For some recipes that are:

Gluten free
Dairy free
Egg free
Soy free
Nut free
Coconut milk free.

DD can't eat any of the above and really want to try and start baking her cookies and such she is only 15 months but is sooo limited with the foods she can have and variety.

She is starting to get extremely fussy with her food too. Some finger food recipes or ideas would be AMAZING!!


Please help me!!! I've looked on the net but most seem to have one of the ingredient DD can not have


I'll take ANY recipe ANY!!! :laughing:

Hi,

My dd has previously been allergic to cows milk and now my ds seems to have allergies too. All i do is take a normal recipe and substitute for a product by orgran called no egg (found in supermarket) and instead of milk i use rice milk. Mostly they turn out great and you can't tell they are allergy free although my latest attempt at cupcakes were a failure and probably needed real egg. so its a hit or miss as to what works. i will come back later and post some recipes i have found that work. (typing one handed at the moment!)

I know gingerbread works well with the gluten free flour too.

polenta chips.

Make a pot of polenta and pour onto oven sheets. Let set.

Cut into chips and spread apart. Spray with olive oil spray and sprinkle with herbs. Oven bake until golden brown. Can store unbaked chips in fridge for 4 days.

Try these (I typed in "allergy free recipes" in google) (if they have wheat flour can you use rice four or similar instead? Also can you use that egg replacer stuff?)

Thanks summerstar, we are not allowed to try her on any type of milk for another 3 months because of the allergies she already has to coconut and soy. But I will have to look at the egg replacement.

Oh wow thanks for the recipes TMM sound yummy and EASY!

Thermo you are a total champ! I just downloaded it :thumbsup:

Thanks for the search singa. I have never tried her on the egg replacement and I'm not 100% sure if she is allowed it, I'll give her dietitian a call tomorrow and ask as for the flour I have a GF flour not sure how it will go for a recipe not formulated for it though.


Oh and of course thanks for the bump opti ;)

I'm much good for recipes as I'm new to gluten free (my allergic DS1 could have gluten so I'm only new to this with DS3), but as PP said check out Orgran mixes, if it says to add milk use Rice milk and substitute egg with Orgran 'No-egg' (from health food section) or 1 1/2 tablespoons water + 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil + 1 teaspoon baking powder (drop the water if cooking biscuits and they turn out too runny.). Also check out Hullabaloo foods and http://www.whatcanieat.com.au/ .

I highly reccommend you get some good allergy cookbooks - the best I've found is the New Zealand food allergy cookbook available through Anaphylaxis Australia.

Here's buckwheat pancakes

1 cup buckwheat flour
2 tsp Orgran egg replacer
1/2 cup rice milk
1 cup water
1 tbsp oil

Sift flour into a bowl and form a well in the centre
Whisk egg replacer w milk water & oil.
Pour into well and beat until smooth
Heat a frying pan (pref non-stick) andbrush w a little oil. Pour in enough batter to lightly coat te base. turn when pancake mixture begins to set and cook until a light golden colour. Makes 16-20.

Sesame and Date squares
125g Nuttelex
1 cup pitted dates, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
pinch salt
1/2 cup sesame seeds
4 cups rice buubbles OR 2 cups rice bubbles and 2 cups cornflakes
Lightly grease a 20x30 cm swiss roll tin
In a large sacucepan, melt margarine. Add dates, sugar and salt
Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes
add sesame seeds and ice bubbles. mix well.
press into prepared tin, chill until set and cut into squares when cold.

My friend reckons the best substitute for 1 cup SR flour is
2/3 cup rice flour
1/3 cup psyllium
2 tbsp arrowroot
1 tsp wards baking powder

which you could use for a regular biscuit recipe, substitute butter with Nuttelex and egg with no-egg or canola oil mix and I think you'd be ok. Maybe instead of rolling out biscuit dough, just drop balls of it onto the baking tray and flatten with a fork as GF stuff can be crumbly.

Good luck! let us know what works.

Sorry - must have been writing that while you posted above! Check with the dietician about rice milk, it's pretty harmless (compared to oat/cashew/almond milk) and if she's currently having rice cereal or flour then rice milk would probably be fine.

Thanks presley some great recipes and thank you so much for the SR flour "recipe".

It's her paed who has said no to the milk for another 3 months. She was very concerned when she reacted to soy then coconut so has asked to not introduce any including rice till she is 18 months as she doesn't want to make the allergies worse.
It's not much more or a wait so I think we should be fine for a bit longer, it's just hard lol.

I have a few cook books but nearly every recipe has something she can't have :rolleyes:

I'm mostly having trouble with snack foods. Main meals is pretty easy thankfully.

Hun you can use stewed apple as an egg replacer too a bit nicer than the powdered stuff.

Chocolate cake.

Sift the following dry ingredients together:

1.5. Cups gluten free plain flour
4tbsp cocoa powder
1cup caster sugar
1tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarbonate soda
1/2tsp salt

In separate bowl mix
5tbsp vegetable oil (can use apple purée instead-same amount)
1tsp vanilla essence
1 cup warm water
1tbsp white vinegar

Mix with wet ingredients till just mixed pour into 20 cm greased and lined cake tin. Bake at 180deg for 30 mins or until skewer comes out clean.

Alternatively put in cupcake cases and bake for 15-18 mins until skewer comes out clean.

It sounds awful-but is really rich and delicious. I make it as muffins and do a few for non allergic people and add some choc chips. Very yummy. I actually used this recipe for DS's birthday cake.

If u want to top it- raspberries and yoghurt work well

Oh, sorry no worries. If you find out she can have the rice milk ill come back and post some recipes. Also forgot to mention i use nuttelex instead of butter as well.

I feel for you as i am so sick of not being able to give my kids normal everyday snacks so appart from apple muffins, banana bread and strawberry muffins (which i make from scratch, so i know whats in them!) my two live off fruit, vegies, hommus, rice crackers, certain type of bread, vegemite, jam, rice and pasta! Not a lot of variety but they don't mind too much.

Have also found some treats they can eat like natural confectionary lollies and a certain sorbet (for icecream) but i cant remember the name off the top of my head. Might be galativo or something.

Sorry im not much help

You could try the Allergy Friendly Cookbook by Alice Sherwood. She has some good recipes and has several variations depending on the allergies.
