The Best Gluten and Dairy free Snacks!

Hello all! Wow, it's been a while since I last posted on here. If you haven't been following me on Instagram (or in real life) lately, we are now a family of four! It's been a busy few weeks with two little ones, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I mean, just look at this little peanut.

Anyways! I've been meaning to make this post for a while now. For those who don't know, my daughter, Addison has had some gut issues her whole life (Good news though-I'm pretty sure she's almost finally on the mend! That'll be another post.) So finding snacks that are free of all the allergens/inflammatory foods and that still taste good is hard to do. If you're living a gluten free, dairy free or  vegan lifestyle I hope this post helps!

Here's some of our favourite snacks ( they all have minimal ingredients):

If you can't have corn, these are great tortilla chips! They're made with cassava flour and are nice and light.

These almond crackers are a good alternative to your typical rice or corn crackers. They taste yummy and have a lot of different flavours to choose from.

These cookies are great if you have a sweet tooth! Addison loves them.

This is our favourite "ice cream". Again, minimal ingredients and it's sweetened with honey so I don't feel guilty giving it to my daughter. 

If you like cheesies, then you will love these cauliflower puffs - We do! And a bonus, they have probiotics in them!

I order most of these foods from Natura Market . They have so many healthy goodies to choose from, from paleo to vegan.

If you have any treats you love, please let me know! I'm always looking for healthy goodies.

The best grain free, gluten free, dairy free muffins!

We recently found out Addison can't have gluten so I've been trying out a bunch of new recipes lately. These banana muffins are the best grain free muffins I've made so far, so I thought I'd share!
Like the title says, there's no grain, no gluten, no dairy and no refined sugar!

Let me know what you think if you end up trying these out!

What you'll need:

• 1 TSP of cinnamon
• 1/2 TSP salt
• 1/2 TSP baking soda
• 3/4 cup of coconut flour
• Ground flax seed mix (egg replacer) *See note below
• 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
• 1/2 honey ( sometimes I do just a bit less)
• 1 TBS vanilla
• 3 ripe bananas

* 1 TBSP of ground flax + 3 TBSP of water = 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl mix together all wet ingredients.

3. In another bowl mix together dry ingredients.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together.

5. Spoon the batter into lined muffin tins.

6. Bake for 30 minutes.

*It will be tempting but make sure to let them cool completely. Coconut flour tends to crumble when still warm.

Enjoy!
