Pina Colada Almond Flour Muffins

Inspired by our trip to Maui, Geoff and I decided to try to make something that would bring together some tropical island flavours.

On top of all that, the almond flour base makes them hearty and the applesauce keeps them moist for days.

gluten free pumpkin tarts

The other day I found this fabulous recipe for cupcakes on fantasy author S. J. Wolff’s blog,  Wolff’s Realm. I converted it and the result was awesome – they disappeared before I could even get a photo! So yesterday I made them again, added a ginger cookie and coconut crust, and didn’t tell anyone until I had a picture to post! The ginger and coconut combined beautifully with the pumpkin, added a bit of texture, and the tarts also came out of the pan easier – although the crust does add a few calories.
