Spiced Coconut Cupcakes w/ Buttercream Frosting

About three weeks ago I was ready and raring to bake.  I wanted to play in the kitchen and I was thinking concoction.  I had random ingredients and an ArrowHead Mills Baking Mix.  I figured it could either go two ways.  Bad or good.  I would lose nothing.  I decided to embark.

I opened up the baking cupboard and pulled out Shredded Coconut, Vanilla Extract, Chocolate Extract, a Vanilla Bean, Nutmeg, Flax Seeds, Cardamom and chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

**Preheat your oven.

 Arrowhead Mills Vanilla Cake Baking Mix (mix requires eggs, water and other ingredients)
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. chocolate extract
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cardamom
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
1/3 cup flax seeds
1 Vanilla Bean-cut lengthwise.  Scrape the seeds out of pod with a knife and add to bowl. (It should look like a paste)

First add all dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients.  Mix well. 

Line your cupcake trays with cupcake liners.  Pour 1/4 batter into each cupcake tin.  Stop.  Add a dash of shredded coconut and a few milk chocolate chips.  Then add rest of the batter to each cupcake.
Bake for desired amount of time.
Let cool and stand for 20 minutes.  

Betty Crocker Buttercream Frosting goes great with this recipe!  And it's gluten-free!

**For an added burst of sweetness, I usually pipe with a pastry bag and thin tip buttercream or chocolate frosting into the middle of each cupcake before frosting the top.  

I can't even tell you how many compliments I got from these cupcakes!  I thought they came out horribly.  So I brought them to work, and after the entire tray was almost all gone I realized they WERE really good!  I have no pictures to show, because I really did not think these would be a hit.  Next time I'll blog it!

Enjoy!  Spread the Gluten-Free Word!

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...
