Breakfast Balls - Fearless Food Allergy Mom

Quick Breakfast Balls AKA Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

“Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies” is an accurate description of these, but in my mind they are “Quick Breakfast Balls.” I tried writing that alone as the name of this recipe, but it just didn’t seem appropriate! So now the recipe has two names. Whatever you call them, they are quick and yummy! I love these things for a nutritious and quick breakfast on the run. There are similar recipes which call them “healthy cookies.” They are healthy, and don’t contain any oil, flour or egg. But they have a texture that is, to me, more like a protein bar...

Roasted Cauliflower - Fearless Food Allergy Mom

This Recipe Will Make You Love Cauliflower – Yes, That’s Possible

This roasted cauliflower is addictive – really addictive. I used to hate cauliflower and would avoid it at any cost. When it’s served in an unappetizing mix of steamed veggies, there’s nothing to love about it. And it doesn’t taste good raw, in my opinion. But now, this is my favorite veggie side. In fact, sometimes I make this just to eat as a snack. Yes, cauliflower as a snack! It is a superfood, so that’s a good thing. Roasting cauliflower at high heat caramelizes it and brings out the sweetness. Make sure the cauliflower gets browned on multiple sides...

Quick Lentil Rice Dish Recipe - fearlessfoodallergymom.com

Quick Lentil Rice Dish

Need a dinner idea for Meatless Monday? This lentil rice dish is quick and easy, and also healthy! Use chicken broth, or vegetable broth to make it vegan. Melt shredded cheese – dairy or dairy-free – on top if you like. Cheddar or Monterey jack tastes great with this. I’ve been making this for many years, starting long before I cooked often. Instant brown rice isn’t something I use for anything else, but it works well in this dish and helps this meal cook up so quickly. I prefer shredded carrot in this but thinly sliced carrot works great as...

Dairy Free Chocolate Truffles!

These insanely delicious dairy free chocolate truffles are also soy free, gluten free, nut free and vegan. You’d never guess they’re allergy friendly! This was one of my favorite recipes to create, and they are so simple to make. All you need is coconut cream and allergy friendly chocolate, plus whatever you want to roll these babies in. Do yourself a favor and use a small cookie scoop with a squeeze handle for easy release. It’s not necessary, but definitely very helpful. I use Trader Joe’s canned “Coconut Cream” for this, but you can use regular full-fat canned coconut milk. Just...

Gluten Free Pancake Recipe - dairy free egg free vegan soy free

Gluten Free Pancake Recipe – Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Vegan

Years. It took years to come up with a gluten free pancake recipe, which was also allergy free, that my whole family was happy with. (OK, my husband doesn’t like pancakes so he doesn’t count.) I tried all sorts of gluten free recipes over the years with a million different ingredients and had a few that I used, but was never thrilled. And then my younger son was diagnosed with dairy, egg and nut allergies, at different times, so those recipes had to be further modified to be allergy free. As you can imagine, there was lots of experimentation and...

Fearless Food Allergy Mom - kettle corn recipe

Kettle Corn Recipe

You shouldn’t be sad at the county fair, right? Well, going to the fair sometimes makes me a little sad because I can’t have those giant bags of kettle corn they sell. You can smell the sweet and salty goodness from so far away, and they tempt you with tantalizing free samples! I try to avoid them because they are almost always made with soybean oil, and so are the ones sold at the grocery store. But here’s a great recipe that tastes just like the stuff they sell at the fair, and you can have it fresh whenever you like!...

FearlessFoodAllergyMom.com - Vegan Royal Icing

Royal Icing Recipe – Egg Free and Dairy Free

Here’s a vegan royal icing recipe which is dairy free, egg free, gluten free, soy free and vegan! We use it to decorate cookies. I separate the icing into a few bowls and color the batches with natural food coloring. Then I put some into the corner of a snack size zip top plastic bag (that’s what’s pictured), and snip off a tiny part of the corner. My kids squeeze those bags to decorate our allergy free cookies. I personally don’t like artificial food flavorings, but they work in this recipe if you like them. Using real vanilla extract will make...

Fearless Food Allergy Mom - Recipe for Powdered Egg Replacer

Recipe for Powdered Egg Substitute – Vegan, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Flaxseed Free

Replacing eggs in baking can be done in a number of ways. A lot of egg-free recipes call for “flax eggs,” which are made with flax seed. I’m sensitive to flax seed so I can’t use those. Fruit puree (applesauce or prune puree) can be used to replace eggs in certain types of recipes, like sweet quick breads or brownies. But fruit puree can’t be used to replace eggs in everything because you can taste the flavor of the fruit in the finished product, and the fruit does not replace the leavening action of the eggs. Powdered egg substitute (or “egg...
