The Ultimate Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffin Recipe

Discover the best gluten-free pumpkin muffin recipe here. It’s so moist and flavorful; you won’t believe it’s gluten-free. The key is pumpkin puree, creating a rich, moist texture. Get ready to enjoy the most delightful gluten-free pumpkin muffins baked right in your kitchen.

 

What you will need to make this recipe

Gluten Free flour- I used 1-1 cup Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flour Gluten Free Flour, if you don’t have any issue with regular flour feel free to use it in the same cup measurement.

I don’t suggest using almond flour or coconut flour as these flours have much density than gluten free flour and requires a different measurement.

Leavening agents- for a fluffy, and puffed muffins, you will need both baking powder and baking soda.

Spices- whether homemade or store-bought pumpkin pie spice, it packs a perfect fall flavor. The choice is yours, so if you only like cinnamon, use just that. Another suggestion is to use garam masala for a savorer and bolder flavor.

Pumpkin- you need canned pumpkin puree for these muffins, don’t use pumpkin pie filling which has other ingredients added to it that might affect the flavor of your muffins. So, double check the can label, it should contain 100% pumpkin. Organic Pumpkin Puree

Sugar- I like to use both sugars in this recipe, with dark or light brown sugar you will get molasses notes in each pumpkin muffin, which is sublime paired with the warmth of fall spices. Granulated Cane Sugar.

Butter- I love using butter instead of oil in all my baking. You can use vegetable oil, which adds plenty of moisture and richness to these muffins. You could also use coconut oil, which will add a hint of sweetness. 

Milk- a 1/4 cup of milk is not too much at all, so feel free to use any milk you have in the fridge. I used lactose free milk, but almond milk or water works as well.

Vanilla Extract- Using a good vanilla extract will make a difference in taste. I used this organic vanilla bean paste Vanilla Extract.

Step 1- In a small bowl whisk gluten free flour, spices that you have, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined and set aside.

Step 2- In a medium bowl whisk together butter, milk, eggs, vanilla, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Top in the pumpkin purée and whisk until all smooth.

Step 3- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix or your muffins will turn tough.

Step 4- Line a muffin pans with paper muffin liners or spray or butter your muffin tin if using non-stick version. Divide the batter equally, fill each one about three quarters of the way.

Bake at 425°F for the first 5 minutes, this will help the muffins puff up, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the muffin from the pan and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Pro Tips for making this Recipe

  • Use room temperature ingredients- Set your eggs and milk out on your counter at least 30 minutes to an hour before starting the baking journey. Cold ingredients will make your batter cold. Room temperature ingredients mix together better.
  • Weigh your flour- For a moist, tender pumpkin muffin, it’s better to measure your flour with a kitchen scale. If you don’t have a scale, make sure to fluff up the flour before spooning it into your measuring cup, then level it off with a knife.
  • Don’t over-mix your batter- gently stir the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients until combined and no visible flour clumps. Mixing your batter too much might result into a dry and dense muffin.
  • Pre-heat your oven- starting out with a scorching hot oven at 425° for the first 5 minutes will help them rise and give them that puff professional baked muffins look.
  • Use paper liners in the muffin tin- It will prevent your muffins from sticking catastrophically to the tin. Or if you have a non-stick muffin tin, simply spray it with butter spray.
  • Add chocolate chips on top- If you love chocolate chips either add some to your batter or simply sprinkle on top before popping it to the oven.
  • Add Streusel topping for some texture and crispness- for a crunchy and perfectly sweet finish, add the crisp streusel from my Gluten Free Blueberry muffin, or Gluten-Free Raspberry Muffins on the top of your muffins before popping it in the oven. Instead of using granulated sugar use brown sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace flour with Gluten-Free flour?

No, you can’t just replace gluten-free flour with regular flour in the same gram ratio, but you can measure 1 cup and a half which is equal to 180 to 200 grams.

Gluten-free flour is made from various gluten-free grains, seeds, and beans. Each one has a different protein, starch, and fiber content. Due to this, gluten-free flour does not have the same binding, rising, and texture properties as wheat flour.

In order to achieve the best results with gluten-free flour, you may have to adjust the amounts, add extra liquid or leavening agents, or combine different types. 

Is All Pumpkin Puree Gluten Free?

There needs to be more clarity about what’s gluten-free and what’s not. And when it comes to pumpkins, there are a lot of conflicting opinions.

So, is all pumpkin Puree gluten-free?

I would say yes. All pumpkin Puree is naturally gluten-free. However, depending on their ingredients, some pumpkin products may not be gluten-free.

For example, some brands of pumpkin puree may contain gluten, so it’s always important to check the label before you buy.

Does Baking Powder have Gluten in It?

Yes, baking powder does have gluten in it. It’s because baking powder is made from baking soda and cream of tartar, both of which contain gluten.

Can I Substitute oil for butter?

I love butter in all my baking goods! Vegetable oil is the best oil for muffins because it adds moisture and richness to the batter, and you don’t have to worry about warming up your muffin. You could swap it to coconut oil or olive oil, but both these oils have a strong flavor note that will come through your muffins. 

How can I Store or Freeze these Muffins?

Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the muffins for up to 3 months or refrigerate for one week. Place the muffins in a freezer-safe bag and squeeze out as much air as possible.

How can I find Gluten-Free Items?

Look for certified gluten-free baking ingredients to ensure that they are truly gluten-free. Many groceries store now have dedicated gluten-free sections, so check there first. Otherwise, you can find quality gluten-free products at health food stores or online retailers.

Is pumpkin puree the same as pumpkin pie filling?

The key to making these muffins perfect is to use canned pumpkin puree. It can be confusing since the puree and pie are stocked side by side in the grocery store, don’t use the pumpkin pie filling because it has other ingredients added to it that will affect the flavor of the muffins.

These muffins are also best if you use dark brown sugar, as it gives them a richer flavor.

What you will need to make this recipe

Perfecting Muffins with the Right Ingredients

Gluten Free Flour- The perfect gluten free flour blend I used is Bod Red’s Mill one to one cup gluten free flour. Gluten Free Flour Blend

Raspberries- Using fresh raspberries in my recipes is something I always aim for, emphasizing the importance of fresh ingredients to enhance flavors. 

Unsalted Butter- The secret behind the muffins’ great flavor and their soft, tender, and moist texture? Unsalted butter, especially when served warm. Although some might consider using vegetable oil to maintain moisture without needing to warm them up, the outcome will differ significantly from using butter.

For those looking to perfect their streusel topping, cold butter is essential for achieving the best results. Should you choose to use melted butter, take care to melt it well in advance. This precaution ensures it cools down sufficiently, avoiding any risk of prematurely cooking the eggs upon mixing.

Vanilla Extract- Adding vanilla extract into the mix elevates the aroma, making the whisking process a truly heavenly experience. I used Vanilla Bean Paste.

How to make Gluten Free Raspberry Muffins

Step 1- In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.

Step 2- In a separate medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients.

Step 3- Zest the orange into the wet ingredients and mix to combine.

Step 4- Fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.

Step 5- Fold in the raspberries. Avoid over mixing the raspberries as they might end up breaking in your mixture.

Step 6- Add the muffin batter to either a lined or buttered muffin tin, I used both.

Step 7- Make the streusel by cutting the butter into flour mixture with a pie blender or pastry blender cutter measuring at least 1.5mm, mix well until all incorporated.

Step 8- Top the muffins with the streusel and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and the toothpick is dry.

Pro Tips for Mastering This Recipe

  • If you are using frozen raspberries in place of fresh, there is no need to thaw them.
  • Accurate flour measurement is crucial; too much flour can result in dense muffins. Utilize a scale for precise measurements or fluff the flour with a spoon, then level it off with a knife.
  • If skipping paper liners, ensure thorough buttering and flouring of the muffin tin wells.
  • To Check if the muffins are ready, insert a knife or a toothpick into the center of one muffin, and if it comes out dry and clean, they have finished baking.
  •  To ensure the muffins are perfectly baked, simply insert a toothpick into the center of one; if it emerges clean without any batter residue, they’re good to go.
  • Opt for real vanilla extract for an authentic flavor kick.
  • When using frozen raspberries instead of fresh, there’s no need to thaw them beforehand.
  • These muffins toe the line between muffins and cupcakes, offering a tender, cake-like texture. For a cupcake twist, skip the streusel and consider topping them with my luscious Italian Buttercream flavored with a raspberry reduction for an exquisite treat.
  • Store in airtight container after cooling for up to 3 days if made with oil, if made with butter store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a savory, exquisite taste warm-up your muffin in an oven toaster for 10-15 minutes.
  • Allow your raspberry muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the tin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the berry?

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to put your own twist on these delectable muffins, go ahead and experiment with a variety of berries to suit your taste buds. Consider incorporating blueberries, blackberries, or even diced strawberries for a vibrant burst of flavor. For a more daring approach, why not divide the batter and introduce different berries to each half—creating a medley of berry goodness in every bite!

Can I change to a different gluten free flour brand?

The result might not be the same, as each gluten free flour brand have a different scale measurement and ingredients.

Can I use a different butter brand?

Feel free to use any unsalted butter brand, I personally like this brand because it’s creamier.

What does it mean to “cut in the butter”?

“Cutting in butter” entails blending cold butter into the dry ingredients to create a crumbly mixture with small butter pieces distributed throughout. Use a pastry blender, forks, or your fingers to achieve this texture, ensuring the butter remains distinct from the flour. Proper incorporation of butter ensures a perfect streusel topping that holds its shape during baking.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, these muffins can be stored in the freezer, by freezing them on a tray until fully frozen, then transfer them to a freezer bag, or simply store them in a 13×9 Pyrex container. Press the air out from the freezer bag and store for up to two months. When you are ready to enjoy them, just thaw them overnight in the fridge and warm up in the microwave or oven toaster.

Freezing Instructions for Future Enjoyment

When it comes to extending the lifespan of these delightful treats, freezing is your best friend. Follow these simple steps to freeze your raspberry (or berry of choice) muffins for later indulgence:

    1. Freeze on a Tray: Place the muffins on a tray in a single layer and pop them into the freezer until they are completely frozen.
    2. Storage in Freezer Bag: Once frozen solid, transfer the muffins into a freezer bag. Squeeze out any excess air before sealing the bag tightly.
    3. Storage Duration: Your frozen muffins can be safely stored for up to two months without compromising their taste and quality.
    4. Thawing and Reheating: When the craving strikes, remove the desired number of muffins from the freezer and thaw them overnight in the refrigerator. To enjoy them warm, simply reheat in the microwave or defrost gently using the microwave.

With these freezing tips at your disposal, you can always have a stash of your favorite berry-infused muffins ready to brighten up your day whenever the mood strikes!

Notes

  • My favorite Gluten Free flour to use is Bob’s Red Mill one to one cup baking flour.
    To keep that bright, buttery and fluffy color, I used but if you prefer to use brown sugar, it will change the color of your muffin.
    I used in this recipe lactose free milk, but you can substitute with dairy milk, almond milk or coconut milk.
    Preferably room temperature eggs, it helps with the texture of your muffin and creates a moist center.
    Fresh or frozen, I prefer using fresh raspberries.
    I am not using this baking soda because I want my muffins to look nice and light.
    Use melted butter for added moistness and flavor but you can substitute with olive oil or any other oil of your choice, or you can do 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup butter.
    Adding orange zest and juice to your raspberry muffins adds a bright, citrusy flavor that complements the sweetness of the raspberries perfectly.

This cake embodies the essence of spring and summer, exuding beauty and refreshment in every slice.

From its light texture to its beautiful presentation, you won’t be able to resist indulging in this one-of-a-kind creation.

Get ready to impress everyone at your next party with this amazing Gluten Free Strawberry Lemonade Cake!

Key Ingredients 

Strawberries- opt for the ripest, deepest red strawberries you can find, as their sweetness is paramount to the cake’s flavor profile. Remember, strawberries don’t ripen after being picked, so choose wisely for the best taste experience.

Lemon- the essence of lemonade in your cake! Freshly squeezed lemon juice is crucial for its unparalleled zest and vibrant flavor, which bottled juices simply can’t match. Don’t forget the lemon zest; it adds a delightful tartness that beautifully complements the strawberries’ sweetness. Incorporating both juice and zest will infuse your cake with a refreshing citrus kick.

Leavening Agents- to ensure your cake is wonderfully light and airy, verify that your baking powder and soda are current and not past their prime. Stale leavening agents can lead to a denser, less appealing texture.

Butter- unsalted butter is key, allowing you to control the saltiness of your batter to perfection. Soften it to room temperature for effortless blending into a smooth consistency—too hard, and you’ll find it difficult to achieve the creaminess essential for the batter.

Milk- whole milk is recommended for its rich flavor and moisture-enhancing qualities, contributing to the cake’s overall succulence. Skim or low-fat milk simply won’t do justice to the cake’s decadent texture.

Powdered Sugar- often known by names like confectioners’ sugar, icing sugar, or 10X sugar, this is a baker’s secret to a smooth frosting. If you’ve run out, don’t worry—I have a guide on making your own powdered sugar at home.

For the ultimate Strawberry Lemonade Cake, starting with the right ingredients is crucial. Each component plays a pivotal role in creating a cake that’s not just a treat for the taste buds but a feast for the senses.

  • Elevate your dessert game with the strawberry reduction, a speedy alternative to jam. Got leftovers? Drizzle it over cake slices or scoop it onto ice cream for a zesty twist.
  • Tame those domed cake layers like a pro by wielding a serrated knife. Slice off the peaks for even stacking. For flawless layers, enlist the help of this Cake Strips. These wonders ensure uniform rising, banishing any unsightly domes. 
  • Precision is key, especially with flour. Invest in a scale for foolproof accuracy and fluffy cakes. No scale? No sweat. Fluff up your flour with a spoon, then spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off. Say goodbye to dense disasters.
  • Avoid tough cakes by letting chilled ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter reach room temperature before showtime. Overmixing is the enemy here, rock stars.
  • Chill out for easier assembly. Cold cake layers are your secret weapon against crumbling catastrophes. Make them ahead and pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to build.
  • Don’t let air bubbles crash the party. Give your cake pans a few gentle taps on the counter to deflate any unwanted guests.
  • Zest like a boss but watch out for the bitter white stuff. Stick to the vibrant outer layer for that burst of citrusy goodness.
  • Lemon zest before juice, always. It’s a game-changer, trust me.

Frequently Asked Questions 

WONDERING ABOUT STORING THIS CAKE?

You’ve got options! Leave it at room temperature for around four days without any toppings or pop it in the fridge where it’ll stay good for up to a week. Adding garnishes? No problem. Grab a cake dome to keep everything intact, especially those delicate strawberries and frosting. No dome? No worries. Just stick a few toothpicks strategically into the strawberries, then gently tent plastic wrap over the cake, ensuring it doesn’t squash the toppings.

CAN I GET A HEAD START ON THIS?

Absolutely! Feel free to prep parts of the strawberry lemonade cake or the whole shebang ahead of time. My suggestion? Bake those cake layers and whip up that strawberry reduction a couple of days beforehand. Then, when it’s go time, whip together the frosting and assemble the cake fresh on the day you plan to indulge.

Yep, this strawberry lemonade cake is a champ in the freezer department. Whether it’s the whole masterpiece or individual slices, wrap ’em up snugly in a couple of layers of plastic and toss them in the freezer for up to three months.

What you will need to make this Recipe

Gluten-Free Flour – it makes the base of your dry ingredients. There are many options available, and you can use your favorite; however, if you’re unsure what type of gluten-free flour is best, try baking with rice flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Both choices are available in the baking aisle, and both produce great textured muffins. Bob Red’s Mill 1-1 Cup Gluten Free Flour.

Whole Milk – In this muffin recipe, milk helps thin out the batter and adds creamy, richness to the final flavor. Whole milk is a great choice, with or without lactose.

Greek Yogurt – A little tangy yogurt brings some much-needed acid to these irresistible muffins. Use plain yogurt, not flavored. Greek Yogurt

Unsalted Butter – butter adds the rich and creamy fat needy to bring this recipe together. For lighter and fluffier muffins melt the butter before starting this recipe. If desired, you can swap half of the butter for vegetable oil.

Lemon Zest – the zest of the lemon has a bold citrus flavor that makes this recipe sing!

Lemon Juice – this bright citrus balances the dark blueberry flavor perfectly. Use freshly squeezed or bottled for this recipe, but it is best to use fresh it’s like a perfect marriage with Blueberries.

Vanilla Extract – a touch of vanilla flavor makes these berry-filled muffins pop! Use a pure vanilla extract if possible. Vanilla Bean Paste.

How to make Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

  1. First, pre-heat oven to 375°F and line up muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of the dry mixture to combine. Doing this will prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the batter.

      3.  In a large bowl, beat the eggs, butter, vanilla extract and sugar together on a medium speed about 3 minutes until fluffy.

      4. Pour 1/3 of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk together. 

      5. Pour and mix half of the milk into the batter, then alternate mixing in 1/3 of the flour mixture followed by the rest of the milk, yogurt   and remaining flour until combined.

      6. Gently fold in the floured blueberries.

      7. Divide the batter equally among the muffin pan liners.

     8. Sprinkle the streusel on top of each muffin and if desired, scatter more blueberries on top. Bake for 20 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry with moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them and placing them on a wire rack to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips and Tricks for making this Recipe

  • Don’t skip tossing the berries in the flour mixture, this prevents them from sinking in the bottom of the muffins.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or larger Disher to fill the muffin tin so every portion comes out even.
  • Check these muffins using the toothpick test, if the toothpick comes out dry the muffins are done.
  • You can substitute sour cream for yogurt.
  • Eggs, milk, and yogurt should be room temperature which help the muffins to bake beautifully and evenly.
  • You can substitute milk for any nondairy milk of your choice or even use water, but I am not sure if the result will be the same taste and texture.

How to Serve These Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffin

Enjoy these muffins while they’re warm with a little spread of butter, apple sauce, or simply some apples, or try them after they’ve cooled for a great on-the-go snack. They are the perfect mate for orange juice, coffee, oat milk Matcha latte or even a mimosa!

Any way you slice them, these awesome Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins are loaded with berries and great for any occasion!

Can You Store Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins?

To store these tasty muffins, allow them to cool then move them to an airtight container. These muffins can be kept on the counter for up to 4 days, up to one week in the refrigerator and up to three months in freezer, if you can resist them for that long like me 🙂

Reheat them in the microwave or toaster oven, or simply enjoy them at room temperature, it is your choice, but I definitely enjoy them even after 10 days in the refrigerator warmed up in a toaster oven.

How to make an Amazing Celery Soup

A nourishing bowl of Celery Soup—wholesome, budget-friendly, and bursting with flavor, all ready in just 35 minutes. It’s the epitome of health-conscious indulgence, deliciously satisfying, and easily adaptable for vegans.

Get ready to cozy up to our Simple Celery Soup—it’s creamy, decadent, and oh-so soothing! Longtime followers know my knack for transforming everyday ingredients into culinary marvels. 

Love Soups? Try my creamy vegetable Soup.

Consider this Celery Soup as the perfect beginning to a lavish feast or as a comforting homemade supper paired with crusty bread or Cheesy biscuit.

Here, I’ve adorned the soup with a delightful array of crispy celery leaves, toasted nigella seeds, and hemp seeds, but feel free to get creative with your toppings.

Croutons are always a classic choice, or you could try something new like Salmas croutons for a savory twist, or super seeds croutons if you prefer to go grain-free.

Don’t underestimate the elegance of crispy celery leaves—they’re not only visually stunning but also incredibly easy to prepare.

Nigella Seeds, commonly found in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, impart a robust, oniony-peppery flavor when toasted in a bit of oil. While not essential to the recipe, they add a delightful complexity. If you have them on hand, give them a try—they’ll take your soup to the next level!

Let me tell you, the health perks of celery are endless—seriously, just give it a quick Google search!

From battling inflammation to reducing cholesterol and blood pressure, not to mention its powerhouse status in antioxidants, celery packs a punch in the wellness department.

But let’s talk flavor—I am absolutely smitten with it. Personally, I’m all about stuffing celery stalks with almond butter and a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Talk about a tasty snack!

Despite its ubiquity, celery is a true hero when it comes to enhancing flavors. And let me tell you, indulging in a bowlful of this Celery Soup with warm, toasty bread? It’s nothing short of sensational!

Here’s hoping you find it just as delightful!

What you will need to make this soup

  • Ghee Butter: It adds a nice creamy, buttery flavor to the soup. 
  • Olive Oil: It adds a whole new dimension of flavor, taking a soup from so-so to a spectacular.
  • Bay Leaf: It adds a subtle flavor layer that lends more depth to the soup.

Pro Tips for making a delicious Celery Soup

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Start by sautéing onions, garlic, or leeks in a bit of olive oil or butter to add depth of flavor to your soup base.

  2. Include Potatoes: Adding potatoes to your celery soup not only enhances its creaminess but also provides a subtle sweetness that balances the flavor of the celery.

  3. Use Fresh Celery: Opt for fresh, crisp celery stalks for the best flavor and texture. Avoid celery that looks wilted or has brown spots.

  4. Thinly Slice Celery: To prevent fibrous texture in your soup, thinly slice the celery stalks before cooking.

  5. Add Fresh Herbs: Enhance the flavor profile of your celery soup by incorporating fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, or dill. Add them towards the end of cooking for maximum flavor.

  6. Finish with a Splash of Acid: A squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar just before serving can brighten up the flavors of the soup and add a refreshing touch.

  7. Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with toppings like crispy bacon, toasted nuts or seeds, croutons, grated cheese, or a dollop of sour cream to add texture and depth to your soup.

  8. Blend Carefully: For a smooth and creamy texture, use an immersion blender or countertop blender to puree the soup until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to avoid splattering.

  9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste your soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices.

  10. Let it Rest: Allow your celery soup to rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. This will result in a more flavorful and cohesive dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can celery soup be made vegan?

Absolutely! Celery soup can easily be made vegan by using vegetable broth and opting for plant-based cream substitutes.

How can I add flavor to celery soup?

You can enhance the flavor of celery soup by adding ingredients like onions, garlic, herbs, spices, or even a splash of lemon juice.

Can I freeze celery soup?

Yes, you can freeze celery soup for later consumption. However, it’s best to freeze it without any dairy products and add them in when reheating to maintain the soup’s texture and flavor.

What are some serving suggestions for celery soup?

Celery soup pairs well with crusty bread, crackers, croutons, or a sprinkle of cheese on top. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.

 How long does celery soup last in the refrigerator?

Description

Savor the comfort of a nourishing bowl of Celery Soup—wholesome, budget-friendly, and bursting with flavor, all ready in just 35 minutes. It’s the epitome of health-conscious indulgence, deliciously satisfying, and easily adaptable for vegans.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a pot over medium heat add ghee and olive oil.
  2. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 6 minutes.
  3. Add half of the diced celery, sauté for 5 minutes, then add all the diced vegetables except the rest of the celery and sauté for 5 minutes.
  4. Season the vegetables with the black pepper, ginger and turmeric.
  5. Add the rest of the celery and chicken broth, and cook until all the vegetables are tender.
  6. Set aside to cool down and use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency.
  7. Garnish with diced celery, diced parsley or diced cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • When opting for cashew cream, a hint of lemon juice can truly elevate the soup’s flavors. However, if you’re using sour cream or yogurt, their inherent tanginess might render the addition unnecessary.
  • For a speedy vegan rendition using cashew cream, simply toss half a cup of cashews into the simmering pot alongside the celery and potatoes to soften them up, then blend everything together seamlessly!
  • To ensure a smooth texture, thinly slicing the celery will prevent any fibrous bits from detracting from the soup’s creaminess.
  • When freezing this delightful concoction, it’s advisable to omit the sour cream initially, as it may develop a granular texture. Simply add it in later when reheating for optimal enjoyment.

Whether you need a wholesome breakfast, a pre-lunch snack, or a savory side for soup and salads, these muffins are your answer.

4. Gluten-Free Perfection

For my gluten-free community, these muffins use millet flour as a base, ensuring they are light, fluffy, and perfect for a celiac-friendly diet.

How to Make Gluten-Free Jalapeño Millet Muffins

Step 1. Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.

Step 2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the millet flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the yogurt, olive oil, and honey (if using) and mix until well combined.

Step 4. Fold in the Flavors

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding with a spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix! Gently fold in the chopped jalapeños, shredded cheese, and cilantro.

Step 5. Bake to Perfection

Scoop the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6. Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm with a dollop of cream cheese or on their own!

Pro Kitchen Tips for Perfect Gluten-Free Muffins

  • Millet Flour Must Be Fresh: Ensure your millet flour is fresh to avoid any bitter taste. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for longer.
  • Control the Heat: Prefer milder muffins? Remove all the seeds from the jalapeños. Like it extra spicy? Leave a few seeds in for an added kick.
  • Don’t Overmix: To keep the texture light and fluffy, mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can make the muffins dense.
  • Double the Batch: These muffins freeze well, so I strongly recommend making a double batch. Pop them in the freezer and reheat whenever needed.

The Cultural Story Behind Millet

Fun fact time! Did you know that millet is one of the oldest cultivated grains in the world? Its roots can be traced back over 4,000 years to ancient regions of Africa and Asia. It’s a staple in Indian cuisine, where millet flour is used in flatbreads, porridge, and even desserts. By incorporating millet into these modern muffins, we blend nostalgia with contemporary culinary convenience!

    Ingredients

    Here’s everything you’ll need for this simple yet oh-so-refreshing drink:

    • 4 cups water
    • 1/4 cup fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
    • 1/3 cup lemon juice (about 4–5 fresh lemons)
    • 1/2 cup sugar or your favorite sweetener (adjust to taste)
    • Ice and lemon slices for serving

    How to Make It

    1. Create the ginger infusion
      Start by boiling the water in a medium saucepan. Add the sliced ginger and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Your kitchen will smell AMAZING!
    2. Add sweetness
      Stir in the sugar (or sweetener) until completely dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to your liking as the ginger can pack a punch!
    3. Mix with lemon juice
      Once cooled, strain out the ginger pieces and mix the golden ginger syrup with the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
    4. Chill and serve

    Storage Tips

    • Store in the fridge: Pour any leftover ginger lemonade into an airtight container or pitcher and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3–4 days.
    • Freeze for later: Want to save some for a hotter day? Pour the lemonade into ice cube trays, freeze, and use the cubes in drinks for a flavorful twist.

    Tips for Perfect Ginger Lemonade

    • Adjust the flavor: If you prefer a stronger kick, steep the ginger longer or add extra slices. For a milder version, reduce the simmering time.
    • Try sparkling water: Swap still water for sparkling water to give your lemonade a fizzy, refreshing twist.
    • Sweetener swaps: Use honey, agave, or even maple syrup as a natural alternative to sugar.

    How to make Indian whole grilled chicken

    If you’re a fan of bold flavors, then this Indian Whole Grilled Chicken recipe is about to become your new favorite! Picture this—a juicy, tender chicken, marinated in a blend of warm and aromatic spices, grilled to golden perfection. Doesn’t that sound mouthwatering? Let’s fire up the grill and get cooking!

    Ingredients 

    Here’s what you’ll need to create this flavorful masterpiece:

    • 1 whole chicken (about 3–4 lbs), cleaned and patted dry 
    • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice 
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced 
    • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated 
    • 1 tablespoon garam masala 
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin 
    • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander 
    • 1 teaspoon paprika 
    • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder (or red chili powder) 
    • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste) 
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

    Optional Garnishes: 

    • Fresh cilantro leaves 
    • Lemon wedges 

    Instructions 

    Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

    Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, grated ginger, and all the spices in a large bowl. Mix well until you have a smooth, aromatic paste.

    Step 2: Marinate the Chicken 

    Using a sharp knife, make shallow slits all over the chicken. This helps the marinade penetrate for that deep, delicious flavor. Rub the marinade generously over the chicken, making sure to coat it inside and out. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is even better!).

    Step 3: Preheat the Grill 

    If you’re using a charcoal grill, get your coals to medium-high heat. For a gas grill, preheat to around 375°F (190°C). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.

    Step 4: Grill the Chicken 

    Place the marinated chicken on the grill, breast side up. Cover the grill and cook for about 45–60 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is beautifully charred. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165°F (74°C).

    Step 5: Rest and Serve 

    Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze some lemon juice over the top for extra freshness. Serve with naan bread, rice, or a side of cooling cucumber raita!
