Gluten Free Baked Vanilla Sprinkle Doughnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a doughnut pan or muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Combine the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together with a fork until completely combined.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, add the almond milk, yogurt, and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Add in the olive oil and vanilla extract. Whisk again until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until they are fully combined and there are no dry spots. The batter will be thick and sticky. (If it is too dry add a bit more milk, if it is too wet add a more gluten-free flour.)
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the greased pan until they are filled 3/4 of the way.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. The doughnuts will be golden-brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack before frosting.
  7. Once the doughnuts are cooled, frost them with your favorite icing. We're partial to chocolate.

Best Blueberry Muffin Recipe Ever

I love blueberry muffins. My husband loves blueberry muffins. Our preschooler loves blueberry muffins. We make them nearly every Sunday morning and eat them through the week. To be honest, they are usually gone by Tuesday. J has figured out how to use frozen blueberries and keep them from exploding while baking. I consider this nothing short of genius.

Recipe Notes

If using frozen blueberries, do not defrost them! Keep them frozen and toss with flour to keep them from exploding in the oven or turning the batter blue.

Almond Torte Recipe

 Almond Torte Recipe
One of the best parts about holidays in my family is the abundance of once-a-year food. Everything from Passover brisket to a hazelnut chocolate loaf and bunny brioche bread make an appearance as we celebrate the spring holidays. This year my mom adapted a recipe for a new dessert and everyone agreed it's a keeper!

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. With vegetable-oil spray, lightly coat inside of a 10-in. pan (we used a pie pan). Sprinkle inside of dish with 1 tbsp. sugar, tilting and turning the dish to coat evenly. Discard any excess. Set dish aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with remaining 1/2 cup sugar for several minutes until pale yellow and thick. Gently stir in almond flour and almond extract. Set aside.
  4. In a large clean bowl, beat together egg whites and salt until firm peaks form. Stir 1/3 of the whites into yolk-almond mixture to combine thoroughly, then gently fold in remaining whites.
  5. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake until set and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes. L
  6. et cool 15 minutes, slice, and serve with raspberry sauce if desired.
Recipe Notes

My opinion:
This light and airy dessert is the perfect addition to an Easter brunch or a Passover meal. The raspberry sauce absorbs into the sponge-like texture and is just delicious. The sugar crust adds a touch of sweetness but isn't overwhelming.

Langlois Stuffed French toast

Finished stuffed french toast
This is another recipe J and I learned to make while at the amazing Langlois Culinary Crossroads. It is perfect for a new year’s day breakfast or brunch. While it looks complicated, it’s actually pretty easy. The hardest part os stuffing the brioche!

Instructions
  1. Cut the Brioche into about 6 2 by 2 rectangular pieces. Using a skewer precut the hole for the filling. You will have to turn it around to make a hole larger than the skewer. This is where slightly stale bread comes in handy.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon zest and juice together on medium speed until well blended.
  3. Put the filling into a ziptop bag. Cut off the corner. Pipe into the skewer holes.
  4. If this doesn't work, you can make a sandwich by making a pocket (think pita pocket), just make sure to only cut through one side of the bread or it will be more difficult to brown. Set this aside.
  5. In another medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Dip each piece of stuffed bread into the custard and turn once to completely coat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes (overnight is better!) but no longer than 24 hours.
  6. When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  7. In a large skillet melt the butter over medium to medium-high temperature.
  8. Brown each piece of stuffed bread on all sides. Do not move it around. Do not check and see if it's browning.
  9. Let it sit longer than you think it needs to. About 5 minutes per side.
  10. Place the browned pieces into a casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 10 minutes. Garnish as you please and serve.

My opinion:
Sometimes we cover this in powdered sugar, other times maple syrup. It’s just as good alone though. We’ve served this to friends and family and everyone has raved about it each time.
