Craving cozy fall flavors without gluten or dairy? Whip up these moist, delicious Gluten-free, Dairy-free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins! My Return These muffins and this recipe represent, to some degree, why I didn’t share anything new on Savvy Baker for almost 12 years. A family member had to give up gluten and dairy, so we …
There’s just a hint of coffee in these cookies, and the toffee comes from a delectable combination of the first two ingredients: butter and brown sugar.

Even so, it reminds us of the name-brand chocolate-frosted banana cakes we used to buy in Cleveland. …
Dark chocolate, coffee and Italian cookies… for this recipe, the title says it all. Well, almost all. It doesn’t mention that—for cookies—they are actually low in sugar, low in fat and, thanks to whole wheat flour and almond meal, they are even (somewhat) nutritious!
