    Gluten-Free French Toast

    Three slices of French toast on a plate. The toast is topped with butter, syrup, and powdered sugar.

    Did you buy milk, eggs, and gluten-free bread before the storm? Great! You can make French Toast!

    Gluten-Free Muffin Recipes

    Muffins are quick and easy! This makes them a perfect thing to bake between shoveling snow.

    Gluten-Free Banana Muffins.

    A basket of gluten-free banana muffins.

    This easy banana muffin recipe lets you make a batch of muffins however you love them. 

    Add chocolate chips. Or chopped nuts. Or…both!

    Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins.

    Frozen blueberries work great in gluten-free blueberry muffins. Add a little zest for a taste of summer on a cold day.

    Gluten-Free Corn Muffins.

    Gluten-free corn muffins cooling on a rack.

    Are corn muffins and cornbread the same thing? There’s no right answer to this. For me, corn muffins are a little sweeter and cakier than cornbread. And, truth be told, I love them both.

    Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins.

    Gluten-free pumpkin muffins on a cooling rack.

    Since this is the third pumpkin recipe on the list, you know by now I love pumpkin. These muffins are a gluten-free dream: soft, tender, and not heavy at all!

    Gluten-Free Sour Cream Muffins.

    Gluten-free sour cream muffins topped with powdered sugar. One is split to show texture.

    One of my favorite muffins is a sour cream muffin. Is it as popular as banana muffins or blueberry muffins? Not at all! But it’s my mission to get as many people as I can to make this recipe. You’re rewarded with delicate muffins with a slight tang of sour cream. If you have powdered sugar in the house, dust a little over the top. So good!

    Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread.

    Stack of toasted cinnamon raisin bread slices. Melted butter on top slice.

    Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread.

    Slices of gluten-free pumpkin bread in a stack.

    A thick slice of pumpkin bread and cup of hot coffee is a great snack after a morning or afternoon of shoveling. It’s also a great snack for a day of sitting on the couch. Or working from home. Or anything, really.
