Servings: 10 pancakes

Ingredients:

Pancake mixture:

2 eggs
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sunflower oil (plus oil greasing the skillet)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup of milk
½ cup of fresh blueberries

½ cup of fresh blueberries
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp water (optional/ as needed)
1 tbsp lemon juice

Decorate with:

1 tbsp Pistachios
Blueberries

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the milk to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has small lumps—don’t overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
To make the blueberry jam, place a small pan over low heat and add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Let it cook until it thickens and the blueberries are softened. If you like a juicier jam, you can leave it slightly runny, but the berries should still be soft.

Servings: 9-12

Ingredients:

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tbsp instant yeast
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg

For the Filling:

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
8 oz Philadelphia cheese
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a small saucepan, mix the milk, yeast, and sugar. Gently heat until warm but not boiling, then remove from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the egg and pour in the warm milk mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, make the filling by mixing the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one of the longer sides, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Slice the log into 9 or 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each one. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While they bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, soft cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once baked, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
Serve and enjoy!
