A Dash of Megnut

Hi, I’m Megan — gluten-free recipe developer and commercial food stylist. I’ve lived with celiac disease for 13+ years and have spent the last decade creating recipes that are safe, beautiful, and genuinely delicious. Gluten-free baking is my specialty — from chewy cookies to cakes that wow — Gluten-free baking is my specialty — from chewy cookies to cakes that wow — but I also share approachable, celiac-safe dishes that work for dinner parties, casual get-togethers, and everything in between.

NEW! Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bagels 🎃

Hi Reader! Pumpkin bagels are here! My new gluten-free pumpkin bagels just went live, and I can't stop making them! They're a fall spin on my New York-style gluten-free bagels. The dough is almost the same (brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and psyllium husk), but I swapped some of the water for pumpkin puree and added pumpkin pie spice. They still get boiled, so you get that shiny crust and chewy bite you want in a real bagel. They're not overly sweet either. They still taste...

Gluten-free cinnamon pull apart bread with cream cheese frosting dripping down the sides

Hi Reader! I'm so excited to share this one with you! My new gluten-free cinnamon pull apart bread is live, and it's SO good. It has everything I love about my gluten-free cinnamon rolls, but it's even easier to make. You roll out the dough, cover it in butter and cinnamon sugar, stack it in a loaf pan, and bake. Then it gets a drizzle of cream cheese frosting. Every piece pulls apart just like regular bread. The dough uses my homemade flour blend (brown rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato...

There's no yeast, so they're ready in under 30 minutes. If yeast or deep frying has ever...

Hi Reader! As soon as I posted my Gluten-Free Bagels recipe, the number one request landed in my inbox and DMs within days... could I make a blueberry version? Grab the Recipe Here I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I got to work adapting the dough. Old habits die hard, so the former accountant in me went straight for the math instead of just guessing. Blueberries are about 85% water, so I swapped 170g of fresh blueberries in for the 140g of water in the original recipe, lightly mashed and...

Hi Reader! Bagels have been one of the most requested recipes since I started this blog, and I finally have a version I'm proud to share. These gluten-free bagels started with my lean yeast dough base and went through four rounds of testing to get the water ratio right and land on the final recipe. The result is a chewy, golden bagel with a shiny crust that comes from boiling in a brown sugar water bath before baking. Here's what makes these work: ✓ A lean yeast dough made with brown rice...

Hi Reader! It's been a busy week in my kitchen and I have a lot to share. Here's what I worked on, what just went live, and what you should make this weekend. What I tested this week Bagels have been consuming my life lately and honestly I loved every single test batch. The flavor was there from the very beginning. What I was really chasing was that classic chewy bagel texture, which took a lot of water ratio tweaking to get exactly right. I also tested omitting the baking powder, which I use...
