The BEST Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

By

Carrot cake is my all-time FAVORITE kind of cake! And a few weeks ago I realized – I’ve made healthy carrot cake cookies, gluten-free carrot cake muffins, and even carrot cake baked oats but I’ve never made an actual carrot CAKE before. I know, I was shocked too. So I found the time and started recipe testing!

I knew my carrot cake had to be a few things – one bowl, gluten-free, and easy to make. I also really wanted to keep this gluten-free cake recipe to taste as close to the real thing as possible. I wasn’t willing to compromise on taste or texture, so after a few (failed) tests I finally did it! The BEST EVER gluten-free (and can be made dairy-free) carrot cake, made in one bowl, and oh-SO delicious.

Sam’s Recipe Tips

Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs

Make it Dairy-Free: Use non-dairy cream cheese, butter, and milk alternatives in both the cake and frosting.​

Vegan Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use all dairy-free substitutes.

Make it Nut-Free: Omit the walnuts and ensure all other ingredients are free from cross-contamination.​

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 9 servings

Equipment

  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 9×9-inch baking pan
  • 1 hand or stand mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil I used olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk I used non-dairy almond milk
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
  • 1/2 cups walnuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins optional

For the cinnamon cream cheese frosting:

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (I used non-dairy cream cheese)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (I used non-dairy butter)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk I used non-dairy almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar or brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add in the gluten-free all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk everything together into a smooth batter. Then, add in the shredded carrots and chopped walnuts, and use a spatula to fold those ingredients into the batter.

  • Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted down the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool inside the baking pan for 15 minutes then carefully remove the cake from the pan by sliding a sharp knife around the outside edge of the cake. Transfer the cake to a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely before frosting.
  • Once the cake is cool, make the cinnamon cream cheese frosting by adding all frosting ingredients to a large bowl and beating with either a hand or stand mixer until fully combined. Start by using just 3 tablespoons of milk in the frosting, then add an additional tablespoon of milk if the frosting is too thick.
  • Spread the frosting into an even layer over the top of the cooled carrot cake. Either serve cake immediately or cover and store in the fridge for up to 1 week!

Best Ever Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes

By
close up image of a gluten-free vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

We all need a solid vanilla cupcake recipe in our back pocket when the occasion arises. For me, this occasion my son’s upcoming 2nd birthday party (time flies!). But for you, this could be a birthday party, baby shower, holiday party, or a simple Tuesday night when you’re craving something sweet.

Now you might be wondering, what makes these gluten-free cupcakes the best ever?? Well, for one very simple reason. They taste identical to their non gluten-free counterparts. Meaning, those with celiac disease or a gluten allergy/intolerance can enjoy these perfect vanilla cupcakes with everyone else. So no one will feel left out or dissatisfied!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Pantry Staples: This recipe’s ingredients are all items you may have right on hand in your pantry which will make this a super easy vanilla cupcake recipe to put together!
  • Classic Vanilla Cupcake Taste: This gluten-free cupcake tastes exactly like a classic vanilla cupcake so no need to worry about anyone missing out on this sweet treat!
  • Versatile and Customizable: Feel free to use dairy-free milk and dairy-free butter for these cupcakes! You can also use egg replacement to make these vegan! If taking this option, I recommend the Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks and Elmhurst Almond Milk. You can also add any cupcake toppings like sprinkles, cupcake jams or toppers to make them special for any birthday or holiday event!

What You’ll Need

All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour: I swear by the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour for all my gluten-free baking needs. It does a perfect job at keeping your bakes together, and mimicking the taste and texture of regular all purpose flour. Though you can definitely use whatever brand of all purpose gluten-free flour you prefer! I’ve also tried King Arthur and Nature’s Promise gluten-free flour blends, and they work great as well. Make sure your gluten-free flour contains xanthan gum. If not, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.

Butter: I used non-dairy butter, but any butter will work in this recipe. Salted or unsalted butter won’t make much of a difference either, so use whichever you have on-hand! Just remember to bring it to room temperature first, so that it’s soft.

Sugar: White sugar or cane sugar both work well in these gluten-free vanilla cupcakes. You can try using either coconut sugar or maple sugar in its place for a slightly healthier recipe, though I haven’t had the chance to test these options myself yet.

Eggs: These eggs will be the binder that holds the batter together for these cupcakes. Make sure that they’re room temperature. Room-temperature eggs are important because they’ll ensure that your cupcakes rise and have a nice fluffy texture!

Vanilla Extract: this will add the perfect balance of sweetness and warm vanilla flavor these vanilla cupcakes need.

Milk: Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk if you’d like! The milk will also help to make sure your cupcakes have a nice fluffy texture!

How to Make The Best Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes

  1. Prepare your dry and wet ingredients: Whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with either a hand or stand mixer until fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  2. Bake Your Cupcakes: Once you’ve slowly combined your wet and dry ingredients into a batter, fill your cupcake liners and bake cupcakes for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  3. Frost Your Cupcakes: Make the frosting by adding all of the frosting ingredients to a large bowl and beating with either a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Once they’ve cooled, decorate with frosting and sprinkles if you’d like!
  4. Pack & Store: Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Top Tips

  • Beat the butter and sugar together really well in the third step of this recipe. The goal is to introduce as much air to the mixture as possible. This will result in a lighter and fluffier gluten-free vanilla cupcakes!
  • Use an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop to fill your cupcake molds. This simple trick makes filling your vanilla cupcake tin much quicker and easier. This also guarantees even-sized cupcakes that will bake at the exact same rate!
  • Sub the vanilla frosting for a cream cheese frosting instead! To do this, replace the butter with 1/4 cup butter plus 1/2 cup softened cream cheese. Whip all ingredients together just as you would the vanilla frosting, then spread over your cooled gluten-free vanilla cupcakes.

Adjust This Recipe To Your Dietary Needs

Make it Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free butter and non-dairy milk to make these gluten-free and dairy-free vanilla cupcakes! If taking this option, I recommend the Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks and Elmhurst Almond Milk.

Make it Vegan: For vegan vanilla cupcakes, follow the same modifications as you would for the dairy-free version above. Then, use your favorite vegan egg replacement in place of the eggs – I recommend this one from Bob’s Red Mill.

Healthy (& vegan!) Caramel Brulée Latte

By
healthy caramel brulée latte in a mug with a spoon on the side.

A healthier take on the classic caramel brulée latte! Made with non-dairy milk and sweetened with coconut sugar, this warming latte rivals Starbucks’ version. Super easy to make in the comfort of your own home, with a handful of ingredients you likely already have on-hand.

two mugs of caramel brulée latte with milk on the side.

What You’ll Need to Make This Healthy Caramel Brulée Latte

Butter – I used Miyoko’s vegan butter to keep this latte recipe vegan-friendly! It melts beautifully into the caramel sauce, giving it that smooth, buttery flavor. However, you can certainly use regular butter if you’d like!

Coconut Sugar – This natural sweetener is unrefined and lower on the glycemic index (meaning less of a spike in blood sugar). It also has a slightly deeper flavor, which only adds to the flavor of our caramel sauce! Though if you don’t have any coconut sugar, feel free to use regular sugar or even brown sugar instead.

Milk – I used non-dairy cashew milk in my healthy caramel brulée latte, and it was perfectly creamy and delicious! But really any milk will work, so go ahead and use whatever you have at home.

Espresso – Either one shot of espresso, or 1/4 cup of strong coffee will do the trick. Or, if you’re like me and can’t get enough caffeine in your life, make it a double and add an extra shot of espresso!

Tips and Tricks

  • Keep a close eye on your caramel sauce while it cooks! The sugar can burn quickly, and needs to be stirred frequently. So I recommend tending to it the entire 5 minutes it cooks – trust me, it’ll be worth it!
  • For a salted caramel brulée latte, top yours off with a tiny pinch of flaky salt! I go crazy for a good salty/sweet combo, and that little pinch of salt goes a long way.
  • Turn this recipe into an iced latte by serving it over ice! To do this, I recommend letting your hot caramel milk come to room temperature first, as well as your espresso.

Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs

Make it Vegan: That’s easy – just use all the vegan swaps I outlined above!

Make it Decaf: For a caffeine-free version, use your favorite decaf espresso or decaf coffee in your latte.

Gluten-Free Cornbread with Honey Butter

By
gluten-free cornbread with milk on the side.

This light and fluffy gluten-free cornbread is perfectly sweet and surprisingly simple to make! With just a few easy swaps, you’ll have a gluten-free and dairy-free version of a comforting classic. Slather some dairy-free honey butter on a slice of this gluten-free cornbread for a delicious snack or side dish!

overhead image of gluten-free cornbread with honey butter on the side.

One Mother’s Day I wrote my Mom a card that read “Happy Mother’s Day! I like your cornbread.” And that my friends, is a true story. My Mom always made the BEST cornbread. Not too sweet, perfectly crumbly, and always served with her own homemade honey butter. I’d dream about that stuff and request it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any chance I got.

While I wrote that Mother’s Day card many years ago, I’m still a huge fan of my Mom’s cornbread. Though her version has all of your “standard” ingredients – all purpose flour, milk, regular butter, etc. So when I set out to develop a gluten-free and dairy-free version of my Mom’s cornbread, I have to be honest, I didn’t have high hopes. But oh boy was I pleasantly surprised with how this recipe turned out! Nearly identical to the cornbread I grew up on, this gluten-free and dairy-free recipe does NOT disappoint. I was able to easily swap the all purpose flour for naturally gluten-free (and grain-free) flours, and the dairy for non-dairy counterparts. And if that hasn’t sold you on this cornbread – I was developed this recipe using just ONE BOWL. That’s right – easy baking and easy cleanup!

What You Need To Make Gluten-Free Cornbread with Honey Butter

Cornmeal – Made from ground corn, this coarse “flour”is the star of this recipe! Though be sure to use cornMEAL and not corn starch or corn flour, which are simply not the same. And if you’re gluten-intolerant, be sure to use a cornmeal that reads “gluten-free” somewhere on the label. While cornmeal is naturally gluten-free, some brands may still contain traces of gluten.

Almond Flour – Not to be confused with almond meal, almond flour is a light, fluffy, and naturally gluten-free flour. Almond flour works in conjunction with tapioca flour to replace the all purpose flour in my Mom’s famous cornbread recipe. I’m not able to fully understand or explain the science of how these gluten-free flours work, but just trust me when I tell you, they WORK. Almond Flour and tapioca flour create a gluten-free cornbread that tastes just like any other cornbread!

Non-Dairy Butter – I use and love Earth Balance Vegan Buttery sticks in my dairy-free honey butter. However, feel free to use your favorite non-dairy butter in this recipe! And if you’re not dairy-free, feel free to use regular butter instead.

Adjust This Recipe To Your Diet

  • Make it Vegan: Replace the egg with a flax egg and use maple syrup instead of honey to make this recipe vegan!
  • Add Dairy: Use regular milk instead of non-dairy milk, melted butter instead of coconut oil, and regular butter in the honey butter if you’re not dairy-free.
  • Make it Refined Sugar-Free: SURPRISE – this recipe is already refined sugar-free!

Gluten-Free S’mores Bars

By
a s'mores bar being pulled apart.

These s’mores bars are something else! A buttery graham cracker base followed by a lush layer of chocolate is topped off with toasty marshmallows. These s’mores bars will blow you away with how delicious and addictive they are – all while gluten-free!

gluten-free s'mores bars stacked on top of each other.

What You Need To Make S’mores Bars

Oat Flour – You can either purchase oat flour from the store or easily make it yourself at home. To make oat flour, start by adding 1 and 1/2 cups of rolled oats to a blender or food processor. Then, blend the oats for a few seconds or until ground into a powder. Once ground, you now have oat flour to use in this gluten-free recipe!

Chocolate Chips – Any chocolate chips or even a chopped chocolate bar will work in these s’mores bars. I used the Enjoy Life Mini Chips since they are vegan and nut-free, though you can use any vegan chocolate you’d like. And if you’re not vegan, feel free to use whatever chocolate you have on-hand! (P.S. you should always have chocolate on-hand.)

Marshmallows – I prefer mini marshmallows for simply how cute and satisfying they look all lined up on top of these s’mores bars. However, the standard size marshmallows will work just fine. The key to perfectly toasty and golden brown marshmallows is sticking them under the broiler for about 1 minute. It’s super important you keep an eye on the bars during this final trip in the oven, as the broiler has a tendency to burn things in literal seconds. Therefore, watch your vegan marshmallow-y treats and pull them out once they’ve achieved your desired level of toasty-ness!

Adjust This Recipe To Your Diet

Don’t Have Oat Flour? If you don’t have oats and/or oat flour, you can replace it with an equal amount of either brown rice flour or all purpose flour in this recipe.

Add Dairy: Use regular melted butter in place of the vegan butter in this recipe.

Tips For Making S’mores Bars

  • Be sure to leave the bars to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes after you take them out of the oven! These s’mores bars are surprisingly delicate, so leaving them to cool will ensure they stick together when handled.
  • Use a greased knife to quickly and easily slice the bars. To do this, take a sharp knife and either spray it with spray cooking oil or drizzle it with some coconut oil. Once greased, cut into the bars and wipe down the knife between each slice!
  • I highly recommend storing this vegan and gluten-free dessert in the fridge or freezer during the summer months. Due to the butter and chocolate, they are at risk of melting if left to sit out in too high of a temperate. Therefore, to avoid that risk, it’s best to just keep these babies in the fridge to enjoy them at your leisure!
