I have made the 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies several times but do you think if I used canned pumpkin instead of peanut butter it would work?? :blink:

Oh, yum... I've never even thought of that. What a great idea! Make sure you add spices like ginger, allspice, and cinnamon, otherwise it might not taste like you're imagining it will. I might have to try this tonight.

Can you share the 3 ingredients in the pb cookies? I've not heard of this.

That sounds good. Let us know if it works. I can't remember the three ingredient measurements, but I think they are peanut butter, sugar and egg.

I'm excited!! Tomorrow, I'm trying the pumpkin version. I can't do legumes anymore, but I did make the peanut butter cookies and really liked them. I was at the store today, and bought a can of pumpkin, so I'm all set.

I'm thinking I'll use pumpkin pie spice as the seasoning.

Angie, definately let us know if you try them tonight!

Bully, the original recipe is:

1 cup sugar

1 cup smooth peanut butter

1 egg

Mix together, roll into 1 inch balls and flatten with fork. Bake in preheated 350 oven for about 8 minutes.

I also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract. :)

I don't think pumpkin would work, because it doesn't have the fat and protein that nut butters have, but maybe a different kind of nut butter would work ... But maybe you could just try it and consider any 'flops' an experiment. :blink:

Yeah, I don't think pumpkin would work - no fat or protein to hold the cookies from crumbling. You'd need something else - be it egg, gum, oil... Not to mention they would be *very* dense. It's a good idea, but needs a little more than three ingredients. :)

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.
