These gluten free raspberry cream cheese crumble bars officially have the record in our house for being eaten the fastest!”

(*Want to know what came in second and third place for getting eaten so quickly? Check out these Gluten Free Strawberry Bars and this amazing Gluten Free Peach Cobbler recipes!!)

Not only did I have to chase my husband out of the kitchen with a wooden spoon (I can be pretty scary!), but I had to rush in order to get these photos taken before the kids got home from school!

No stress!! My family obviously loves desserts!

Fresh Raspberries

If you love fresh raspberries, you MUST give this recipe a try.

I promise, you will fall in love with the flavors, just as my family did. Raspberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins! Raspberries are in season during the summer, but luckily, you can buy them all year round!

Top with certified gluten free streusel topping, almonds, and fresh raspberries!

I bought the ingredients for this dessert at one of my favorite places for bargains, Smart & Final. Did you know Smart & Final has tons of gluten free and organic products? This is the place I go to stock up on my kids’ favorite gluten free pasta too…it is 1/2 the price at Smart & Final!!

Who can pass that up?

I picked up all of the ingredients to make this dessert and a few extras. Do you like to find new bargains to use in recipes? The only thing I added from my pantry was gluten free flour. Hopefully Smart & Final will add this to their products soon :-).

I love so much about this store, even their First Street house brand products.

Did you know that Smart & Final donates back a percentage of each and every First Street sale to their local communities? I love when a company gives back to their community.

  17. A few of my friends are Gluten Free now, so I’m finally venturing into new baking territory. Life must suck if nobody ever bakes for you because they can’t be bothered to learn new tricks. I have to say, these are a must next time one of those friends visits.

  22. Smart & Final is so HANDY – there’s one right down the street from me, and they have some great deals. Looks like you were able to pick up all the essentials!

    I love the combo of raspberries and cream cheese (funnily enough, I posted raspberry sweet rolls this morning… with cream cheese frosting).

    Love how you made yours gluten free. I must give it a try!
