1. Set oven rack in the middle position; Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter and flour Bundt pan (you can also use a 9 x 5 – inch loaf pan); set aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the GF Flour, Xanthan Gum, Baking Soda & Powder and Spices; set aside.
4. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the Butter until light & fluffy; add the Granulated Sugar and blend until thoroughly mixed and fluffy.
5. Add the Eggs, one at a time, blending well after adding each Egg; scrape sides of bowl often; whip until the mixture is very light & fluffy.
6. Next, add the Canned Pumpkin and mix until blended.
7. Add the Dry Ingredient mixture and Orange Juice in 3-4 segments, mixing and scraping bowl and paddle well between each addition.

8. Scrape the batter into the prepared Bundt Pan; place in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 45 minutes (check the cake around the 30-35 minute mark to make sure it isn't browning too much – if it is, cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil); test doneness after 45 minutes with a toothpick and pressing lightly on the top to see if it springs back; bake an additional 15-30 minutes, depending on your oven (my cake was ready after 45 minutes).

9. Once cake is done, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for approximately 10-15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
10. While the cake is cooling, thoroughly whisk the Powdered Sugar and Orange Juice together in a small bowl until desired consistency is reached; spoon the Glaze over slightly warm or completely cooled cake.
11. Serve with or without Vanilla Ice Cream and Enjoy! 🙂
    

Making the Scone Dough:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking pad; set aside.
2. Pour the 1 Cup of Heavy Cream in a freezer-proof container and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
3. Next, melt the butter in a microwave-proof container (I do this in 30 second increments until butter is fully melted); set aside to cool a little while you prepare the rest of the dough.
4. In a Large mixing bowl, whisk the GF Flour, Baking Powder and Soda, Sugar, Lemon Zest and Salt until thoroughly mixed.
5. Once the Heavy Cream has been in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, combine it with the melted Butter and stir with a fork until clumps appear (looks kind of like curdled milk).
6. Pour this Cream/Butter mix into the Flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until ingredients are well-combined.
7. Gently fold the halved-raspberries into the Scone dough until the berries are evenly distributed.
8. Dump the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form/pat it into a circle (about 12″-14″ in diameter); place in refrigerator for 15-45 minutes.
   
9. Meanwhile, place oven rack in the middle position of your oven and Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
10. Once the dough has been refrigerated for at least 15 minutes, remove from the freezer and cut into 6 or 8 “pie pieces” (triangles) – this works best with a really sharp knife that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking oil; separate and place the triangles evenly on the sheet, leaving at least 2″ between each one.
    
11. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes (remember, all ovens heat and cook at different rates, so keep an eye on your scones) or until they are golden brown around the edges.
12. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before icing.
    

Making the Lemon Glaze:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the Powdered Sugar, Half & Half and Lemon Juice; whisk until smooth and pourable (add more Powdered Sugar for a thicker consistency or add more Half & Half for a thinner consistency).
2. Enjoy!
   

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Line 1-2 baking sheets with Parchment Paper or baking mats; set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer, fitted with the Paddle Attachment, cream the Softened Butter, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla on the Medium setting (#4) for about 5 minutes, scraping down the inside of the bowl as needed; the mixture should be light in color and whipped.
4. Next, lower the speed of the Mixer to the lowest setting and gradually add the GF Flour, 1/2 cup at a time; Dough will be soft and smooth.
5. Place a large Star tip into a piping bag (or large plastic resealable bag) and transfer the dough to the piping bag.
6. Pipe the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets in Rosette or Circle designs/shapes. The dough does not spread very much, if at all, so you can pipe a lot of cookies per sheet – I usually pipe 20 – 2″ cookies per sheet.
7. Sprinkle each cookie with sprinkles/colored sugar, if desired.
8. Next, place the cookie sheets into the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to chill the dough – this helps them maintain their shape while cooking.
9. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
10. Once the cookies are finished chilling, bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn a light, golden brown.
11. Cool the cookies for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
12. Enjoy with a hot cup of cocoa, tea or coffee…or a glass of cold milk 😉

1. Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish; set aside

Making the Dough:

1. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, combine the GF Flour, Xanthan Gum (only if needed), Nonfat Dry Milk, Yeast, Cream of Tartar, Baking Soda, Brown Sugar and Salt; mix until completely blended.
2. Next, slowly add the Vinegar, Butter and Egg; mix until thoroughly blended.
3. Lastly, with the Mixer set on Low, add the Warm Water gradually in a slow, steady stream…let it trickle down the inside of the bowl until all of the Water has been added.
4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then turn the Mixer up to Med-High and let mix for 3 minutes; dough should be moist and starting to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
5. Gently scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured working surface; lightly flour the top with more flour and gently knead until smooth.
6. Divide the dough in half and place half under a towel or plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
7. Lightly flour the working half of the dough and roll into a rectangle, about 9″ x 12″ and 1/2″ thick, with a rolling pin (add flour as needed to prevent sticking).

Adding the Filling:

1. Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, spread 1/2 of the softened butter onto the dough, leaving a 1″ border around the edges.
2. Next, sprinkle 1/2 of the Brown Sugar on top of the butter and gently pat it down with your fingers; sprinkle 1/2 of the Cinnamon onto the Brown Sugar.
3. Starting on one of the short sides of the dough, roll tightly into a coil/tube and gently pinch the end of the roll with the body of the roll to seal together.
4. Using a very sharp knife, slice the dough roll into 2″ wide sections (I know this seems quite large, but you’re going to press them down) and place them into the prepared Baking Dish, about 1″ apart; gently press each roll down by about 1/3.
   
5. Repeat these steps with the remaining half of the dough and filling.
6. Cover the Baking Dish with lightly oiled plastic wrap (I use non-stick cooking spray) and place in a warm, draft-free place to rise for about 1 hour; the dough should double in size.

Baking the Rolls:

1. Once the dough has almost finished rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Remove the plastic wrap and bake on the center rack for about 23-27 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked in the middle.
3. Let cool to room temperature before adding the glaze.

Making the Glaze:

1. While the rolls are cooling, combine the Powdered Sugar, Milk and Cinnamon in a small bowl, mixing until smooth; add additional Milk, a little at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency (the glaze should be thick, but able to be drizzled)
2. Enjoy!!!

Making the Cookie Dough:

1. Gather all the ingredients needed for the cookies.
2. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, combine the Butter, Salt, Maple Sugar and Maple Extract; beat until creamy and smooth.
3. Add the Powdered Sugar to the Butter mixture and mix on the lowest setting, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until well-blended and smooth.
4. In a small bowl, measure out the 1 1/2 Cups Flour using the “spoon and scrape” method (using a spoon, scoop out the GF Flour into a Dry Measuring Cup, overfilling the cup; then scrape off the excess flour back into the flour bag/container using the back edge of a knife); gently pour the measured GF Flour into the small bowl.
5. Add the Xanthan Gum (if your GF Flour mix doesn’t contain it) to the GF Flour in the small bowl and mix well.
6. With the mixer set on the lowest setting, gradually add the GF Flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, to the Butter mixture; mix well and scrape sides of bowl as need between each addition of the Flour.
   Note: the cookie dough will be crumbly, but should hold together when squeezed into a ball; if the dough does not hold together, add 1/2-1 more Tablespoon of softened unsalted butter.
7. Form the cookie dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap; Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
8. While the dough is in the refrigerator, line 1-2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats; set aside.
9. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
10. After 30 minutes, remove cookie dough from refrigerator and cut in half for a more manageable portion of dough to roll out.
    Note: if the dough is refrigerated for more than 30 minutes, set it out on your kitchen counter for about 15-20 minutes to soften up a little before trying to roll it out.
11. Once the dough is ready, roll it out onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4″ thickness.
12. Using the desired cookie cutter/cutters, cut dough into shapes and place onto the prepared cookie sheet/sheets.
13. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cookies are a light golden brown; cool on baking sheets. Enjoy as single Maple Shortbread Cookies or fill with the Maple Buttercream filling (recipe below).
    

The Maple Buttercream Filling:

1. If making sandwich cookies, gather the ingredients for the Maple Buttercream Filling.
2. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, combine all of the Filling ingredients, being sure to gradually add the Powdered Sugar, 1/2 cup at a time; adjust the Milk or Powdered Sugar as needed for the desired consistency (you want the filling to be thick and creamy).
   
3. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you are ready to fill :).
4. Using a small knife or the back of a spoon, spread the desired amount of filling onto the backside of one of the cookies; then gently press another cookie on top of the filling and scrape any excess filling from the sides of the cookies with the knife or spoon.
   
5. Serve with your a hot cup of tea or coffee and sit back and enjoy 🙂
   

Making the Cookies:

1. Line cookie sheet/sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. In a Large mixing bowl, sift together the GF Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt and Spices; Mix well; Set aside.
4. In another Large mixing bowl, combine the Sugars, Oil, Pumpkin, Eggs and Vanilla Extract until completely blended.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, one cup at a time, to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or dish cloth and let rest for 30 minutes. This allows the GF Flour to absorb the moisture from the wet ingredients which reduces (hopefully, eliminates!) the grainy texture.
7. When ready to bake the cookies, place oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Using a Small cookie scoop (or medium, if you want larger cookies) scoop out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
9. Spray the back of a spoon with non-stick cooking spray and use the spoon to flatten the cookie mounds (re-apply spray as often as needed).
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
11. Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting:

1. While the cookies are baking and cooling start making the frosting…
2. Using a Handheld or Stand Mixer, beat the softened Butter, Cream Cheese and Vanilla Extract until well-blended.
3. Gradually add the Powdered Sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until completely blended and creamy.
4. Add the Ground Cinnamon and Mix thoroughly.
5. You’re ready to frost the cookies and enjoy!

Making the Cupcakes:

2. Line 1-2 muffin tins with cupcake liners; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the GF Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt and Cinnamon until completely blended; Set aside.
4. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the Butter and Sugars until light and fluffy.
5. Next, with the mixer set on low, add the Vanilla Extract and the Eggs, one at a time; Continue mixing until thoroughly blended.
6. With the mixer still set on Low, alternate adding the GF Flour mixture (1/2 cup at a time) and the Apple Cider (a couple of Tablespoons at a time) to the Butter-Sugar mixture, blending until just combined after each addition.
7. Scoop the Cupcake Batter into the lined muffin tin/tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for approximately 17-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting:

1. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened Cream Cheese and Butter until light and fluffy.
2. Slowly add the Vanilla Extract and Apple Cider, blending thoroughly.
3. Next, with the mixer set on low, add the Powdered Sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well between each addition. I usually add between 3 1/2 to 4 cups of Powdered Sugar for the right consistency. Note: If you’re adding Ground Cinnamon into the Frosting, do so now (I usually add several pinches).
4. Spread or pipe the Frosting onto each cooled cupcake and top with a little Ground Cinnamon, if desired.
   
5. Enjoy!
   

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a 9″ x 13″ baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer or Handheld mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, blend the Melted Butter and Cocoa Powder until smooth.
4. Next, add the GF Flour and Granulated Sugar, mixing until blended…scraping the sides as needed.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, until just blended.
6. Slowly mix in the Vanilla Extract, blending until just combined. The batter will be thick.
7. Evenly spread the Brownie batter into the prepared Baking Dish.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes while preparing the Chocolate Frosting. Note: You want the Brownies to still be warm when you apply the Frosting.

Making the Chocolate Frosting:

1. Using a Stand Mixer or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, combine the Softened Butter, Milk and Cocoa until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the Powdered Sugar, 1/2 Cup at a time, starting on Low each time to avoid a HUGE powdery mess 😉
3. Once all of the Powdered Sugar has been added, beat on Medium to Medium-High speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy.
4. Spread evenly over the top of the Brownies and let cool completely (I know it’s hard to do!!!) before slicing. Note: I remove the entire Brownie using the foil to lift it…and then I slice them 🙂
   
5. Serve by themselves, with a glass of cold milk or your choice of Ice Cream! Enjoy!!!
   

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Making the Batter:

1. Add the Zucchini Mixture to the center of the Flour Mixture.
2. Mix well using a fork to start with to help break up the Zucchini. Then switch to a large spoon to ensure that you get all of the ingredients off of the bottom. (Note: if you’re adding nuts, do so at this step).

Baking the Bread:

1. Divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans. If desired, you may sprinkle the tops with additional granulated sugar.
2. Bake on the center rack for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
