I'm so excited about this next recipe! I nailed it on my first attempt and was really pleasantly surprised with the results! The puffs turned out big, golden brown, almost flaky, and very similar to the gluten-infested version! These puffs are very simple (with no sugar added) and make a great base for whatever you choose to fill them with! Whenever I think of making Cream Puffs I always have to snicker to myself. When my sister and I were a lot younger I was trying to teach her how to make these. The only problem was she isn't much of a direction follower -so all of the ingredients ended up in the saucepan at the same time (which made a big yucky blob instead of the correct recipe.) I helped her, taught her how you need to add ingredients at specific times in order for the recipe to turn out, and then I let her try it again. Then, she did the same exact thing again! All the ingredients ended up in the pan in a big yucky blob! We had to just laugh and I decided to start teaching her to cook with 1 step recipes instead. This gluten-free version is no exception to following the directions! Be sure to read the directions on when each ingredient is to be added before attempting. ;) You'll get better results.

PS...I'm still on the search for a really good strawberry shortcake recipe. The only problem, I'm not really sure I have ever tried the gluten-infested version! All the shortcake recipes I have tried are dense and blah. These cream puffs make a great replacement. I filled mine with strawberries and my Coconut Whip Cream. You can use this same recipe to make gluten free eclairs as well! Simply spoon the dough into a decorating bag with a round 1/2 inch tip (or place into a ziplock back and cut a 1/2 inch slit in the corner) and pipe 6 strips of dough that measure 4 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 3/4 inch high. Bake, cool, and split just like you would a cream puff then fill with whip cream or pudding. Then cover with a chocolate glaze. I haven't mastered these cream puffs dairy free as of yet but I'll keep working on it! If you do, be sure to share with us!

Have you ever felt guilty eating too many mini-muffins?! I usually start thinking "Man, how many of these darn things have I've eaten already...I should stop!" But with these muffins, it was the first time I didn't hear that little voice! I kept hearing, "Whew! These are so good for you! Have another!" Ha ha. I secretly LOVE this next recipe! Well, it's not quite the secret anymore I guess. ;) They are so packed full of health, it's great! The best part, my little 2 year old ADORED them! I even used them as bribery for her to finish all of her brussels sprouts at dinner! (Which I had to snicker to myself because she would still be getting her veggies as she devoured these babies...ha!) These muffins could work great in the morning as a quick on-the-go breakfast or even as a after school delight! Enjoy!
