Learning to bake gluten free

One of my biggest concerns about being diagnosed as a celiac was baking. I love to bake. My grandmother harbored the love of baking in me since I was little. I couldn't imagine a life of not baking. When I first did some research I heard all of these different flours that people using when baking GF and honestly I was intimidated! How am I supposed to know which flour to use? I thought that I would never enjoy baking again. I was devastated especially since I had plans to open up my own shop at the farmers market selling cupcakes. But then I found an all purpose gluten free flour and figured that would be a good place for me to start!

My first two projects were to be chocolate chip pumpkin muffins and apple cider doughnuts. Just because I am now gluten free, I do not want to take away some of our family traditions! So I was determined to make it work.



I was really happy with how they turned out and completely thrilled that I can still bake, have tasty treats and my son thinks they're amazing!

I promise to post recipes soon. I want to try and lower the calories on both of these first!
