GF Pumpkin Muffins

Gluten-free Pumpkin Muffins

 

1 box Betty Crocker Gluten-free Yellow Cake mix

1 15oz. can Libby's pure pumpkin

3 cage-free organic eggs

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, and maple syrup.  I used a mixer on low speed to combine until smooth.  You could also use a whisk, I suppose.  Fill muffin tin cups 3/4 full.  Bake for 18-22 minutes, until a knife in the center comes out clean.  Serve with a glass of almond milk!

Spaghetti Squash 'Pasta'

Spaghetti Squash 'Pasta'

 

Cut the spaghetti squash in half using a really sharp knife. Get the closest man to help you if necessary! Scrape the seeds out with a spoon and discard. Place the halves, cut side up, in a glass baking dish with 2" of water. Bake in the oven at 375-400 degrees for 30-45 minutes, depending on its size. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Using a fork, shred the squash from its rind. It's super easy! Use as a pasta substitute in any recipe. It has a similar consistency to pasta with a slightly sweet taste.
