Believe it or not, Monkey Bread was one of the first desserts I learned how to make when I was younger. I was in junior high home ec class and let me tell ya, any child's interest peaks when there's sugar involved! The version she taught us is far from this one however. She used prepackaged biscuits and gluten-infested ingredients. Her recipe worked great for an early learner but I have since adapted it so we can still enjoy it today! The greatest compliment I think I've had is my own father-in-law who wont even touch desserts, ate 2 of these the other night. ;) (It helped that I made them gluten free and dairy free for him.)

This past weekend we went to Yogurtland for dessert! It's one of the few places that has gluten free, dairy free ice cream! Audrey was IN HEAVEN! And even though she IS gluten and dairy free she knows exactly what ice cream is. Why? Because we make our own at home! It's INCREDIBLY easy (and so much cheaper than buying!) but you do need an ice cream maker. Costco had one on sale the other day for $17! We bought ours for around $20. It has already paid for itself! If you have not tried coconut ice cream before, it's amazing. The coconut milk makes it SO creamy and so the end result is a consistency very similar to a dairy-base ice cream. This recipe is very easy to throw together and then it only took about 20 minutes in the ice cream maker!

Oh was that mean of me or what to make you wait almost a week for this recipe?! These babies are so AMAZING. I have been trying to not make them every day but as soon as I make a batch they seem to disappear. Not only do they taste amazing but they're super cute too! I've seen some gluten free cinnamon rolls that don't even look appetizing! The bonus on these ones...they're pull-aparts! You don't even have to mess with rolling them out! (Which lets be frank, gluten free dough does not have the same consistency to be rolled out. It's just too sticky.) (Before we begin I must say: though you don't have to have one for this recipe, a 1 inch cookie scoop comes super in handy.)

Directions:
3. Using a 1 inch cookie scooper, scoop a mound into your cinnamon and sugar. Coat the dough and place into muffin tin. Repeat two more times so you should have a total of three cinnamon & sugar coated mounds in 1 tin. Repeat until the entire dough is used. 4. Pour 1/2 tsp of the melted butter over the top of each muffin section. (This gives an excellent taste and helps prevent sticking.) 5. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with olive oil and place on top of the rolls. Let rise about 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 F. 6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until light brown. Meanwhile make your frosting. (These are really good without frosting too though!) Frosting Ingredients:

Inside shot! Can you believe the air pockets? These cinnamon rolls are so light and fluffy. Try them & let me know what you think! So I have some bad news and some AMAZING news... K, bad news first. Now that our recipes are built up (we have over 130+ now on our website!) I will now only be posting recipes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sad I know! But you'll be able to reap the benefits soon...that's right! Fun surprises to come from donteatwheat! But that's actually not the amazing news... Maybe some of you saw it on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Donteatwheat) but I invented a yummy Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll this past weekend!! Hooray! They are seriously make-you-wanna-cry good. I'm posting them this week so stay tuned! ;) This next recipe came from necessity. My sister-in-law left town and, before she left, she brought over all these cherries. You can only eat so many until you need a good way to mass eat them...ha ha. I seriously haven't had cherries for so long! When I was a little kid my grandpa used to sell them from the trees in his backyard. He had so many of them! We even had this contest to see who could pump high on his swing set and eat cherries right off of the tree. Proud to say I accomplished it once. Man, we would eat them by the handfuls. Now a days, it seems like if I have to buy cherries they're overpriced and not as good as the ones he grew. K, enough being nostalgic. This next recipe is SOOO yummy. I use FRESH cherries instead of a can and you CAN tell a difference! Plus, it's guaranteed gluten free and I didn't have to hunt the aisles looking for a gluten free cherry pie filling. Enjoy!

Wew. That title is a mouthful... I wasn't sure what else to call these though! They are such yummy little treats BUT you actually can feel good about eating them. The only flour I used was brown rice and I threw in a little secret ingredient. Want to know what it is?! I'll give you a clue... It's over running my garden... That's right! Zucchini! But just look at those pictures. You can't even see the Zucchini, even if you dissected the suckers and LOOKED HARD for it! So, when those picky eaters want a treat, make these babies, sit back, and snicker to yourself on how they are, in fact, eating their vegetables. ;) Gluten Free Healthy Chocolate Cake-Brownie Bites(Gluten Free, Can be Dairy Free) Adapted by jalene from a recipe by Shanna B.

I think it's about time for another dessert, don't you? Apple crisp is seriously one of my favorites! I know it's a little out of season but hot apple crisp with cold ice cream is a year round craving for me. I've played around with this recipe a bit and found that oat flour works really well for the topping. You can also try rice flour or your own gluten free flour mix if you have one. I think you're going to love it! Don't want this dessert with ice cream? Try my coconut whip cream!
