have a christmassy tea time treat!

{ gluten-free mini cinnamon rice gugels }


'Bolo de Arroz', the portuguese rice muffin, ocasional replacement for a Pastel de Nata as a side for an espresso or a meia-de-leite, was the inspiration behind these mini gugels. I have spiced up the original recipe up and made it totally gluten and lactose free! Mini lemony cakes, with a texture similar to that of madeleines, they are the perfect as a coffee or tea-time treat and for sharing with friends!


I feel like I owe each of my readers an apology for being so idle! I have been cooking and baking just as much as usual, and I even have some nice things to share with you from my birthday, but life has a way of getting in the way - sometimes in a good way! So please, be patient with me and give me another shot! I have been developing some new gluten-free cake recipes too, and it will take some time until I feel confident enough about them to share them! These cakes turned out really nicely, hence here they are, so that you can make some for your tea this coming weekend. And fear not the fact that Christmas - and all the food it brings - is around the corner. These are totally guilt-free and they still taste just like Advent time!
