Help-multiple Allergies Need Recipes

[daisey]

Hello, can anyone help me?? I am trying to find a cookie recipe, or anything dessert like e.g cake, that does not contain EGGS, DAIRY of GLUTEN. Thanks

Here's an apple tart that has a nut/date crust. I fixed it for Thanksgiving and it is really good.

Open Original Shared Link When I make it again (for this weekend) I'm going to double the amount of apples.

I've yet to find a bread or cake baked without egg that is worth the effort, so I try to concentrate on desserts that naturally don't have egg, and the apple tart is the best I've had so far.

There may be others who have had more success than me and will post their recipes - I'll be watching along with you.

What a great recipe, thanks, I will make it this weekend for sure

Hi Daisey,

I've been experimenting with some of this recently. I agree with artgirl on the bread, except for fruitbreads which seem to be okay, just substitute a variety of egg replacers. (For example: 4 eggs required - gelatin for one, tofu for second, banana for third, egg whites or egg replacer for 4th. Also add a tsp or so of flax meal to your dry ingredients.) You might need to add some sort of frosting though, my breads seem a little dry. And make spicy cookies, with cinnamon or nutmeg or ginger. Wheat and eggs impart a flavor that's missing when you don't use them. When you add spices it's less obvious.

Thanks for the great advice, frosting also seems like a great Idea. I'll keep everyone posted about my cooking experiments.

Cheers

Thanks for starting this ...

I don't have a recipe, but I have been eating Pamela's ginger cookies and they are gluten-free,SF,EF,DF. They are made with molasses and that took some getting used to, but now I like them ...

I also like Bob's gluten-free chocolate cake mix and it is gluten-free,SF,DF,EF. I make it with canola oil instead of margarine or butter, flax meal instead of eggs and nut milk. The cupcakes always rise.

Hi Daisey:

Besides gluten I have diagnosed allergies to dairy (casein), eggs, soy and cane sugar. For my celiac support group's holiday cooky exchange I made Christmas cookies from my 'adapted' recipe:

FRUIT AND NUT SLICE AND BAKE COOKIES

(Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Egg and Cane Sugar Free)

Stir 1-1/2 Tablespoon Flax meal into 1/3 cup very hot water. Leave 10 minutes.

Dredge with 1/3 cup of Bob

hi daisy,

i made 12 batches of christmas treats, all gluten/casein/egg free. if you need more ideas, please let me know and i'll post them.

[marciab]

Lorka,

Could you please post those ? So far this is a really good thread for allergen free goodies. Thanks marcia

BTW, any ideas on what to use instead of corn starch ? And corn based fructose ?

[RiceGuy]

I occasionally enjoy rice pudding or tapioca pudding. Both can easily be made without the ingredients you mentioned. I usually add a few fruits like berries and apples, which always seem to taste great in these desserts. It can't hurt to get creative and just experiment. Whenever I aim to try a new combination, I just imagine what the flavors will be like when combined - seems to work out every time so far

I have a cookbook called Cooking Free, it has 100's of recipies that are soy/corn/gluten/diary free! I'd recommend getting it (or see if your library has it).

Marcia,

I always use potato starch instead of cornstarch. That is, of course, if you can tolerate potatoes. Some days, they are about all I can tolerate

Burdee - I made the Chocolate Almond Slice and Bake Cookies from your recipe today - YUM YUM!!!

I couldn't find any almond flour at Whole Foods today, so I bought whole almonds and ran them through the blender - worked pretty good but left some larger pieces of almond which I just sifted out. This is probably cheaper than buying the almond flour anyway.

I am alergic to corn, so instead of sucrose I used cane sugar. I packaged the dough into four rolls and put all but one in the freezer - this is going to be very convenient to bake up a small batch of cookies in the future (there are only two of us so small amounts of calorie-laden goodies is best).

I use arrowroot or potato starch instead of cornstarch - think any of the starches would work for most recipes.

Lorka - yes, keep those recipes coming!

We just made a gingerbread house and gingerbread cookies and they were gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free and soy-free and yummy! This recipe makes a lot, so you might want to cut it in half. It made a large house and 2 trays of cookies.

Gingerbread people (Adapted from Betty Crocker)

1 C packed brown sugar

1/3 C shortening, softened to creamy (I used Spectrum)

1-1/2 C dark molasses

2/3 C cold water

7 C gluten-free flour (make sure it has xanthan gum sifted in; at least 1/2 tsp. per cup)

2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. ground ginger

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cloves

Mix sugar, shortening, mosasses and water well with a hand mixer. Stir in remaining ingredients. Use a strong spoon and lots of elbow grease! Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Heat oven to 350. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on floured board. Cut with floured cutters. Place about 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake until no indentation remains when touched, 10-12 minutes. Let set for 3-5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet.

no recipes here im not a good baker... but i can follow mixing instructions. so i use Namaste mixes and Really great food company mixes both fit your needs and "bake" up great

Liz,

I love ginger snaps. I wonder if one could just roll the dough in logs, refrigerate, and then cut off slices like refrigerator cookies, without rolling out and using a cookie cutter. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the recipe.

I don't think they'd turn out quite like ginger snaps, but I'm sure that method would work - although the dough is still somewhat soft even after being refrigerated.

I love your avatar - did you paint it?

Just tried this recipe and it tastes great. I need practice with the crust but that just means I have a reason to make the recipe again.

Thanks so much for posting the link!!!
