These amazing low-fat chocolate treats taste deceptively decadent but rather than adding unhealthy stuff like butter or sugar, the cakes get their tasty “peppermint patty-ness” from ingredients like cocoa powder, Truvia, pumpkin puree, and peppermint extract. I’m sure it sounds a little strange but once you mix in a few essentials like oats, baking soda, and eggs, the ingredients come together to form a delectable, chocolate-peppermint batter. Once the easy batter is stirred together, simply divide it between two mini pie tins and a mere half hour later, you’re ready to indulge your chocolate cravings with a delightful Peppermint Patty Snack Cake!<br />

<br />
4. Divide batter between prepared pie tins.<br />
<br />

<br />
5. Bake cakes for 28-30 minutes, or cakes feel firm to the touch in the center and edges start to pull away from sides of pan.<br />
<br />

<br />
6. Let cakes cool for 2-3 minutes, then run a thin rubber spatula or knife around the edges of each cake to separate it from pan. Invert cakes onto serving plate and enjoy!<br />

Loaded with ingredients like flax, lentils, walnuts, TVP and avocado these tasty burgers would make any hippie proud! While these delightful burgers may seem a little intimidating since they’re composed of several separate components, most of the ingredients only require hands off cooking, which leaves you free to move onto the next component while another one is cooking. In the end, all of the separate components are simply stirred together in one bowl and combined into delectable burgers. After a quick cooking, you’re ready to savor a flavor packed lentil vegetable patty topped with a creamy avocado mash and you will see that this dish is worth the time. Pure veggie burger perfection!</span><br />

<br />
2. While the lentils are cooking, add <u>Pulsed Grains</u> ingredients to a small food processor. Pulse until ingredients are ground to a breadcrumb like consistency. Carefully pour crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and set bowl aside. (No need to wash food processor yet--you’ll need it for the next step).<br />

<br />
3. Next, begin the <u>Roasted Vegetables</u>--preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with a layer of nonstick spray.<br />
<br />
6. Add vegetables to food processor and pulse until finely chopped.<br />
<br />

<br />
7. Scoop vegetables onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Place baking sheet in oven and roast 12-15 minutes, or until vegetables are golden and beginning to toast around the edges.<br />
<br />

<br />
8. As the vegetables are roasting, prepare the <u>TVP</u> mixture--add TVP, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Stir in tomato paste and soy sauce, then cover mixture in boiling water. Let sit for 4-5 minutes or until water is absorbed and TVP is tender. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bIaAULL3Ynw/UnvHd2un-oI/AAAAAAAAMdo/5kpOKYwg9ng/s1600-h/091813%252520156%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="091813 156" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-s4QL3gnRdZA/UnvHeft4ISI/AAAAAAAAMds/r2swx0j174Q/091813%252520156_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="091813 156" width="244" /></span></a><br />
<br />
9. Once the lentils, vegetables, and TVP are finished cooking, you can begin combining everything! Add lentil mixture, vegetables, and TVP to bowl with pulsed grains. Add <u>Herbs & Flavorings</u> to bowl, then stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. <br />
<br />

<br />
10. Line a tupperware container large enough to hold 6 patties (I used two smaller containers), with wax paper. Use a (1/3) measuring cup to scoop out 6 patties from burger mixture and place in tupperware containers. Don’t worry about shaping or flattening the patties yet, you can do that right before cooking. Cover containers and refrigerate burgers for 3-4 hours.<br />
<em>(Note: If you prefer, you can make the patties a few days ahead of time, and simply refrigerate until ready to serve. On the day you want to serve the burgers, just remove from fridge and cook as instructed. This also means you can enjoy the burgers on different days. I chose to just cook two burgers the first night (as pictured) and then cooked the remaining burgers 2 days later.)</em><br />

<br />
11. After burgers are chilled, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a oven safe skillet (large enough to hold the desired number of burgers) with nonstick spray and heat to medium high.<br />
<br />
12. Use your hands to flatten and shape patties then add to skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes or until browned on the bottom. Use a spatula to carefully flip burgers, then continue to cook 2-3 minutes more or until browned on both sides. <br />

14. While the burgers are cooking in the oven, prepare the <u>Creamy Avocado Mash</u>--add all ingredients to a small bowl, then use a fork to mash ingredients until combined.<br />

15. To assemble burgers, toast gluten free bread, then place a burger patty on half of the bread slices. Top each burger with a dollop of avocado mash, then close burgers with remaining bread. Enjoy!<br />

For this adorable, petite sized variation, I used thinly sliced eggplant instead of noodles, to create a healthier and naturally gluten free manicotti. The eggplant “noodles” are then filled with an absolutely fantastic vegetarian filling of lentils, mushrooms, and crushed tomatoes. Once the mini manicotti are assembled, they’re smothered in marinara sauce and cheese, then baked until golden, bubbly, and delightful!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Eggplant:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Cut off top and bottom of eggplant, then trim three sides so eggplant resembles a flat block, about 6 inches in length (the flat sides will make it easier to slice on mandoline).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cUhGfy3EApI/UoUD5HwMo4I/AAAAAAAAMt0/kRfPFzqC1LQ/s1600-h/101013%252520189%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="101013 189" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-P1Pngh9vupQ/UoUD5oD0iCI/AAAAAAAAMt8/PDGeRldMgyo/101013%252520189_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="101013 189" width="244" /></span></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-f0EHmi0LeB4/UoUD6Y0jHTI/AAAAAAAAMuE/Mw9i8GXLE2k/s1600-h/101013%252520192%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="101013 192" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DQg8rDkNkqQ/UoUD7A07UqI/AAAAAAAAMuI/atje6NRKEtI/101013%252520192_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="101013 192" width="244" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">3. Use a mandoline to cut 10-12 thin slices, approximately 6 inches x 2 inches (don’t worry about being exact in measurements, I just wanted to give an idea about how big the slices need to be). You only need 10 slices for the recipe, but it never hurts to have a few extra pieces roasted. After slicing 10-12 pieces, reserve any extra eggplant for another use. (If you don’t have a mandoline slicer, use a sharp knife and cut slices as uniformly and thin as possible.)</span><br />

Like the cassoulet, the Cranberry- Squash Panini is also Thanksgiving inspired (although almost anything with cranberries seems to remind me of Thanksgiving) and includes a wonderful combination of squash, cranberries, pumpkin, and cheese To make the simple panini, the squash and cranberries are roasted until tender then combined with the pumpkin puree before being layered between the jam and cheese. After a few minutes on the panini press, you’re left with a delightfully toasty and slightly gooey panini. </span><br />

You just can’t beat a bowl of warm and comforting winter squash soup! I decided to call today’s soup variation a “chowder”, which might seem a little odd for a vegetable soup but this recipe is so unbelievably creamy that no other name is suitable. The delightful Apple-Butternut Chowder is packed with squash, apples, cauliflower, and carrots that are tossed in Indian inspired spices and then roasted to bring out their maximum flavor. After roasting, the vegetables (and apple) are pureed with a combination of broth, milk, and pumpkin puree to create a silky and flavor packed curry-spiced chowder.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">3. Place baking sheets in oven (if baking sheets are too big to fit side by side, it’s fine to place one on the upper rack and one on the lower rack) and roast vegetablesfor 20 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven and gently stir, then return to oven (rotate position of baking sheets if you’re using two different racks). Continue to roast 20-22 minutes more or until vegetables are very tender and nearly falling apart.</span><br />

This amazing French toast recipe has all the wonderful components of pumpkin pie layered between two pieces of delicious gluten free french toast. The “crust” of the pie is created by coating the French toast in puffed rice cereal that becomes perfectly toasted in the skillet. The “pie filling” is a simple combination of pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and spices that’s layered on top of the crusted bread Finally, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and more maple syrup provide the ideal toppings for this tasty dessert for breakfast dish.</span><br />

2. To prepare the French Toast, add rice cereal to a flat bowl (large enough to fit a slice of bread). Add egg, milk, and vanilla to separate bowl (also large enough to hold a slice of bread) and whisk until combined. Arrange bowls side by side next to stovetop.<br />

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large oven safe skillet with nonstick spray and heat to medium. Dip one slice of bread in egg mixture. Use a fork to flip bread slice, being sure that all sides are thoroughly coated in egg mixture. Remove bread from egg and place in rice cereal. Press down gently so cereal adheres to bread, then flip and crust the other side. Carefully remove bread from cereal and place in skillet. Repeat entire process (egg, cereal, skillet) with remaining slice of bread.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">**** Please note that Arrowhead Mills does not certify their puffed rice cereal as gluten free but it is found in the gluten free sections of many stores . I mistakenly assumed it was gluten free when I saw it in the gluten free section of my health food store (always read labels before buying!) and had been eating it for months by the time I discovered my error. While not certified, the ingredients are gluten free and when contacted, Arrowhead Mills says there should be no cross contamination. I eat the cereal everyday and have never had any problems but if you have any concerns, choose a puffed rice cereal that is certified gluten free.</span><br />

The first layer of this irresistible mini casserole is a tasty combination of pumpkin and lentils with a dash of spice. Next, a wonderful mix of roasted vegetables is piled into the baking dish followed by a delectable topping of cranberry sauce. A quick 10 minute bake in the oven provides time for the cassoulet flavors to meld and mingle into one scrumptious dish that brings back all of the best memories of Thanksgiving.</span><br />

<br />
6. Once the vegetables, cranberries, and lentils are prepared, you can begin assembling the layers. Start by spreading the pumpkin/lentil mixture into an even layer on the bottom of prepared baking dish. Next, pile the roasted vegetables onto lentils. Finally, scoop the cranberry sauce on top and spread into an even layer. <br />

The pumpkin doesn’t add any flavor to the risotto- just a delightful creaminess. After seeing leftover hummus in my refrigerator and not having a purpose for it, I began to wonder if hummus would work in the same way in a risotto recipe. Well, it turns out that while hummus and risotto may be an unconventional pairing, they definitely make a delightful combination. The hummus adds the same wonderful creaminess that the pumpkin does but also adds the perfect hint of hummus flavor to this delicious risotto dish.</span><br />

Instead, this delicious dessert is comprised of a very moist cake that’s filled with dates and drenched in a gooey toffee sauce. I first sampled this decadent dish while in York, England and loved it so much that I was inspired to create my own version. My recipe for Sticky Toffee Pudding still involves a date cake smothered in a gooey sauce but it also contains a few ingredients that you won’t find in the traditional pudding such as grated carrots, almond milk, and oats. While my lightened up and gluten free toffee pudding might not be exactly like the original it is still a wonderfully indulgent and delicious treat. Plus, this version is ridiculously easy to make--the majority of the work is done in the microwave.<br />

For this easy to make dish, cranberries and apples are slowly simmered until thickened, then finished with a dash of orange zest for a perfectly delectable result. The sweet apples are the perfect complement to the tart cranberries and since both fruits are naturally high in pectin, the jam comes together in minutes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>CranApple Jam</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Gluten Free</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Makes Approximately 4 Cups</strong></span><br />

4. Stir in remaining 1.5 cups of water, and orange juice. Increase heat to high to bring jam to boil once again, then reduce heat to medium high to let jam simmer. (If mixture begins to splash and sputter too much, reduce heat to medium). Continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes more or until jam is mostly smooth with just a few chunks.<br />

Despite having made countless pumpkin recipes, this irresistible Fall-inspired bread might just be my favorite! The delectable Pumpkin Splendor bread is jam packed with pumpkin and complementing flavors such as carrot, ginger, and cinnamon. To make this tasty quick bread, simply mix the dry ingredients, then mix in the wet ingredients, and pour into a loaf pan. The hardest part of the entire recipe is waiting for the bread to bake and cool before enjoying!</span><br />

<br />
9. Once the squash is finished roasting, let sit for a few minutes until it’s cool enough to handle (you can also use a clean dish towel while holding the squash if it’s still too hot after a few minutes). Use a spoon to scoop out the “flesh” of each squash half into a medium mixing bowl. Leave a small border around the edges so squash “shells” still hold their shape.<br />

Horseradish Vegetable Mash a perfectly delicious way to do just that. To make this zesty, autumn-inspired side, a combination of butternut squash, cauliflower, carrots, and apples are slowly roasted until tender and caramelized. Next, the vegetables (and fruit) are pureed until smooth along with a splash milk for creaminess, and a sprinkle of fresh horseradish for some spice. Before you know it, this simple and scrumptious mash is ready to enjoy. Also, if you want to share the tastiness with more people, you can easily double or quadruple the recipe.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4 ounces butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced (about 3/4 cup once diced)</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4 ounces cauliflower florets (about 1/8 of a head of cauliflower)</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1.5 ounces carrot, peeled and chopped (about 1/2 of a small carrot)</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4 ounces apple, peeled and chopped (about 1/2 of an apple)</span> <br />
1 teaspoon grapeseed oil <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 cup unsweetened original almond milk (like the kind by </span><a href="http://silk.com/products/unsweetened-original-almondmilk" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">Silk</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">) </span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1 inch piece of fresh horseradish, peeled </span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Salt & Pepper</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1-2 tablespoons green onion, chopped</span> <br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with a layer of olive oil spray. Add squash, cauliflower, carrot, and apple to baking sheet , then drizzle with oil. Season vegetables with salt and pepper, and stir to combine (a sturdy rubber spatula works well for stirring without ripping the foil).<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Place baking sheet in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove vegetables, stir, then return to oven. Continue to roast 12-15 minutes more, or until vegetables are fork tender and golden around the edges.<br />

<br />
3. Scoop vegetables into a tall mixing bowl (the higher sides are useful when using an immersion blender). Add milk to mixing bowl, and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth (or until mash reaches desired consistency). If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can also use a small food processor blender.<br />

While it is more common to eat jicama raw, for this salad I decided to roast the root vegetable to bring out even more of it’s natural sweetness. The base of the salad is made of roasted jicama along with a few other Mexican inspired roasted vegetables like pinto beans, corn, and poblano peppers. To complete the delicious dish, the roasted vegetables are tossed with baby spinach and fresh herbs, then drizzled with a delectable orange chipotle dressing. </span><br />

<br />
8. Immediately after removing from oven, use a small spatula or butter knife to loosen edges of muffins from tin and place on a cooling rack.<br />
<br />

<br />
8. To store -- let muffins cool completely, then wrap individually in aluminum foil and place in a tupperware container or a gallon sized ziploc. Muffins will last 4-5 days at room temperature or to keep longer, place container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Once frozen, you can defrost muffins one at a time as needed in the microwave or by leaving on the counter for a few hours.<br />

*I may be way behind the times but I recently discovered the wonder of foil cupcake liners. I’ve always had trouble with the paper liners sticking and tearing to muffins but foil wrappers (like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Reynolds-Baking-Cups-Extra-Large/dp/B000N2W67A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1382373063&sr=8-5&keywords=foil+cupcake+liners" target="_blank">these</a>) don’t stick at all and are marvelously easy to remove! <br />

First, simply stir fry a tasty combination of vegetables for a few minutes just tender. Next, combine the vegetables with the gluten free noodles and the delectable sesame-soy sauce. Finally, the finishing touch is a delicious egg on top. There’s need to worry about getting another pan dirty though, the egg is baked right on top of the noodles and vegetables in the oven. It doesn’t get much easier than that! </span><br />

Repeat with second dough ball so you have two cakes.</span><br />

Adding peanut butter powder with the dry ingredients gives the dessert a subtle peanut butter flavor that pairs perfectly with the rich, chocolately fudge flavor. Just like <a href="http://spicysweetpotato.blogspot.com/2013/04/gluten-free-fudge-brownie-bundt-cake.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">Fudge Brownie Bundt Cake</span></a>, this silky chocolate treat tastes sinfully decadent but is much healthier than the average cake. Be sure to allow time to refrigerate cake overnight prior to serving- believe it or not, the cake tastes absolutely perfect when it’s served cold straight from the refrigerator.</span><br />

8. To store cake, wrap each slice in aluminum foil and place in a tupperware container, or gallon sized ziploc bag and place in the refrigerator. Refrigerate cake overnight prior to serving, to intensify the chocolate flavor. Serve cake cold, with any desired toppings (ice cream, whipped cream, fresh fruit) or simply enjoy a slice with no toppings! Leftover cake can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week, or in the freezer for about a month.<br />

My Orange Glazed Tofu manages to put a fresh and healthy spin on the takeout favorite ,without sacrificing any of the flavor. To make this tasty meal, the tofu is cut into cubes, then oven roasted until crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. After roasting, the tofu cubes are tossed in an absolutely delectable orange glaze filled with fresh ginger, fresh orange juice, soy sauce and more. Add the tofu cubes to a bed of rice and you have a simple yet spectacular new way to enjoy tofu.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">2. Press tofu for 25-30 minutes, then uncover. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil spray. Cut each tofu piece into 8 cubes so you have 16 cubes total.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

For Toasted Hummus Pockets, I filled the masa dough with tasty hummus, then baked the “pockets” until golden. The finished Hummus Pockets are absolutely delightful with a perfectly crisp crust and a warm, creamy center. A dollop of parsley-yogurt sauce on top and you have one magnificent dish! The instructions might look a little complicated but once you finish the first pocket, you will realize just how simple it really is. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Hummus Pockets--</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2 cup masa harina (you can find this in the hispanic section of most supermarkets or online; check for gluten- I used </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Corn-Masa-Mix-4-4/dp/B0000IJYK4/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1379521473&sr=1-1&keywords=maseca+masa"><span style="font-size: small;">Maseca</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> brand)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/8 teaspoon ground cumin</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 teaspoon paprika</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2 water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 cup hummus*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Parsley Yogurt Sauce--</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2 teaspoon lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Salt</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Add masa harina, salt, cumin, and paprika, to a small mixing bowl. Pour in water then stir until a dough begins to form and mixture starts to form a ball around spoon. Wet hands slightly, then pick up dough and mix with your hands until you can form a smooth, pliable ball of dough (If dough doesn’t seem to come together, you may need to add a touch of water (if too crumbly) or masa harina (if too sticky).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">3. Using a measuring cup or tablespoon, measure out two tablespoons (1/8 cup) of dough. Repeat four times more so you have 5 separate sections of dough. There will be a little bit of of extra dough- save this to fix any holes later in the process.</span><br />

To turn the stew into a scrumptious burger, simply pulse in the food processor, stir in a couple of ingredients , and voila!- a tasty new entrée. Once cooked, the flavor packed burger is topped with a delightful chickpea sauce and ready to enjoy! *Please note that for best results, burgers need to be refrigerated overnight prior to cooking, so plan accordingly!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">3. Use an (1/3) cup measuring cup to form mixture into 4 burger patties. Place patties in a tupperware container lined with wax paper, cover, and place in the refrigerator to set. Refrigerate patties overnight to set. <em>(<u>Note:</u> From this point, you can decide how many patties you want to cook at a time. If you don’t want to cook all 4 burgers for the same meal, leave the remaining patties in the tupperware container and cook at a later time. Patties will last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Chickpea sauce recipe makes enough sauce for 4 burgers so adjust accordingly or save any extra in the refrigerator). </em></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4. Once patties are refrigerated and ready to cook, prepare the chickpea sauce by adding all of the sauce ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Stir to incorporate ingredients, using the back of spoon to mash chickpeas, as you stir. (Don’t worry about mashing chickpeas completely, you’re aiming for a slightly chunky sauce). Set sauce aside while you finish the burgers. </span><br />

This delicious vegetarian soup tastes delightful different from your everyday vegetable soup thanks to exotic spices like cumin, curry powder, and ginger plus the addition of peanut butter. It may seem pretty strange to add peanut butter to a savory soup but it’s often found in recipes for African stew and it provides a wonderful flavor to the dish. Instead of traditional peanut butter, I used a mix of peanut butter powder and pumpkin puree for my stew. The pumpkin adds a nice creaminess, as well as a touch of sweetness to balance the heat cayenne and jalapeno. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">4. Place baking sheet in oven and roast pears for 6 minutes, then remove from oven and stir. Return pears to oven and roast for 6-7 minutes more or until fork tender and golden. Set pears aside while you prepare the crepe batter. <em>Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.</em> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">5. To make the crepe batter, add egg, milk, flour, Truvia, salt, and peanut butter to a mixing bowl with high sides (the taller sides help to prevent splattering when using the immersion blender). Use an immersion blender to puree batter until smooth. (Alternatively, add ingredients to a small food processor or blender and puree until smooth.)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">6. Spray a crepe pan (or 10-inch nonstick skillet) with nonstick spray and heat to medium low. Scoop out a scant 1/4 cup of batter and pour into pan, quickly tilting pan in a circular motion so batter forms an even coating on the bottom. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until crepe is beginning to set and you cans slide a small spatula around the sides. Carefully loosen the edges and flip the crepe (I’ve found that it’s often easier to just pick up with one hand rather than using a spatula to flip). </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">8. Continue to cook on second side for 1-2 minutes more, until crepe cooked through on both sides, then place on cooling rack until ready to fill (The cooling rack will help prevent it from getting soggy). Repeat cooking process with remaining batter to make 2 more crepes (you should have 3 crepes total when finished).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">9. To fill the crepes-- Remove syrup from refrigerator, then place one crepe flat on a work surface and arrange about 1/3 of the roasted pears in a line on the bottom half of crepe. Roll up the bottom of the crepe, tucking in the sides as you roll, so that filling is enclosed. Place crepe seam side down on an oven-safe plate. Fill the remaining crepes and arrange side by side on plate.</span><br />

To make the bread pudding, gluten free bread cubes and grated carrots are first tossed with a spiced milk and egg mixture before being baked into golden, irresistible bread pudding muffins. Luckily, there’s no need to wait for the muffins to cool, just pop ‘em of the pan right away out and smother in the delectable lemon cream cheese glaze. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4. Fold bread cubes and carrots into egg mixture, being sure that all of the bread is coated in liquid. Let rest 5 minutes so bread can absorb some of the custard. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">5. After 5 minutes, evenly distribute pudding mixture between the 6 muffin cups. (I found that the easiest way to do this was to use a spoon to scoop out the bread first, then once bread is distributed between the cups, evenly ladle the custard on top). Bake bread pudding muffins for 44-46 minutes, or until they begin to caramelize around the edges and pull away from sides of pan. The tops of the muffins should feel firm to the touch and slightly browned. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">6. When the muffins have about 10 minutes left to bake, begin making the glaze. Add Laughing Cow to a small microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave 8-10 seconds or until softened. Add maple syrup, milk, and vanilla to bowl. Whisk to combine ingredients, then recover, and microwave 15 seconds. Whisk glaze again, then continue to microwave in 15 second intervals until heated through (about 45-60 seconds total depending on the power of your microwave).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">7. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest, and yogurt until smooth. If necessary, adjust the consistency of glaze but adding a little yogurt to thicken or a dash of milk to thin it out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">8. Once bread pudding muffins are finished baking, immediately run a knife of thin rubber spatula around the edges of each muffin to loosen them from the pan. Carefully scoop out muffins and place on serving plate.</span><br />
