{Copycat} Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffins: Gluten Free as Always!

June 21, 2016 1 Comment

Oh my gosh you guys how long has it been?? I’ve missed you!

Can I offer an apology with these awesome gluten free blueberry muffins that taste like the Betty Crocker mix? I can’t believe I recreated a box mix but dang I missed those muffins! My mom used to make them on Sunday mornings along with bacon.

Yes, I already have a GF blueberry muffin recipe on the site but my advice? Blackhole that recipe. Try these and you’ll never desire another blueberry muffin recipe ever again.

{COPYCAT} Gluten Free: Outback Bread!

The double B’s, Blogging & Baking, are now on the way back burner of my life. I do intend to keep the blog going and adding to it whenever I can. As long as it continues to support itself with income from ads covering my web hosting fees then it’ll remain for everyone to enjoy.

Every semester I’m learning how to better juggle and prioritize my time. I know there are amazing people out there who can work 40 hours a week, raise a family, and go to school full time – I can only look at them with awe right now but someday I hope I can do just as well. For now I’m working on the basics of school and family balance. As such I’ve cut the “extraneous” things so I can focus on the 2 most important. Which means when I bake I’m mostly baking tried & true recipes that are already on the blog. It means when I do create something new it might be two months before it’s blogged.

Kinda like these “new” gluten free rolls. They’re not really new to me – I created this recipe a bit over a year ago when I realized how magical coconut flour is in GF bread recipes. I know it’s expensive but thankfully a little bit goes a long way….
