Almond Flour Scones (Gluten Free)

gluten-free blueberry scones

These scones are made with almond flour, and frankly, maybe all scones should be—whether you need them to be gluten-free or not. They’re 100 percent delicious, featuring perfectly tender insides and golden exteriors that offer a light crunch along the edges. Jammy burst blueberries, lemon zest and a light sprinkle of raw sugar take them to the next level!

I didn’t come up with this idea myself. When I published my Blueberry Scones, which are made with whole wheat or all-purpose flour, I received several questions about how to make the recipe with almond flour.

Since almond flour has become my favorite flour over the past year or two, I had to figure it out. Despite being made entirely with almond flour, the scones don’t taste overtly of almond. They’re easy to make with simple, wholesome, lower carbohydrate ingredients, so they’re a win all around.

It took seven tries to get the recipe just right. Along the way, it became the topping for a Peach Cobbler. I’m delighted with this recipe and all the variations you’ll find below.

Palak Paneer

palak paneer

Palak paneer is my favorite dish to order at Indian restaurants, and I’m excited to offer my homemade version to you! Palak paneer features tender cubes of paneer cheese in a well-seasoned, silky, spinach gravy. Palak literally means spinach, and this vibrant green dish is fully loaded. It’s vegetarian comfort food at its finest.

Palak paneer hails from the Punjab region in Northern India. I hope to visit India someday, but until then, I’m basing my version on the various Indian restaurants I frequent. I wanted to learn how to make my own palak paneer with organic spinach when I was expecting our son, since spinach is unfortunately higher in pesticide residues by weight than any other type of produce.

I made this dish over and over (no less than six times, to be exact) to ensure that the recipe offers maximum flavor while being streamlined from start to finish. Now you can make palak paneer for dinner any time you crave it. This recipe is ready in about 45 minutes!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

These chocolate chip muffins are divine—they’re fluffy, tender and studded throughout with chocolate chips. They’re our three-year-old daughter’s current favorite muffin in my muffin repertoire, and I understand why! She loves dark chocolate as much as I do, so I can vouch that these muffins delight kids and adults alike.

These muffins follow the same formula as my other popular “healthy” muffin recipes, but you won’t guess it upon your first (or last) bite. They’re made with whole wheat flour if you wish, and they’re sweetened with honey instead of plain sugar, which makes them extra delicious. Greek yogurt offers a subtle sour cream-like tang that makes these taste like bakery-style muffins, while providing some extra protein.

If you’re a fan of my popular banana muffins or blueberry muffins, you must try this recipe!

Gluten-Free Pancakes

gluten-free pancakes recipe

Pancake lovers, this recipe is for you, whether you’re gluten-free or not! This easy recipe calls for one wholesome flour—oat flour—and basic ingredients like Greek yogurt, maple syrup, butter and eggs. (If you don’t have oat flour on hand, you can easily make your own by blending old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats in a food processor or blender.)

These golden pancakes are fluffy and delicious, with a subtle oatmeal flavor. The yogurt offers a light tang similar to buttermilk, along with some extra protein, and the maple syrup is more flavorful than plain sugar.

You could certainly say that these pancakes are healthier than your average stack of pancakes, especially when you choose wholesome toppings to go along with them. Above all, though, they’re a fun treat to serve on the weekends, and they reheat beautifully for quick weekday breakfasts.
