I made these today. A modification of another recipe I found. I made them SCD legal and they are delicous:

Ingredients

* 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (I prefer the flour from digestive wellness over Bob's)

* 1/2 teaspoon celtic sea salt

* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

* 1/4 cup honey

* 1/2 cup oil (I made mine with 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1 egg white because I tolerate eggs)

* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 tablespoon almond extract (I used 2 for a more almond flavor)

* 1 cup cherry jam (I used digestive wellness brand which is SCD legal fruit and honey only)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda and salt.

2. In a smaller bowl, combine oil, honey, vanilla and almond extract. (or honey, almond extract, vanilla, coconut oil and eggs if you want what I did)

3. Stir wet ingredients into dry.

4. Roll into 1 inch balls (give or take)

5. Place balls on parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet.

6. Press balls to 1/4 inch thick (give or take)

7. Put a dollop of cherry jam in the center of each cookie.

8. Bake at 350 for 6-9 minutes. Watch them. You want them to just start turning brown on the edges. Not too brown. My oven needed the full 9 minutes.

9. Cool and serve.

***If you are not SCD. Then you could use regular jam for these. Raspberry would also be good for those that can tolerate them.

These sound really good. What can be used in place of the almond flour? I can't have almonds, would a regular flour work, or another nut meal?

Raspberry Hazelnut sounds good. I think pecan or walnut meal would be too strong of a taste and too oily.

I dont know if you could use gluten-free flour blend. You would likely need to add a binder like xanthum gum. You would have to experiment.

I know these ingredients arent cheap and I dont want to be to blame for a flop. :P

Sounds like a good recipe for Christmas or Valentine's Day and Today!

      mystery gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too. I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's. So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/ Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      @Rejoicephd, Would you consider adding a B Complex to your supplements? I was taking a multivitamin and still became deficient. There's a question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive system. I found taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, very beneficial in my recovery...

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      @kopiq, Your case is not hopeless. Doctors are not required to learn much about nutrition. Celiac Disease causes damage to the lining of the small intestines resulting in malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals. The eight essential B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are chemical compounds that our bodies...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thank you @cristiana. Its really helpful to hear your experience, thanks for sharing. 8 years is a long time! And its also good to know that others have experienced worsening before it gets better. I've just started doing the food diary recently, and I'll keep that going. It's at least helping me try to get a handle on this, and also helps increase my...

      Yes, the development of additional food intolerances is a common spinoff of celiac disease. To ensure valid testing after beginning a "gluten challenge" you would need to be consuming at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Many cannot follow through with this regimen, however, as their intolerance...

      mystery gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too.  I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's.  So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/   Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and Vitamin C.  This study found a higher rate of thiamine and Vitamin C deficiencies in people with Hashimoto's.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37278003/   Try cutting back on the amount of iodine in your diet.  Iodine, even in small amounts, can stimulate the thyroid which in turn stimulates the immune system which increases antibody production.   Dairy and eggs are high in iodine.  Switch from iodized salt to Pink Himalayan salt.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9703374/   Supplement with Selenium, a mineral that helps the thyroid function and calms the immune response in the thyroid.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37033262/ Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Rejoicephd, Would you consider adding a B Complex to your supplements?   I was taking a multivitamin and still became deficient.  There's a question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive system.   I found taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, very beneficial in my recovery.   Some B Complex supplements use Thiamine Mononitrate which is not well absorbed nor utilized by the body.  Thiamine Hydrochloride is better.  Benfotiamine is easily absorbed.  If not needed, the B vitamins are easily excreted. High B12 out of the blue could be masking a lack of other vitamins that work with B12, like Folate B 9, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1. Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins.  B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that digest protein, fats, and carbohydrates.   Do keep in mind that most gluten free processed facsimile foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like their gluten containing counterparts.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more Thiamine is needed to process them into energy instead of storing them as fat.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      @kopiq,  Your case is not hopeless.  Doctors are not required to learn much about nutrition.  Celiac Disease causes damage to the lining of the small intestines resulting in malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  The eight essential B vitamins  and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from what we eat.  If we're not absorbing sufficient amounts from our food, then supplementing with vitamins and minerals help boost our ability to absorb them.  The B vitamins are safe and water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed or not absorbed.  Essential minerals are important, too.  Magnesium and Thiamine make life sustaining enzymes together.   Blood tests for the B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  By the time a deficiency shows up in the blood, you've been deficient for a few years. The best way to tell is to try taking a  B Complex and looking for health improvements. Taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, helped me immensely.  I also took Vitamin D and Magnesium Glycinate and others. Did your doctor offer any treatment to correct your critically low Vitamin D level?   Mine was lower than yours.  My doctor prescribed the less bioavailable form D2.  Our bodies utilize the D3 form better.  I bought over the counter Vitamin D3 supplements (1000 IU) and took several with each meal.  Taking high doses of Vitamin D to correct a deficiency is safe and very effective at improving health.  I started feeling better quickly.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and lower inflammation, as well as makes hormones. Laying out in the sun cannot correct a Vitamin D deficiency unless you're below the 33rd parallel (on a tropical island with abundant exposed skin for several months).  Ultraviolet rays from the sun destroy the thiamine in the body.  That feeling of lethargy is because the sun exposure broke down thiamine into unusable pieces.  Thiamine and the B vitamins make ATP, the energy currency the body requires to function, to make digestive enzymes, to regulate body temperature, to think, to heal itself.  We need more Thiamine when we're outdoors in hot weather, working or exercising.  Thiamine deficiency doesn't cause heat stroke, but thiamine deficiency can make heat stroke symptoms worse.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically ill or injured or undergoing medical procedures.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or traumatized.  Anxiety and depression are very early symptoms of thiamine and other nutritional deficiencies.   Rashes can be caused by deficiencies in Niacin B3, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C.  Some rashes can become worse with exposure to sunlight.   The B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that will help you digest fat and proteins better.  Meats are an excellent source of B vitamins.  Sweet potato and plantain are high in carbohydrates.  The more carbohydrates one eats, there is a greater metabolic need for thiamine to turn them into energy, ATP. Can your doctor refer you to a dietician or nutritionist?

It's at least helping me try to get a handle on this, and also helps increase my overall awareness of what I'm putting in my body. I will also message my GI doc in the meantime too.  Thanks, it's really helpful to talk through this.
