Gluten Free Strawberry Muffins


One of our favorite things to do as a family is to go pick your own fruit. June in new York means strawberries. We always like to try different farms. It mixes it up a little bit.

This year we went to Ellsworth Farms in Sharon, CT. The strawberries were all picture perfect.


We picked a ton of strawberries and I love figuring out different ways to use them. This year I decided to make freezer jam and strawberry muffins.


Here is my recipe for gluten free strawberry muffins:


(Makes 12 Muffins)

1 3/4 cups of gluten free flour (I use Bobs Red Mill)
1 tsp xantham gum
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs (at room temp)
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh strawberries

-Preheat oven to 375
-Place paper liners in muffin tin
-Combine flour, xantham gum, sugar & baking soda in a bowl
-In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add in milk, butter & vanilla
-Mix Well
-Combine wet and dry ingredients
-Gently fold in strawberries
-Pour into prepared tin using ice scream scoop until almost full
-Bake for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean

Enjoy! You would never know they were gluten free! Promise!


*Note*
Whenever baking with gluten free flour, you need xantham gum. This can usually be found right near the gluten free flours. They sell big bags of it for about $10.00 but I usually buy the smaller packets. These cost only $.69 in my local ShopRite.

Craftiness & a Holiday Headstart

These are on their way to some friends for whom I am very grateful to have in my life. :) I got this as a gift from Sweet Mellie who was my Secret Santa last year but didn't have enough time to make it so I made it today. Isn't it CUTE!? I plan on filling the draws with little treats for the kiddos to enjoy each day leading up to and including Christmas Day. Should be FUN. I noticed that I put holly berries in the middle of my flowers instead of regular old brads but it's too late now. Them suckers are glue dotted on. :O I think I got my Christmas card photo!!!!!! What do you think?

Color of the Week - Orange

This year our annual pumpkin picking trip took us to Barton Orchards up in Pauquag. It's a bit of a drive but they make picking an event. Hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, farmer's market and even apples...tons of apples. We picked a couple of pumkins and a bag of apples. It was a gorgeous day. But I think the best part for the kiddos was this slide they built into a mountain. It was underground and pretty long. I was able to get some cool shots of them coming out of it. Neat, huh? A sea of pumpkins. How's that for an orange photo? Dylan and his pick. :) Natty and her pick. :)
