The post Sugar Cookies appeared first on Your Allergy Chefs.
]]>These delicious sugar cookies are so easy to make and they keep their shape when baked. You can enjoy them plain, decorated with sprinkles or sanding sugar, or frosted with royal icing.
A sugar cookie everyone can enjoy!
These easy no-spread sugar cookies are great for cutouts and decorating. You can also freeze the cookie dough and baked cookies!
Look How Easy
When cutting out your sugar cookies, make sure to keep your cuts as close together to get as many cookies out of your dough as possible. Re-roll any scraps.
Freeze
Plain or decorated baked cookies freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
You can also freeze the dough. Divide dough in half and flatten both halves into a disk. Wrap well in plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to bake cookies, thaw the disks in the fridge, then bring to room temperature for 20 minutes. Roll away!
Getting the Most Accurate Measurement
Proper measuring and sifting of dry ingredients is essential in baking. Dry ingredients, including flour, naturally settle on standing. Texture, how long the flour has been stored, and humidity can all influence the degree to which flour settles.
To get the most accurate measurement, start by whisking the flour in its container to aerate.
Scooping the flour directly into your measuring cup packs the flour into the cup, causing you to end up with significantly more flour than the recipe calls for.
To measure the flour, spoon into measuring cup, overfilling. Use a knife or other straight edge to level off the top. Whisk again with the other dry ingredients to combine and further aerate the ingredients before incorporating them into the dough.
Some baked goods may require an extra step of sifting to obtain light and airy baked goods. Sifting also helps to filter out any impurities and/or clumps.
Allergy-Friendly Decorations
Tru Color Natural Sanding Sugars are free from the top 8 allergens, artificial colors, sesame, and mustard. They can be purchased online.
Betty Crocker Nonpareils are free from the top 8. However, they are not all processed at the same facility/lines. They take allergies VERY seriously and advise to check the labels. If the sprinkles are processed on a line that may process other allergens, they will state on the label “may contain”. The container does have a phone number that you can call for peace of mind.

]]>Black-eyed peas are a Southern good-luck tradition for the New Year. I grew up on this tradition and my mom never missed serving up black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day.
This year we’re enjoying them in a stew. Inspired by the dish Red-Red from Ghana, this simple black-eyed peas and tomato stew is traditionally served with fried plantains. We like dishing it up with plantain chips or sautéed bananas, which make a great stand in for plantains.
Enjoy this healthy stew throughout the year!
The Ingredients
Using canned black-eyed peas slashes time without sacrificing flavor.
Thinly sliced onions are sautéed until lightly caramelized. Minced garlic, curry powder, grated fresh ginger, and chili powder are added and cooked with the onions for one minute. Tomatoes and black-eyed peas are added and the stew simmers for 15 minutes.
Sautéed Bananas or Plantain Chips
While the stew is simmering, cut 2 firm bananas in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 2 to 3-inch pieces. Sauté the bananas in a little vegan butter for about 5 minutes, until browned on both sides. The combination of the stew and bananas is incredible!
Or enjoy with plantain chips.
Yield 6 cups
Free of: gluten and top 9 allergens.

Vegan and free from gluten and the top 9 food allergens, read more to make the easiest and most delicious eggs benedict!
The components:
About the Ingredients
Mushrooms
Any type of mushrooms can be used, including button (white mushrooms), cremini, portobello, oyster, king oyster, chanterelle, black trumpet, maitake, and lion’s mane. Whew, lots of choices!
We used a combination of king oyster and button. To get the mushrooms ready, wipe clean with a damp paper towel, trim, and slice. For king oysters, trim across the mushroom’s stem to separate it from the mushroom cap. Holding the stem down against your cutting board, pull a fork toward the base of the stem, shredding the stem, as shown below. Slice the caps.
JUST Egg Folded Plant Eggs
What an amazing product! Fully cooked, all you have to do is heat them up. They are made without gluten or the top 9 food allergens and found in the freezer section of many grocery chains, including Whole Foods Market.
Jackie Sobon’s Hollandaise
Butter and egg yolks are the key components to the classic hollandaise sauce. This hollandaise recipe was adapted from Jackie Sobon’s Vegan Bowl Attack! We just made a couple of modifications to her recipe. It’s hard to mess with Jackie’s recipe which is already perfection.
Key Sauce Ingredients
Nutritional yeast has a nutty, cheesy, and savory flavor. It’s an inactivated form of yeast that is not the same as brewer’s yeast.
Nutritional yeast is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein that can be found in the bulk section of just about any natural foods store and in many large grocery store chains.
Indian black salt (or kala namak) is known by many names including Himalayan black salt. This volcanic rock salt is pinkish-brown in color and is manufactured in the regions surrounding the Himalayas.
The sulfur compounds in black salt cause the salt to smell like hard-boiled or rotten eggs. Even though the smell is strong at first, it disappears in the final dish.
Black salt is often used in egg-free dishes to give them an eggy taste. You could skip the black salt, however, we strongly suggest using it. Since this hollandaise is not made with the traditional egg yolks, the black salt completes the sauce.
You can find Indian black salt online or at Indian markets.
Hollandaise is so versatile. Who doesn’t love it on grilled vegetables, breakfast potatoes, and Hearts of Palm Cakes, just to name a few.
And eggs benedict just wouldn’t be eggs benedict without the hollandaise!

]]>During the fall we look for any way to use pumpkin. Soft cushions of brioche soaked with a vegan pumpkin custard, make this easy dessert an autumn and holiday showstopper.
We love our favorite allergy-friendly brioche for this bread pudding, but you could use challah, French bread, or other crusty loaf.
Try this old-fashioned dessert that’s never out of style!
Aquafaba
We made two batches of bread pudding, one with flax eggs and one with aquafaba. For this recipe, we preferred aquafaba over flax eggs as the egg replacer.
Aquafaba is the viscous liquid in which garbanzo beans (also know as chickpeas) and other beans have been cooked. In many cases, aquafaba can be used as a replacement for eggs.
Take a 15.5 ounce can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas). Shake the can well. Open and drain liquid into a small bowl, reserving both liquid and beans. There you have the liquid, an amazing egg replacer!
Need an idea for the leftover beans? Try our delicious Chickpea Melt.
Ingredients Needed
Cornstarch, water, vanilla bean (optional), unsweetened alternative milk, pure maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg), sea salt, aquafaba, golden raisins, and allergy-friendly brioche (our favorite is from Rising Hearts Bakery) or other bread.
Follow our recipe below for an easy and amazing autumn dessert that’s sure to be a favorite.

1 (14 to 16-ounce) loaf allergy-friendly brioche, French bread, or other crusty bread cut into 3/4 to 1-inch cubes
Prep
Steps
The best bread for bread pudding is day old. Some gluten-free breads tend to be crumbly. If the bread you are using is crumbly or fresh, cube and spread on a baking sheet. Toast for 6-7 minutes in a preheated 350-degree F oven. If you’re using day-old bread, just cube bread and move on to next step.

]]>A blend of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg fills these muffins with the best flavors of fall.
If you’re looking for a morning muffin recipe that is oil-free and low in sugar, these fruited sweet potato muffins are the perfect guiltless treat!
To make these fruited sweet potato muffins, you’ll need:
Easy Steps in Making Fruited Sweet Potato Muffins
If using a metal muffin pan, use muffin liners to keep this recipe completely oil-free. Some sticking may occur if you use traditional muffin liners, or no muffin liners. We recommend the parchment paper liners for best results.
Sweet Potatoes
We look for sweet potatoes with tapered ends and a bright orange flesh. White sweet potatoes are too dry for these muffins.
Cooking the sweet potatoes can be accomplished by baking, boiling, or steaming. We recommend cooking the sweet potatoes a day ahead or several hours before making the muffins.
By baking the sweet potatoes, the cooking process allows a special enzyme in the potatoes to transform the starches into a natural sugar, making them sweeter than those potatoes that are boiled or steamed. This sweetness naturally means less sugar is needed when making these muffins.
Two Temperatures Are Better Than One!
We start high and then go low. The initial 5 minutes of baking time at 425-degrees F promotes a faster rise for the muffins, making them tall and rounded. The temperature is then turned down for the remaining bake time.

Muffins with the best flavors of fall!
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons flaxseed meal, divided (2 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon)
6 tablespoons water
1-3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
1/2 cup pure cane sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if using a flour blend containing xanthan)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2-3/4 cup unsweetened hemp or gluten-free oat milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup mixed dried fruit (chopped apricots, cranberries, raisins)
Prep
Steps
To store muffins, when they have completely cooled, put a paper towel on the bottom of an airtight container. Arrange muffins in a single layer. Top muffins with another paper towel before putting on the lid. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store in a large ziplock, also lined with paper towels. It’s important to add the paper towels to absorb any moisture the muffins release. This helps keep them fresher longer. To freeze, place in airtight container or large freezer storage bag and store for up to 2 months in the freezer.

]]>There are so many ways to dress up a taco. Such a simple food to which you can add all kinds of veggies, proteins, sauces and salsas.
Taco Tuesday is one of our favorite nights of the week. We can’t ever get enough Mexican food, and tacos are a definite favorite!
Check out our dream tacos…While we lived in Santa Clarita, one of our favorite dining spots was Wolf Creek Brewery. They have the most amazing sweet and spicy roasted butternut squash tacos.
Now that we’re in Las Vegas, the only way we can have our favorite is to replicate those tacos at home. So that’s just what we did!
The sauce is key and the refrigerator chef struck again by raiding the pantry and mixing together sweet chili sauce, molasses, sriracha and minced green onions. This is gonna work!
Cut a large butternut squash into cubes and toss 6 cups with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast cubes in an oven heated to 425°F for about 20-25 minutes until the squash is tender and lightly golden on the edges.
Tortillas Abound!
Heat your favorite corn or flour tortillas. If you avoid or can’t have corn, try “Potapas Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Tortillas. They are grain-free and free from corn and the top 9 allergens. We just found these in the freezer section at Sprouts and they are fantastic! As far as flour tortillas, our favorite are Follow Your Heart Gluten-Free Classic Tortillas. We haven’t found them yet here in Las Vegas, but we’re working on it.
In a large bowl, toss the warm butternut squash with the sauce. Fill 2 corn tortillas stacked together or 1 flour tortilla with about 1/2 cup of roasted squash and top with 1/2 cup creamy coleslaw. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
We hope you enjoy our take on our favorite from Wolf Creek Brewery.
Yield 8 tacos
Free of: gluten and top 9 allergens.
Just in time for Taco Tuesday!
1 large butternut squash (about 2-1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, such as Sky Valley Sweet Chili Sauce
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp minced green onions
2 tsp sriracha
16 corn tortillas or 8 gluten-free flour tortillas
4 cups creamy coleslaw
Chopped green onions, garnish
How to Peel Butternut Squash
To make the squash easier to peel, microwave the whole squash for about 30 seconds.
Lay the butternut squash on its side on a large cutting board. Using a chef’s knife, cut off about ½-inch from the bottom of the squash. Then cut off ½-inch from the stem end. Holding the squash in one hand, use a sharp vegetable peeler in the other hand to peel all of the skin off of the squash, while carefully holding the squash with your other hand. Discard the peel.
Stand the peeled squash upright on the cutting board. If it’s wobbly, make another cut at the bottom to even it out. Make one long cut, down the middle from the top to bottom. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp from the squash cavity.
Lay the squash halves, cut side down on the cutting board. Cut in half crosswise. Working with one piece at a time, cut the squash into 1-inch slices, lengthwise. Lay the slices down (you can stack a few at a time) and make another set of lengthwise cuts. Then cut crosswise to make cubes.

Joel put this together 2 weeks ago with leftovers from the fridge. Yes, the refrigerator chef strikes again! And we’re so obsessed with this dish, we’ve made it twice since!
Cutting Cauliflower
Cutting cauliflower into even pieces can be challenging. Here are a few steps to make it easy.
Why Roast Cauliflower?
Roasting cauliflower really brings out its sweetness and buttery flavor…and the texture is unmatched.
Besides roasting the cauliflower, it’s important to use a marinara sauce versus a canned tomato sauce for a more robust flavor. Not all tomato sauces are created equal.
The first time Joel made this, he used our leftover tomato sauce which is more like a marinara. The second time we used canned tomato sauce, and the third time we used Rao’s marinara. We did not like the second version with the canned tomato sauce as much as the other two. Both the first one with our tomato sauce and last night’s with Rao’s marinara were outstanding!
We hope you enjoy this recipe!
