I'm in search of one too. I've been doing gingerbread houses with my kids for three years now, it's always so much fun. I always just bought the houses pre-cut, or I used graham crackers. I don't know what we'll use this year......but I'll have to find something!

Here try this. I'm not sure if it will work for making a house, but it seems like it should. Just be sure to use gluten-free spices. Good luck!!

Wheat-Free Gingerbread

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups Amaranth Flour

1/2 cup Arrowroot Starch

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Salt

3/4 tsp. Ginger

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Allspice

2/3 cup Warm Water

1/4 cup Oil

1/3 cup Honey

2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease 8 or 9 inch baking dish. Combine dry ingredients and sift them into bowl, mixing well. Combine liquids in one pint measuring cup or small bowl and mix with fork or whisk. Pour over dry ingredients all at once and mix quickly. Pour immediately into baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. When done, cracks appear and top springs back when touched. Best if served warm.

My family makes a gingerbread house every year. The last couple of years we've done it gluten-free. I follow the recipe from Betty Crocker, with a few modifications. It works fine, just make sure your flour has plenty of xanthan gum mixed in. My 4 kids love eating it after Christmas.

Gingerbread People (Adapted from Betty Crocker's Cookbook)

1 Cup packed brown sugar

1/3 Cup butter or shortening

1-1/2 Cups dark molasses

2/3 Cups cold water

7 Cups gluten-free flour (make sure xanthan gum is mixed in - at least 7 tsp for this much)

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground allspice

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Mix brown sugar, butter, molasses and water. Stir in remaining ingredients. (Start with 6 cups flour and add last cup slowly, only add as much as needed to make thick dough.) Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Heat oven to 350. Roll dough 1/4 thick on floured board. Cut with cutters into desired shapes. Place about 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake until no indentation remains when touched, 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Good luck!

We don't ever eat our gingerbread house, so I just planned to make one using regular flour so the whole thing will stick together! I will just make it on a day I am not doing other baking so I have a chance to really clean up well. I plan to do some regular baking this year, and some gluten-free stuff as well. Should be interesting.

OK, if I can get this recipe to work, you will be one of my favorite people. I don't see any reasonf or me to make any substitutions on this, wow! So rare!

Thanks!

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
