Gold Fish And Teddy Grahams

Hi,

My 2 1/2 year old has only been diagnosed for about a month. She still misses Goldfish crackers and Teddy Grahams. I was wondering if anyone has an receipes that would mimic these? I was thinking I could try and get some mini cookie cutters for the shape. But neither one of my reciepe books has anything that is chocolaty and a stiff enough texture that I can roll it out etc. I am about a 50% flop on gluten free baking so far as it is - so any tips would be appreciated.

Oh and our other limitations we can't do nuts or Rice.

Even when we are in the gluten free store she wants the shapes cookies but they all seem to have rice....

Thanks,

The cheesy quinoa crackers from Gluten Free Gobsmacked are great. I made them with mini cookie cutters, and my kids were scarfing them as fast as I could make them. I do not care for quinoa flour, so I used the sorghum/amaranth blend as suggested in the recipe. The picture alone will make you want to make these. :)

any suggestions on what to sub for the Rice Flour?

I believe the general rule of thumb for a recipe is . . . sub a starch for a starch and a flour for a flour. For example, if you can't do tapioca starch, try potato or corn starch. I think the exceptions might be potato flour (too heavy of a flour) and maybe coconut flour (I haven't used this but I think they recommend that it's not the "main" flour but I could be wrong . . . somebody who uses it should chip in).

I would try Sorghum or Millet . . . just because I like these (and I have them in the house). I personally don't care for the bean flours but many people do. A lot of people like Amaranth, too, but I haven't tried that one. I'd start off on whatever you have on hand and just make a 1/2 batch to see if you like it.

I always sub sorghum for rice in recipes but haven't tried it in the oreos.

Chebe mix has a recipe for cheesy goldfish type crackers and I have made crackers from their cinnamon mix and I think they taste like cinnamon grahams. Crunchy and yummy!

A fun little snack! I made a sample today. Never measured the seasonings but I would reduce the amount posted. They are so CUTE. Little cheesy squares. Easy to make. Watch the last minute so you don't over bake them. I took them out when the edges started to get brown. They'd be good on a salad or soup/chili. Kids can do this!!!

So I made some "Teddy Grahams" too. With the recipe posted earlier, I added extra flour b/c the dough was too sticky to cut with a cookie cutter. Didn't roll the dough, just patted it out. Tip: I think it might work better if the shortening was reduced and don't add extra water. Baked them about 10-12 minutes. They turned out great!

Just a quick note on this post...I made this recipe this past week, and while it does work pretty darn well overall, I found that after about a day the cookies themselves become extremely tough. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it is because moisture from the filling seeps into the cookies, making them lose their crispiness. Unless you know you're going to be eating all of these "Oreos" within a few hours, I have a theory it may be better to keep the cookie away from the filling until you're ready to eat them, and just spread the filling onto the cookies when you're ready.

Also, I was unable to find the Special Dark cocoa powder around here, so I put in a little extra of the regular Hershey's cocoa powder. It didn't completely nail the real Oreo color or flavor, but it was close enough.

This is a good recipe, but you just may wish to keep in mind my note above.

Another note about an item in this thread...I made these crackers, too, and while they do turn out pretty darn good, too, I found using sharp cheddar might be a little too sharp! The resulting flavor in the crackers was VERY sharp and nearly bitter, almost as if the sharpness of the cheese was magnified somehow in the recipe or the baking. I like sharp cheese, the sharper the better, actually, but I personally think mild or perhaps medium cheddar might be more suitable. Also, make sure to roll the dough out quite thin...it's pretty difficult to get these to crispy texture if the dough is too thick. Other than that, though, a nice recipe.

I am sorry they didn't work out so good. When I make them thicker then they are soft almost like cake. When I make them thin, they are hard. Play with it to get them "just right". The Special Dark Cocoa makes them "black". You may want to reduce the shortening by 1 or 2 T. also.

I am not disappointed in the recipe, exactly...it just takes a little special care, in my experience. I made some a little thicker that did indeed come out a little more "cakey," almost in the neighborhood of those Oreo and Nilla Wafer Cakesters they sell now. The thinner ones are hard, yes, but they were only hard and CRISP for me for about a day; after that while they remained hard, they were also quite tough. That is the only part that disappointed me.

I'm not making gluten free stuff for me so much as for other people who are intolerant. Me myself, I can eat buckets of wheat flour cookie dough, scarf on any ol' pizza, and freebase Pillsbury all purpose flour if I wanted to. The people the cookies were meant for mainly were happy with them the next day and beyond, as their palates and expectations are adjusted better to the slightly different results you get from non-gluten baking and products. They're simply used to things not being exactly the same, while I can get a bag of Oreos and hog down on 'em if I wish, and still have that expectation of trying to get precisely the same results without wheat.

I'm trying to adjust my own mindset, though, and in any case, just experimenting with the recipes and ingredients is interesting to me. I do like the "Oreo" recipe...it does taste quite good, and the results are nice, at least for a short time. Purple, did your batch of cookies last in the house more than a day or so? Did they change in texture like mine? In any case, I am filing the "Oreo" recipe in the "keeper" file, but just for me anyway, I'll probably try keeping the cookies away from the filling until ready to eat, then just frost 'em up when ready. It's just my theory, but I think the filling is what makes them get somewhat tougher as they sit over time. If/when I make these again, I will try keeping them separate and see what happens, and report back here!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
