The nuts, grains and seeds add a touch of crunch and a whole other texture to the traditional “oatmeal” cookie, not to mention a whack of nutrition! The dough must rest overnight to absorb all the liquid and prevent it from flattening during baking. http://www.grouprecipes.com/107029/supergrain-cookies-with-nuts-and-fruit.html Every Easter these spicy, fruit-studded rolls crop up in various incarnations. Some say they actually have pagan roots in Spring Equinox rituals, and that the monks simply added the cross to convert people to Christians! This is my version, a fluffy and not-too sweet type with a flour-paste cross. http://www.grouprecipes.com/91452/faeries-hot-cross-buns.html I'm looking for good, warming, gluten-free recipes to have while I'm on a gluten elimination diet, so here's hoping! http://www.grouprecipes.com/84898/breakfast-polenta-for-one.html Rich, sweet and full of fruit flavour, these tender jumbo cupcakes don't need frosting or glaze to make them delightful! Not a dieter's delight, but delicious! Makes 8 jumbo muffins, or 16 regular muffins. http://www.grouprecipes.com/84060/holiday-muffin---cakes.html A Christmas made straight from the heart... and home! Buckwheat flour added into the crust makes for both a tender and flavourful dough. A layer of thin apple slices underneath hearty spiced mincemeat adds texture and interest to the dessert too! I used my own home-made mincemeat for this, but jarred is fine... just pick one you like! I highly recommend you serve this with rum raisin ice cream! http://www.grouprecipes.com/82838/apple---mince-pie.html The original recipe for these cookies was featured on FoodTV.ca and was written by Dreena Burton. She made them with pecans, chocolate chips, almond extract and dried cherries, so I turned the recipe on it's head and morphed it into this! One thing remains the same: you'll have a hard time believing that these tasty morsels have no dairy, eggs, or wheat.
