Gluten-Free Maple Pecan Scones

The days of our Harvest Moon Bakery feels like another lifetime. Robin and I had our bakery in downtown Amherst, MA and every detail was approached with quality in mind. Her then husband built our beautiful maple counter and laid the terra cotta floor tiles.

We spent days creating a Harvest Moon Blend coffee with a local coffee roaster and every day we offered croissants and Danish, baguettes and sourdoughs, hearty, grainy artisanal loaves of bread, cookies, brownies, cakes and scones – all made from scratch.

A version of these Maple Pecan Scones was in regular rotation and we thought it was time to create a low FODMAP, gluten-free rendition. They are gently sweetened, a little crumbly and best enjoyed alongside a piping hot beverage of your choice. Get the Gluten-Free Maple Pecan Scones recipe here.

Meet Our Famous Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Our milk chocolate chunk cookies have a with a history! These cookies have followed Dédé for 30 years.

Let us explain.

She came up with the first version of Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Orange & Pecans in 1986 when she was developing recipes for the Black Sheep Deli & Bakery in Amherst, MA. Robin was managing the store and Dédé was back in the kitchen turning out cakes and cookies, soups and salads – actually kinda like now! But we digress…

The original was not gluten free and featured candied orange peel – and we made them in a huge size! People loved them so much that when Robin and Dédé left to open their Harvest Moon Bakery, also in Amherst, they took the recipe with them, but because the cookies were so beloved, bakers at the Black Sheep continued to make them.

It was like the cookie was bigger than any one of us. Hey, spread the love, that’s what we say. Get the recipe for Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Orange & Pecans here.
