Egg-free Brownies (with beet puree)
The secret to my Egg-free Brownies lies within the beetroot puree! It works as a binder so it can be used as an egg replacer in baked goods, like these delicious brownies.
No Bake Granola Bars
No Bake Granola Bars are free from the top nine food allergens and a homemade alternative to costly allergy-friendly packaged granola bars. These make a great nut-free option for school lunch or snacks!
Freezer-Friendly Pumpkin Muffins
Freezer-Friendly Pumpkin Muffins are an egg-free way to enjoy pumpkin all year long. My family likes to add chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. This recipe makes a double batch, which is great for large families or those who want to freeze extra for later!
Sunflower Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sunflower Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy with a delicious roasted-flavor. This recipe is an allergy-friendly option for those with nut allergies!
Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
Chocolate Chip Pecan cookies are egg-free & peanut-free, yet so delicious with a fudge-like center. This allergy-friendly recipe can be easily modified to accommodate wheat-free, milk-free, and nut-free.
Allergy-friendly Pancakes
Allergy-friendly Pancakes are lightly, fluffy, and egg-free! Plus, they make a great canvas for self-portrait pancakes using sliced fruit and vegetables. This is a fun summer meal for kids and kids-at-heart to enjoy together!
Banana Nut Bread
Banana Nut Bread is soft, tender, and loaded with nutty flavor. This baked egg recipe uses ground nuts to safely expose toddlers and young kids to pecans or walnuts.
