MAKES 1 (10 BY 5-INCH) LOAF Beyond its delish flavor and moist texture, the best thing about this recipe by GFF Magazine editor Erika Lenkert is it seems to turn out well with a variety of gluten-free flour mixes. Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge and snack on them over a few days or slice, freeze, and wrap individual pieces for grab-and-go goodness. ½ cup (4 ounces/1 […]
MAKES 6 CAKES Some GF chocolate cakes are too dense and intense. Not true for these moist ‘n’ fluffy upside-down cupcakes dressed with chocolate ganache. Inspired by a recipe handed to our editor years ago by San Francisco Bay Area pastry chef Marika Doob, they’re the prettiest little desserts you’ll ever serve and the easiest ones you’ll ever make. Serve them with the crushed toffee garnish or with a cherry, white chocolate […]

MAKES 12 BISCUITS Thick-crusted, moist, and adapted from Shauna and Daniel Ahern’s latest book, Gluten- Free Girl American Classics Reinvented, these biscuits by Gluten-Free Girl are delicious on their own, but easily kicked over the top when slathered with butter or drenched in gravy. Expect the dough at first to be able to slowly dribble off a whisk and be thickly wet, like paint spackle; after it rises for 90 minutes […]
MAKES 12 MUFFINS If ever there was proof that gluten-free, dairy-free baked goods can be ridiculously moist and delicious, these muffins from Berkeley, California’s recently (and sadly) closed Bacano Bakery are it. You’ll need cupcake liners for this recipe, and if you don’t have overripe bananas, add an additional tablespoonful or so of brown sugar. Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to four days or freeze in […]
MAKES 26 COOKIES The fact that these cookies from New York’s By the Way Bakery are incredibly easy to make from everyday ingredients is not the reason we’re obsessed with them.

Make this vegetarian by omitting […]
MAKES 1 (8-INCH SQUARE) PAN OR 16 (2 BY 2-INCH) BARS At “Cupcake Awards”-winner Kyra Bussanich’s bakery and cafe, Kyra’s Bake Shop, these sweet ’n’ salty, egg-free addictions are made with rendered bacon drippings rather than butter. To make it extra smoky and dairy-free, you can do the same. Regardless, they’ll keep covered at room temperature for three days, a week in the fridge, or a month in an airtight […]
