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.

Your gluten-free fall baking list is here 🍎🎃

Hi Reader! Fall baking season is officially here, and I want to make sure you have everything you need. I pulled together four of my favorite apple and pumpkin recipes, from cake to focaccia, and every single one is completely gluten-free. Pick one for the weekend, or bake your way through the whole list. Gluten-Free Apple Cake A single-layer snack cake studded with tender apples and warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. No frosting needed, so it works for breakfast or dessert. Get Recipe...

Hi Reader! It's finally apple season, and I'm so excited to share this one with you! I officially partnered with Bob's Red Mill on a video for these gluten-free apple fritter donut holes, and it's a dream collaboration for me. This recipe is not on my website, and I didn't want anyone to miss out on it because it's SO good! These donut holes are the best combination of donut hole meets apple fritter. 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! Labor Day weekend is here, and I want to make sure you have everything you need to close out summer the right way. Here's a full gluten-free cookout menu, from the buns to the dessert. This is the last big cookout weekend of the summer, and I think it deserves a really good spread. I put together six of my favorite recipes so you have everything covered, all completely gluten-free. Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns The burger is only as good as the bun, and these ones can actually hold...

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...

Hi Reader! Peaches are at their peak right now, and this is the recipe I've been making on repeat to use them up. Gluten-free peach crumble focaccia takes the same Caputo Fioreglut dough from my other focaccia recipes and turns it into something that splits the difference between bread and dessert. Fresh peach slices tossed in brown sugar and cinnamon go right on top before baking, so the sugar draws out the juices and you get jammy, caramelized fruit in every bite. Here's why readers are...

Hi Reader! Our A/C went out again this week, so I've been doing everything I can to avoid turning on the oven. That means a lot of no-cook sides and cold drinks... but some things are worth sweating for. Like my blueberry crumble focaccia. I made a big batch of my hot dog buns at the beginning of the month and I'm really glad I did, because now we can just pull them out of the freezer and grill out this weekend without thinking about it. Here's what's on my menu. Gluten-Free Blueberry Crumble...

Hi there! We have a long weekend coming up here and I have a lot of recipes to share. Whether you're hosting, heading to someone else's place, or just using the extra time to cook something good, here's everything I've been making lately. Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns Most store-bought gluten-free buns crumble the second you pick them up or taste like cardboard. These don't. They're soft enough to bite through but sturdy enough to hold together under a burger with all the toppings. Get Recipe...

Hi Reader! Prime Day ends tomorrow and I've been going through my kitchen to pull together the tools I actually use every single day. These are not random picks. Every single one of these lives in my kitchen and shows up in my recipes. I figured if I'm going to shop Prime Day anyway, I might as well share what I'm grabbing and what I already swear by.
