Double Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins {gluten free, dairy free, nut free}

Double raspberry chocolate chip muffins are gluten, dairy and nut free treats packed with fresh raspberries.Double Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins - Gluten Free Dairy Free Nut Free || Homemade Dutch Apple PieWhen fall arrives everyone is thinking about apples, pears and pumpkins. But don’t forget the end of summer/early fall fruit that reappears – raspberries!  Yes, they come back.

This year we were able to go raspberry picking and enjoy a few raspberry treats with our last few days of warm weather.

I made raspberry ice cream, raspberry yogurt and raspberry pancake topping. Those are all great! But my favorite was the double raspberry chocolate chip muffins.

These muffins have the perfect amount of moisture from the raspberries and an extra hint of sweetness from the chocolate chips. You’ll never know they are gluten and dairy free.

Raspberry muffins make an easy breakfast. They also pair well with any kind of soup for a simple, nourishing lunch or dinner. So make a big batch, stash some in the freezer and you’re ready to go.

My kids devoured these muffins. My daughter even ate two with her meal!  Even though one recipe makes 18 muffins, none of them made it to our freezer. I should have made a double batch.

Take advantage of this late summer fruit and enjoy a special breakfast treat. Your whole family will love double raspberry chocolate chip muffins.

Gluten Free Cheese Biscuits

Cheesy, flaky and gluten free. These gluten free cheese biscuits are the perfect compliment to any soup or salad.

Gluten Free Cheese Biscuits || Homemade Dutch Apple Pie Whenever I make soup (which is quite often) I serve some kind of sweet bread with it. I just love salty and sweet together. So we eat lots of muffins, sweet breads, etc.

Recently I wanted something different. I went with savory for a change. I made cheese biscuits.

Cheese biscuits are very easy to make.  They bake up nicely with a slightly crispy crust and a soft inside.

You can serve cheese biscuits with your favorite soup, have them for breakfast or enjoy them as a snack any time of day.

These biscuits are gluten, egg and nut free. You can use any variety of cheese you like and add any seasoning. Some herbs would really boost the flavor.

As school starts and you are trying to get easy meals on the table, a crockpot full of soup with cheese biscuits on the side is perfect.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Blueberry Scones

Gluten Free Dairy Free Blueberry Scones || Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

If you haven’t noticed yet, I love scones! They are like a cross between a muffin and a cookie.

Scones are great for breakfast, brunch, a snack or even dessert. I enjoy serving them with soup. A sweet scone is a great contrast to salty soup.  Plus it helps fill you up and get a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat in your meal.

The nice thing about these blueberry scones is that they are gluten, dairy and nut free. They can also be made egg free.

My daughter raved about these scones. She said they are like blueberry cookies.

This is another great way to use up some of your fresh blueberries. Or you can make them in the winter with your frozen stash.

Don’t think you have time to make scones for breakfast? Prepare the dough the night before and chill it over night. In the morning simply put the scones in the oven. By the time you get yourself ready you’ll have fresh scones. You can even freeze the dough for later.

Another option is to bake the scones when you have time and then freeze them for later.  Scones from the freezer make an easy breakfast on a school morning.

Serve a batch of blueberry scones with scrambled eggs, bacon, soup or cheese (that’s what I usually do for breakfast). You really can’t go wrong.

Do you like scones? You’ll love these gluten and dairy free blueberry scones.

Blueberry Chocolate Bread Pudding (gluten free, dairy free)

Blueberry Chocolate Bread Pudding (gluten free, dairy free, nut free) || Homemade Dutch Apple PieI have been doing a lot of gluten free bread experimenting lately. So far I haven’t come up with a winning recipe. That leaves me with a lot of loaves of so-so gluten free bread.

That means one thing…bread pudding!! Since it’s blueberry season I made blueberry bread pudding.

I love bread pudding for so many reasons.  It’s very easy to make. It’s a great way to use up bread scraps or old bread. Plus it’s completely delicious!

Bread pudding makes a great breakfast or dessert. You can modify it to meet your allergen needs and your personal tastes.

This version combines gluten free bread with fresh blueberries and a few chocolate chips for a soft and sweet treat with a burst of flavor from the berries.

Any kind of milk will work for this recipe. I used oat milk since it’s what we have on hand. Coconut milk would add a great richness to the bread pudding.

Are you in need of something different for breakfast? Try blueberry chocolate bread pudding. The whole family will love it.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Zucchini Scones

Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Zucchini Scones || Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

 I am a sucker for scones. I just love them! They are great for breakfast, snacks or even dessert. I even serve them with soup quite often.

With zucchini abounding I decided to make zucchini scones.

My daughter does not always share my love of scones.  So she was not too excited when I told her what I was making.

With that in mind I changed my scone idea slightly and made chocolate zucchini scones. Everyone was very happy!

These scones are gluten, dairy, egg and nut free. They stay soft and moist. My daughter devoured hers. My son actually calls them brownies.  That’s how good they are.

If you have some extra zucchini try using it for scones. You’ll have a wonderful breakfast treat that is also filled with vegetables.

Chocolate zucchini scones freeze well. So make a big batch. Eat some now and save some for later.

Do you love scones? Even if you don’t you’ll love these.

Cherry Jam

Cherry Jam - Homemade Dutch Apple PieSweet cherries are abundant in the summer here in Michigan. We love to go picking and then freeze a ton to use all year long (we got almost forty pounds this year!).

We also use a lot of them fresh. Sweet cherries are great for making desserts and smoothies.

But another way to enjoy them is in jam. Nothing beats fresh cherry jam!

This jam recipe is very easy to make. Plus it’s free of pectin. You can make a big batch and freeze most of it to use throughout the year.

One recipe makes about four 1/2-pint jars. You can easily double the recipe so you have a lot to freeze.

Not sure you love cherries as much as I do? Swap some of the cherries for another fruit for a combination jam. Cherries and raspberries work very well together.

Cherries offer a perfect natural sweetness so you don’t need to add much to the jam.

Are you ready to start your day with a plate of scrambled eggs and toast with fresh cherry jam? I sure am! I think I could even eat the jam straight out of the jar. It’s that good.

Soaked Gluten Free Cereal

soaked gluten free cerealBreakfast takes on so many forms in my house. One day it might be soup. The next day it might be muffins and fruit. Another day it might be eggs and vegetables. It just depends what we have on hand and what we are in the mood for.

But when it is HOT and I don’t feel like baking or cooking it is so nice to be able to grab a bowl of cereal.  I’ve mentioned before why we don’t buy cereal. That doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a bowl as a special treat once in a while.

Not buying cereal doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the flavors you love. I’ve made gluten free “Golden Grahams,” gluten free peanut butter cocoa puffs, grain free granola, grain free muesli, whole wheat cocoa puffs, whole wheat “Golden Grahams,” homemade “Frosted Mini Wheats,” homemade oat squares and soaked granola.

This is another one of my solutions for the cereal dilemma. It is soaked and gluten free. It is great topped with fresh, raw milk.

It also makes a great granola substitute for people like me that don’t tolerate oats. Use it as is or mix nuts, dried fruit and/or coconut into the container of cereal. What a treat for a granola-lover like myself! I love mixing it into whole milk yogurt.

I recommend making a double or triple batch. I don’t think the single batch I made is going to last long. It’s just too good!

I made it with dairy, but this cereal can easily be made dairy free. It is naturally free of eggs, gluten, corn, soy and nuts.

What does your typical breakfast look like? If you’ve already ditched the cereal, now you can treat yourself to a bowl once in a while.

Blueberry or Cherry Yogurt

No need to buy flavored yogurt. Make your own! Blueberry or cherry yogurt are a cinch with just a few simple ingredients and none of the bad stuff.Blueberry Or Cherry Yogurt - Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

Yogurt is one of my favorite foods! But if you gave me a container of store-bought flavored yogurt I probably wouldn’t touch it.

Most yogurt contains artificial flavor and color in addition to fillers and chemical sweeteners. Regardless of the health status of most yogurts, I think they are just way too sweet. Anybody else?

My family’s palates have definitely changed when it comes to how sweet our food is. So I’ve been making yogurt at home for years. Sometimes I make it from our raw milk. When we don’t have enough milk to spare I just buy plain, whole milk yogurt and add our own flavor.

When flavoring your own yogurt the possibilities are endless!  I come up with all sorts of creations, depending on what we have in the house. It’s fun to have variety.

I like to make cookies ‘n’ cream yogurt when we have homemade cocoa puffs, oreos® or brownies on hand. I’ve even been known to make caramel apple, strawberry swirl, cherry pie and a few other crazy flavors.

But two of our favorites (and two of the easiest) are blueberry and cherry. Just a few simple ingredients and you have the best yogurt you’ve ever tasted. No overpowering sweetness. No artificial flavor. Just pure, simple ingredients.

With blueberries and cherries in season this yogurt makes the perfect breakfast or snack any time of day. When the fresh fruit isn’t in season any more you can still enjoy delicious yogurt using frozen fruit.

If the flavor and health benefits aren’t enough, making your own flavored yogurt from large containers of plain yogurt really saves money. A single serving yogurt is about $1.00. You can buy a tub of plain yogurt for about $2.00 and make six servings out of it. That is a huge savings.

I like to take five minutes in the evening to prepare individual yogurts. Then breakfast is ready when we get up in the morning. You can even take it on the go.

If you like fruit on the bottom yogurt you’ll love my versions of blueberry and cherry yogurt. Stir in some homemade granola for a complete breakfast treat. What is your favorite yogurt flavor?
