Every now and again you taste a treat that is so good and so beautiful that you have to take a step back and take a bite out of it and say, “Sh*t that’s good!“
This is one of those recipes!
What You Need To Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Banana Donut Holes
Egg
Brown sugar
Cane ugar
Butter of choice
Greek yogurt
Vanilla extract
Bananas
Gluten free all purpose flour (I used the King Arthur brand)
Collagen peptides
Baking soda
Sea salt
Cinnamon
How To Make The Perfect Donut Hole
The key to these donut holes is using a mini muffin tin and not scooping too much batter into the tin.
I recommend only adding 1 Tbsp of dough in each mini muffin tin portion. Otherwise, your donut holes will be less like donut holes and more like a large cinnamon sugar baseball…but a tasty one at that!
To make the perfect cinnamon sugar coating don’t skimp on the butter! Coating the melted butter in the baked donut holes is key to making the cinnamon sugar mixture stick.
Mixing The Cinnamon Sugar Coating
I recommend adding about 1-2 Tbsp of cinnamon to the 3/4 cup of sugar in a small bowl. For more of a sugary-flavor and less of a cinnamon flavor I would recommend only adding 1 tbsp of cinnamon.
Fluffy and flavorful Gluten free cinnamon banana donut holes that are perfectly sweet! These can be made dairy free!
Ingredients
Scale
1 egg
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp cane sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt of choice)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large)
1 1/4 cup self rising flour (To make this for every 1 cup of flour add 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt)
1 scoop collagen
1/2 tsp baking soda
Cinnamon sugar coating
3/4 cup sugar
5 tbsp butter melted
2 TBSP cinnamon
Instructions
Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray and preheat the oven to 350.
In a large bowl combine the egg, melted butter, greek yogurt, mashed banana, collagen peptides, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cane sugar. Get out as many lumps as you can. A few will be in there from the banana and that is A ok!
Add the self-rising flour and baking soda in a separate medium-sized bowl and mix until combined.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until everything is combined.
Using a tablespoon, spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin.
Bake in the oven for 14-17 minutes.
While the donut holes are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping. Pour the melted butter into a small bowl and combine the cinnamon and sugar together in another small bowl.
Take out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Role the donut hole in the butter using a fork to coat it. Be sure to tap out the extra butter by scooping the donut hole with a fork and letting the excess butter drip over the melted butter bowl.
Then, coat the banana donut hole in the cinnamon sugar mixture and set aside.
Repeat until all of the banana donut holes are coated and enjoy!
Store these in a container for a max of 2 days! (if they last that long)
These gluten-free flourless peanut butter cookie cups are perfectly crisp and sure to please a crowd.
Can you ever beat peanut butter wrapped in chocolate and more peanut butter?
What You Need To Make These Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Creamy peanut butter (not natural, use something like Jif. A natural one likely won’t work
Light brown sugar
Granulated sugar
Egg
Sea salt
Baking soda
Vanilla extract
Reese’s minis
How To Make The Perfect Dough
Remember to freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes! By Freezing the dough it helps limit the spread of the cookie but also helps it form a more moldable dough to roll into balls.
Also, be sure to not use natural peanut butter. The natural oils in natural peanut butter will yield a different texture. I suggest using White Chocolate Wonderful by Pb & Co or something like JiF or Peter Pan.
Hershey’s Kiss Variations
As with any recipe you can substitute the chocolate as you see fit and also ditch the mini muffin tin if you wish.
If you swap out the muffin tin trade it in for a cookie sheet and add Hershey’s kisses to the center.
Simple and Yummy flourless peanut butter cookies that are wrapped in a chocolate and peanut butter Rees’s center. These are gluten free and made with less than 6 ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup creamy peanut butter (use Jif or any non-natural Pb)
½ cup light brown sugar + 3 tbsp for rolling cookies in
1/4 cup granular sugar
1 egg
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
24 mini Reese’s
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin tin baking sheet with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the mini Reese’s minis.
Store the bowl of dough in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Using a cookie scooper (mine was about 1.5 Tbsps of dough) drop the dough into the mini muffin tin. If you don’t want the cookies to have as much of an overflow than you may roll the dough into 1 tablespoon.
After rolling the dough into a ball roll it in a small bowl of the 3 Tbsps of sugar. Make sure the cookie is evenly coated.
Bake at 350°F for 13-15 minutes. The cookies should have little cracks in them and be slightly browned.
While the cookies are baking unwrap all of the mini Reese’s so they’re ready for when the cookies are done.
When the cookies are done in the oven press a toothpick into a cookie to check if there is any uncooked dough is present. If the toothpick comes out clean the cookies are ready!
Once the cookies are done baking quickly press a mini Reese’s on top. Allow cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the freezer for 2 weeks to a month. Just be sure to let them defrost before enjoying.
This high-protein granola is super simple and requires ingredients you probably have in your pantry. It’s quick, simple, and of course perfectly sweet (using only natural sweeteners).
This gluten-free granola is also dairy-free and can easily be made vegan with a few substitutions.
What You Need For Healthy High-Protein Gluten-free Granola
Your favorite natural nut-butter (yes- we’re talking the drippy stuff- other peanut butter like Jif may not work since it has added ingredients that alters it’s texture)
Vegan plant-based butter of choice (I used Earth Balance)
Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
Vanilla extract
Certified Gluten-Free rolled oats (I get mine from Trader Joe’s since they’re the cheapest)
Collagen peptides (omit for vegan)
Your Favorite Dairy-free (or vegan) Chocolate chips
Your favorite nuts (I used honey roasted peanuts)
Cinnamon
Sea Salt
How To Make That Perfect CRUNCH
Remember to flip! Both sides of the granola should be flipped half-way through. This makes the granola bake evenly, making both sides of the granola as crunchy as it can be!
Watch the oven! Granola can get burnt very easily if you take your eyes off of it or forget to flip it. Once you see the granola turn golden brown, give it a good flip!
Let the granola cool for at least 45 minutes. The granola hardens when it cools so this is a critical step!
A Note To Remember about Natural Granola
Since this is natural granola, it will not be as crunchy as the typical store brand that has sugar cane and other preservative ingredients.

High-protein Gluten-Free Granola made with simple ingredients. This go-to recipe can be made in a snap!
Ingredients
Scale
2 tbsp natural peanut butter (The drippy kind)
2 tbsp melted vegan butter of choice ( I used the Earth Balance brand)
Heaping 1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups Certified Gluten-Free rolled oats
2 scoops of collagen (2 scoops = 2 servings for the collagen peptides I used)
3/4 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. You can also use parchment paper.
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, except for the chocolate chips. Mix everything well so that the granola is evenly coated in the honey and that there are no dry areas.
Transfer the granola to the large baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer. A trick that works for me is hitting the baking sheet on the counter a few times. It makes the granola spread easier across the baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the granola halfway through. When the granola is done baking it should appear golden brown
Let the granola cool for at least 45 minutes.
Break the granola into clumps once cooled.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips into the granola.
Store in an air-tight container at room temp for about 1 week.

The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies have emerged in a small batch and quick simple recipe!
These cookies require only 1 type of flour (that’s right you don’t need 3 for this recipe!) and can be whipped up in less than an hour with prep and freeze time!
We’ve all been there, you have a craving for a few warm sweet and salty cookies, but lack the desire to make a whole batch. Recently, I’ve really been into baking more small-batch or single-serve desserts (like my Gallete for one). Something about the variety of a different treat every day has a certain appeal that tends to beat out normal batch-style recipes as of late.
What You Need To Make These Gluten Free Fudgy Brownies:
All Purpose Gluten free flour (I used King Arthur’s as Xanthan gum is already in it)
Baking soda
Butter (salted or unsalted, I used Earth Balance’s dairy free butter as that’s what I had on hand)
Light brown sugar
Cane sugar
Egg yolk
Butter
Your Favorite Chocolate bar (I used Lilly’s Salted Caramel Chocolate Bar)
Sea Salt
Vanilla extract
The Importance of freezing the dough
As with many Gluten-Free recipes, it is essential that you freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes. By freezing the dough it limits the spread of the cookie to the ideal-typical cookie size we all know.

The perfect sweet and salty small-batch gluten-free cookies!
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp All-purpose gluten-free flour (I used King Arthur’s)
1/4 tsp baking soda
Heaping 1/4 tsp of sea salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
2 Tbsps of cane sugar/granulated sugar
1 room-temperature egg yolk beaten
Heaping 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1/3 cup of your favorite chocolate bar cut into chunks ( I used this one by Lilly’s to add a hint of salted caramel flavor to the mix)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Once complete, set aside
Add the sugars and butter in a medium-sized bowl, and mix them until they are fully combined. This will take about 2-3 minutes to mix by hand.
Add the beaten egg yolk, vanilla extract and salt to the medium-sized bowl until the dough has been fully combined.
Add the remaining ingredients, except for the chocolate chunks into the mixing bowl and stir until combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and that no clumps of flour are present.
Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Store the cookie dough in the freezer for 30-35 minutes.
Take out of the freezer and let the cookies sit out for 5 minutes. Then, using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough room for the cookies to spread. you don’t need to flatten these cookies so the scooped form is ideal.
Bake for 12-14 minutes. If you prefer these cookies slightly under-baked I recommend the shorter end.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them to cool on the baking sheet for 6-7 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack for an additional 10 minutes and enjoy!
You can enjoy these cookies for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

How To Make These Fudgy-er!
The key to making these brownies decadent is using good chocolate and lots of it! I admit I prefer a bit less of a fudgy and fudgier is to add more chocolate chips to them. So, if you would like a fudgy-er brownie to add more chocolate chips to the mix! You should be able to add another 2-3 Tbsps of Chocolate chips to the mix without adding any other ingredients to the mix.
Of course, no brownie is complete without a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. I suggest pairing this with 1-2 brownies for an all-star dessert line up.
These Simple, Healthy, and oh so Fudgy oat flour brownies are easy to make and have the perfect ratio of sweetness to rich cocoa chocolatey flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 Cup Oat flour (if you don’t have this on hand just throw some oats in a blender)
1/3 Cup cocoa powder (1–2 Tbsps more if you like a richer chocolate taste)
3/4 Cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
1/2 Cup melted butter of choice + a bit extra ((not melted) for melting the chocolate))
2 Tbsps Peanut butter
3 Large eggs at room temperature
11/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup + 3 Tbsp chocolate chips (or add another 1/4 cup to the mix for an even fudgy-er texture!
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl mix together the oat flour and cocoa powder and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and a small chunk of butter (about 1-2 tsps). Microwave in increments of 30 seconds and give it a stir until the chocolate has no clumps in it. Watch it closely so it doesn’t burn!
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a spatula, pour the batter into the 8×8 pan. I recommend tapping the baking tin a few times to help even out the batter.
