If you love sweets but like to find healthy alternatives, this recipe is for you!! Darrell found this recipe and while he can’t eat them because of his nut allergy, he knew how much I wanted brownies so he made these for me! The taste and consistency of these date and walnut brownies remind me so much of a Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie, minus the tiny candy topping. I was shocked!
Read MorePUMPKIN PIE!!! Holiday season = pie season. It’s as simple as that! I just couldn’t hold out until Thanksgiving and had to whip up a pie yesterday!! The ultimate holiday duo, Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin and Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk, make this pie fool proof! I used Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie recipe, and swapped out normal pie crust for a gluten free crust from Trader Joe’s to make this favorite dessert gluten-free and food-allergy friendly for our household! And it’s just as good as the “real thing” in my opinion!!

Read MoreWhile the beginning of the school year tends to signal the kickoff of “fall” we’re technically only a little past the halfway point in summer (I googled it, apparently halfway was 8/5 lol). Luckily this means lots more time for summer sweet treats! Today, I’m rounding up the summer desserts I’ve enjoyed making thus far - including one of the most popular posts on The Amateur Apron, my delicious gluten free recipe for a classic ice cream treat!
Read MoreAnother summer treat! This time, I wanted to give smores bars a try with gluten free graham crackers and my favorite gluten free flour! I added a little twist to the recipe which resulted in fluffier bars than expected but we’ll get to that. Check out my recap of this recipe modification.
Read MoreAnyone else a sucker for basically anything in a graham cracker crust?? 🙋♀️ Baking a gluten free key lime pie is one of the activities on my unofficial summer bucket list and this week I finally checked it off! I took a shortcut though, when I came across this gluten free pre-made graham cracker pie crust at the grocery!
Read MoreI keep an ongoing list of sweet treats I’d like to make or try as a gluten free version and apple fritters have been on that list for a long, long time! This weekend I gave them a try with a recipe I found on Pinterest. I like to keep it real on here and to be real with you, I messed up and they didn’t turn out as great as I’d hope.
Read MoreOne of my favorite summer treats prior to going gluten free was the classic Drumstick ice cream cone! Ice cream, chocolate, the crunch… the perfect treat for a summer afternoon! Recently I decided I wanted to try to make a gluten free version at home after finding Joy Gluten Free Sugar Cones in KY. It took a few tries but I perfected it this afternoon! Check out the recipe!
Read MoreYesterday was Darrell’s birthday! I wanted to bake Darrell an extra special birthday cake since I know how much he loves this dessert. I had never baked a cake from scratch before and a couple weeks ago I decided his birthday would be the time I give it a try! It was so much fun and it turned out SOOO GOOOOD!!! Like I’m shocked to say this homemade gluten free cake beat even the fancy bakery gluten free cakes I’ve had before!
