Blueberry Swirl Muffins
June 5, 2016Blueberry Swirl Muffins
A sneak peek into Silvana Nardone’s cookbook, “Silvana’s Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Kitchen: Timeless Favorites Transformed“
Between the whole blueberries and the blueberry swirl, these muffins deliver a burst of flavor in every bite. The lemon sugar makes the tops extra crunchy.
Makes 12 muffins
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups plus 1 tsp. sugar
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2¼ cups Silvana’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 cup homemade Cashew or Almond Milk or store-bought
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a small bowl, stir together ¼ cup of the sugar and the lemon zest. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F with a rack in the middle. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 cup of the blueberries and 1 teaspoon of the sugar to a simmer. Cook, mashing occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat together the remaining 1 cup sugar, eggs, oil, milk and vanilla until smooth. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Pour the batter into each prepared muffin pan cup until two-thirds full. Spoon about 1 tsp. of the blueberry compote into each muffin batter center and, using a fork, swirl. Sprinkle generously with the lemon sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool on a rack before serving. (The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)

Makes 14-20 potato skins
Ingredients:
- 7 large or 10 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil and additional oil for coating potatoes
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 cloves garlic
- 6 Tbsp. unsweetened dairy-free rice, hemp or coconut milk beverage
- 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 2 Tbsp. minced chives
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Scrub potatoes and bake 1 hour or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes bake, remove stem and leaves from cauliflower and cut into small florets.
- Carefully smash each garlic clove with the side of a chef’s knife or a mallet; remove skins.
- In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets and smashed garlic with 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in oven with potatoes. Bake 30 minutes. Do not turn oven off.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the potato flesh (reserve to make mashed potatoes or use in another recipe) leaving 1/4-inch thick shells. Lightly oil each potato skin, inside and out. Place each, cut side down, on a baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Turn potato skins cut side up and bake 5 minutes.
- Place cooked cauliflower and garlic in a blender or food processor with milk beverage. Puree until smooth. Evenly spread cauliflower puree in each potato skin well. Liberally sprinkle with smoked paprika. If making ahead, the potato skins can be covered and chilled at this stage.
- When ready to serve, broil the potato skins 2-3 minutes in the oven, or until heated through and lightly browned on top. Sprinkle with chives.

Baked Brie with Orange Maple Craisin Sauce
November 10, 2015Baked Brie with Orange Maple Craisin Sauce
From Chef Oonagh Williams of Royal Temptations Catering
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp. orange juice
- Zest of half an orange
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2-4 Tbsp. dried cranberries
- 1 Tbsp. orange liqueur (optional)
- 2 Tbsp. chopped nuts oven toasted for 10 minutes at 350 degrees or chopped cashews, peanuts, etc. (optional)
- 1 x 4” round (8 o.z) of Brie that is not soft/squishy to the touch. It needs to be quite firm for baking.
Directions:
1. In a small pan (or microwave safe jug, if you prefer to use the microwave), melt butter and stir in orange juice, zest of orange, maple syrup and dried cranberries. Add liqueur if using. Adjust seasonings to your taste. Sauce will mellow and develop as it stands.
2. Remove Brie from box, unwrap plastic covering. Cut off top rind of Brie, more like shaving. Place Brie on oven proof plate you intend to serve from, that is about 2” bigger on either side of Brie and has a lip.
3. Pour orange mix and nuts on Brie. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 10-20 minutes (or microwave) until Brie has clearly melted (Brie will start losing shape as walls collapse when nicely melted). Nuts will be browning and syrup will be caramelizing where it touches the plate. Test the Brie with a spoon to see if it has melted.
4. Serve with my French bread croutes, made with a gluten-free bagel. For Thanksgiving I had ‘kettle’ variety of Popcorners popped corn chips that are slightly sweet and labeled gluten-free. You can also serve with Riceworks gluten-free cinnamon chips, as they are also a good combination with the Brie.
Preferably serve with small coffee style spoon for guests to spoon up very soft Brie. I had some of the leftover sauce with my turkey as well.
Tips & Alternatives:
- Add caramelized onions with dried cranberries.
- Add peach or apricot preserves with almonds.
