The idea to make these gluten free Blueberries and Cream Cupcakes came from the book Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes. You can view her original recipe over at ivillage.com.  While testing, the boys and I were referring to these yummy little gluten free treats as blueberry shortcake cupcakes and as you can imagine, the 3 of us enjoyed every bite.

My husband, unfortunately, was not privy to a tasting of these gluten free cupcakes since he was on an extended business trip and out of the country.  Thankfully he’s back now, so I just might have to whip up a batch for him.

For all of you Gluten-Free Girl fans, Shauna has done an informative round up of Gluten-Free Cookbooks and was kind enough to include The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook.

Lillian’s Test Kitchen has been rocking some amazing food videos lately. Below is a video of her making my Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook.

Wow, so much buzz in the world of almond flour! I was impressed with this very informative post by Alexa of lexieskitchen.com called How to Make Almond Flour. She provides excellent instructions for those times when you run out of your favorite superfood flour and don’t want to wait for a shipment, even including photos of her finished “product” alongside Honeyville’s.

Finally, the winner of last weeks Friday Freebie, a jar of Naturally Nutty Organic Pepita Sun Seed Butter is annaaspnes! Coincidentally, she named my Gluten Free Blueberry Mini-Muffins video as her favorite.
