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.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. Line 1-2 cookie sheets with Parchment Paper or a baking pad. Set aside.
4. Using a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, combine the Brown Sugar and Softened Butter until light and fluffy.
5. Next, add the Vanilla and the Eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after adding each Egg.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the GF Flour, Salt and Baking Soda until well-blended.
7. Slowly add the Flour mixture to the Butter mixture, one cup at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
8. Next, add the Oats (and Chopped Nuts, if using), one cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix until all Oats are blended (be sure to check the very bottom of the bowl for any dry oats).
9. Using a cookie scoop or spoon of your desired size (I used a 2″ cookie scoop), drop cookie dough balls onto prepared cookie sheets several inches apart (they spread!)
10. Bake for 12-14 minutes (longer if you want crispy cookies).
11. Cool on the cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
12. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk or a bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream 🙂
    

1. Thoroughly coat all sides and bottom of the loaf pan with shortening and then a dusting of GF Flour. Set aside.
2. In a small microwave-proof bowl, melt the butter-substitute and set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer, with the Paddle attachment and set on Low, combine the GF Flour, Sugar, Salt and Yeast until completely blended.
4. In another microwave-proof bowl (or 2-cup glass measuring cup with a pour spout), heat the Oat Milk for 45-60 seconds or until just slightly warm.
5. Pour the melted Butter-substitute into the luke-warm Oat Milk and gently stir.
6. With the mixer on Low, slowly add the Milk mixture to the GF Flour Mixture until completely combined.
7. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle attachment. Increase the speed to Medium-High and beat for 5 minutes.
8. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the bread dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Lightly spray the top with water and cover with plastic wrap (I spray one side of my plastic wrap with non-stick cooking spray, so it can be easily removed after the dough rises).
9. Place in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for about 1 – 1 1/2 hour (or more, depending on the current temperature) or until dough has risen slightly above the top of the pan.
10. Once the dough is ready to bake, place one oven rack in the lowest position and the other rack in the middle position of your oven. Next, place an oven-proof dish (I use a glass loaf pan) with about 1 Cup of water on the lower rack set off to one side, so as not to block the heat.
11. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
12. Remove plastic covering from the bread loaf, sprinkle the top with the GF Whole Oats and bake for 35-40 minutes. Bread is done when it starts to pull away from the sides of the loaf pan and it makes a hollow thud sound when you gently thump it. Note: If the bread starts to get too dark on the top, cover loosely with foil (I start checking at the 15 minute mark).
13. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove bread from the pan and continue cooling on a wire rack.
14. Enjoy with a buttery spread and honey or fresh jam/preserves…or slice to use for your favorite sandwiches 🙂

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. Spray two 8″ x 4″ loaf pans with the non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle all sides and bottom of each pan with about 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar. Set aside.

The Flour Mixture:

1. In a large bowl, combine the GF Flour, 1 Cup Granulated Sugar, Light Brown Sugar, Baking Powder, Spices and Lemon Zest. Mix thoroughly and form a well in the center. Set aside.

The Zucchini Mixture:

1. Using a food processor or handheld grater, shred the Zucchini and place on paper towels in a large bowl to absorb the water.
2. In another large bowl, mix the milk, oil, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Add the shredded zucchini and mix well.

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.
3. Cool in their pans for about 10 minutes.
4. Transfer loaves to wire cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing.
5. Enjoy!
   

Directions for Making the Powdered Sugar Coating:

5. Next, add the Egg, Vanilla, Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice to the Butter-Sugar mixture, blending well.
6. Add the Flour Mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, to the dough, mixing on the Low setting until just combined.
7. Using a small cookie scoop (or spoon and rolling the dough into balls), scoop out the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, placing them 2″ apart. Using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass, slightly flatten each cookie to form disks.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven. I bake mine for 14-15 minutes, because I prefer these cookies to be slightly crunchy, like the original Sunshine recipe.
9. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes.
10. Carefully toss 3-4 cookies at a time in the powdered sugar mixture, coating each cookie well.
11. Place the powdered cookies on a cooling rack to continue cooling.
12. Enjoy!
    

Making the GF Pie Crusts:

1. NOTE: This recipe makes 2 pie crusts. You can refrigerate any unused & uncooked dough for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months, well wrapped. To thaw the dough, move it to the refrigerator overnight, then let dough warm a little for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Gather the ingredients for the pie crusts.
3. In a food processor, pulse together the GF Flour Blend and Salt until well combined.
4. Next, add the Cold Butter pieces to the food processor and pulse until the butter is in large chunks.
5. Add the Beaten Egg and Vinegar to the Butter/Flour mixture and pulse until just combined.
6. Slowly add the Ice-cold Water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, to the dough mixture while pulsing. Note: depending on the humidity, you may not need all of the water. Pulse until the dough comes together.
7. Divide the dough in half (I weigh mine) and wrap each half in plastic wrap, flattening the dough into discs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Making the Strawberry Filling (while the Pie Dough is chilling):

1. Gather the ingredients for the filling.
2. Place one of your oven racks in the center position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cut-up Strawberries, Sugar, GF Flour, Vanilla Extract, Lemon Zest and Juice until the Strawberries are well coated. Set aside while you roll out the pie dough.
4. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and place one of the pie dough discs on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into an oval shape about 19″ x 11″ (thickness of dough should be about 1/4″).
5. Transfer the rolled-out dough and the Parchment Paper to a baking sheet and spoon the Strawberry filling onto the center of the dough. Spread the filling evenly out, leaving a 1-2″ border of dough.
6. Very gently fold the edges of the dough over the Strawberries, pinching together any folds in the dough.
   
7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Large Egg and 1 Tbsp of water. Brush this egg wash onto the folded edges of the dough.
8. Bake on the center rack for about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to evenly bake.
9. While the tart is baking, warm the Preserves (or Jam/Jelly/Marmalade) with a splash of water (to help the Preserves spread).
10. Once the crust is a golden brown, remove the Tart from the oven and gently brush the Strawberry filling with the warmed Preserves. Cool completely.
    

Making the Whipped Cream:

1. Using a Stand Mixer, fitted with the Whisk attachment, whisk the Heavy Whipping Cream, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract on Medium-High until soft peaks have formed.
2. Serve the cooled Tart with a large dollop of freshly made Whipped Cream and watch it disappear!
   

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Using a blender or food processor, dump all of the ingredients into the blender/food processor and puree until smooth.
3. Pour dressing into desired container and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers. Enjoy 🙂

Making the Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Very lightly grease the sides of the 9″ x 13″ baking pan. Set aside.
3. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, combine the Softened Butter, GF Flour and Powdered Sugar until thoroughly blended.
4. Press this mixture into the prepared baking pan to evenly cover the bottom.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool a little while you prepare the Lemon topping mixture.

Making the Lemon Topping/Mixture:

1. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Whisk attachment, beat the Eggs until light.
2. Gradually add the Granulated Sugar to the Eggs and beat until thoroughly blended.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the Egg-Sugar mixture and mix thoroughly, until completely smooth.
4. Pour over the baked Crust.
5. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until set (no longer jiggling). Note: if the top starts to get too dark, cover pan with foil.
6. Let cool and then sprinkle with Powdered Sugar. Enjoy!
7. Enjoy!

1. Thoroughly coat the bread pan/pans with shortening and then a dusting of GF Flour, being sure to bang the pan to get rid of any extra flour. Set aside.
2. In a small microwave-proof bowl, melt the butter and set aside.
3. Using a stand mixer, combine (on Low) the GF Flour Blend, Sugar, Salt and Yeast until completely mixed (about 1 minute).
4. In another microwave-proof bowl, heat the milk for 45-60 seconds or until just slightly warm.
   Note: I use a 2-Cup Glass measuring cup with a pour spout to make it easier to add to the flour mixture.
5. Pour the melted butter into the luke-warm milk.
6. Turn the mixer on to Low and slowly pour the Milk/Butter mixture into the Flour blend until completely combined.
7. Scrape down the sides of bowl and increase the speed to Medium-High and beat for 5 minutes.
8. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the bread dough into the prepared bread pan and spread dough out evenly.
9. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot to rise for about 1 1/2 – 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
   Note: I place my breads on top of our cable box since it is nice and warm 🙂
10. Once the bread dough is ready to bake, place one oven rack in the lowest position and the other rack in the middle position of your oven. Next, place an oven-proof baking pan/dish on the bottom rack (off to one side, so it isn’t directly underneath where the bread will be baking – you don’t want to block heat to the bread above it); add about 1 cup of water to the pan (this is for producing steam for the baking bread).
11. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
12. Remove plastic covering from bread loaf and bake for 35-40 minutes. Bread is done with it starts pulling away from the sides and it makes a hollow thud sound when you thump it lightly.
    Note: if bread starts to get too dark on the top, cover with foil – start checking at about 15 minutes.
13. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack while still in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove bread from pan and continue cooling on the wire rack.
    
14. Enjoy with butter and honey or fresh strawberry jam or with your favorite sandwich fixings 🙂
