumble. As a result, every bite is perfectly balanced with cinnamon spice and a soft, moist texture that no one will believe is gluten free.

In fact, it’s the kind of bake that makes your kitchen smell amazing and tastes even better with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Whether it’s for weekend brunch, a cozy afternoon break, or a sweet breakfast treat, this coffee cake always disappears fast!

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.

Gluten Free Blueberry Lemon Cake

There’s something about the combination of lemon and blueberry that just tastes like sunshine. This gluten free lemon blueberry cake is one of those recipes I find myself coming back to every spring and summer. It’s light, tender, and packed with juicy blueberries, with a bright lemony flavour that balances the sweetness perfectly. Whether you’re baking for a brunch, a birthday, or just because you have berries to use up, this cake always feels like the right choice.

Best part? It’s made with a gluten free flour blend you likely already have in your pantry, and no fancy techniques required. After baking, you stack the cakes and then mix any leftover blueberry jam—berries and all—right into the icing. It gives the frosting a naturally sweet, fruity flavour and creates a beautiful, rustic finish. You can keep it casual with a dusting of powdered sugar or let the swirls of blueberry-streaked icing steal the show—either way, it’s a bake that’s sure to impress.

Gluten Free Apple Galette

There’s something special about a galette—rustic, simple, and effortlessly beautiful. This gluten-free apple galette is one of my favourite ways to showcase fresh apples. It has all the charm of apple pie without the fuss of a lattice top or crimped edges. Just roll out your dough, pile on the apples, and fold the edges over. Easy, approachable, and always a crowd-pleaser.

The filling is lightly spiced and sweetened to let the apples shine, while the crust is flaky, buttery, and gluten-free (of course!). Whether you’re baking in peak apple season or just craving something cozy, this galette hits all the right notes.

Gluten Free Potato Bacon Soup

Yes, I know it’s June—but this is Alberta, and we literally had a frost advisory last night! So naturally, I reached for comfort in a bowl and made my go-to gluten-free potato bacon soup. I usually save this one for fall or winter, but honestly, who says you can’t enjoy cozy food year-round? When the weather turns chilly (even in June), this soup totally hits the spot.

This hearty gluten-free potato bacon soup is pure comfort food—loaded with tender chunks of potato, crispy bacon, and a rich, creamy base. Just before serving, I pile on the toppings: more bacon, shredded cheese, and a generous dollop of sour cream. It’s like a loaded baked potato in soup form, and every spoonful is satisfying and cozy.
