Today I will offer you some good websites for gluten free resources and some gluten free recipes for your holidays.

Gluten Free Resources

Keto Cookbooks 

There are cookbooks with recipes you can make yourself. I’ve given a couple of them below. In any recipe you can always substitute an equal amount of sugar required for the same amount of monk fruit. Go by your desired amount of sweetness too. 

You can also substitute 1 cup of almond flour for one cup of wheat flour. Coconut flour is a good alternative too. Go with the best consistency. Add in a little “flour” at a time until it looks right for rolling into balls and flattening on a cookie sheet. If it is too crumbly, then you’ve added a bit too much. If it’s a bit too gooey, then you may need to add a little more. Almond milk and coconut milk are good substitutes for cow’s milk too. Additionally, monkfruit is an acceptable natural sweetener that can substitute sugar as a 1:1 ratio in any recipe too.

Gluten Free Recipes

Gluten Free “Sugar” Cookies

These cookies are the best gluten free recipe  for sugar cookies I have found. 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slightly brown the coconut and almonds.

1/2 C coconut flour

1/2 C chopped almonds

1/2 C butter

3/4 C monkfruit

1/4 tsp salt

4 eggs

1/4 tsp vanilla

1 C coconut flakes

Mix all ingredients and put in the refrigerator for about five minutes. Cut out or drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Honey Muffins  

This recipe can be altered to make a variety of muffins.

3 eggs

2 Tbs butter, melted

2 Tbs coconut milk or whole milk

3 Tbs honey (or monkfruit)

1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/4 C sifted coconut flour  (be sure your sifter is free of past gluten flour if allergies are a concern)

1/4 tsp aluminum free baking powder

Blend together eggs, butter, coconut milk, honey, salt, and vanilla. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and thoroughly mix into batter until there are no lumps. Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees F (205C) for at least 15 minutes. Makes 6 muffins.

Note: for lemon muffins omit the vanilla and add two tsp lemon extract.

Chocolate Almond Truffles                                                      

1/2 C almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 Tbs honey or monkfruit

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, shaved or very finely chopped

2 Tbs coconut oil

1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 C finely ground toasted almonds

1. Combine almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Place chocolate in a large bowl and pour hot milk mixture over. Stir with a rubber spatula until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. If some hard pieces remain, put the bowl of chocolate in a pot of very hot water, being careful not to get water into the chocolate mixture, and continue stirring until all of the chocolate melts. Stir in coconut oil, and stir until melted and smooth. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until firm but not hard.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a melon baller, scoop out balls and roll between your palms until even and smooth. Scatter cocoa powder on one plate, and almonds on another. Roll half of the truffles in cocoa to coat; roll the remaining truffles in ground almonds.

3. To serve, arrange on a serving platter or individual plates and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Serves 12 (makes 38 truffles)  Per serving: 183 cal; 3 G prot; 13 G total fat (8 G saturated fat); 19 G carb; 0 mg chol; 9 mg sod; 3 G fiber; 14 G sugars.

If you prefer to spice up your truffles, add 1/2 tsp of chipotle chili powder.

More on Gluten

You can  learn more about the harmful effects of gluten, whether on the autism spectrum or not. Read more  on Gluten and the Brain.

Underlying toxins, pathogens and coinfections cause inflammation on the brain which causes the damage which creates the symptoms of autism. These symptoms in your child can range from inability to focus and learn to their full potential, sleep disorders, irritability and even aggression.

The good news is it is reversible. I have utilized this successfully with my own son even after I was told it was not possible, but I forged on because of my love for him.

I now have over 18 years of autism research to share with you to help simplify the process and get you real results. We work with all of them in my programs, naturally.

Need help knowing what to do to make your child's life a better one? 

As a mother of an autistic child, I understand the worry, frustration, and fear that comes with the diagnosis... and the hopelessness that can stem from failed solutions. Please hear me when I say:

You do not have to settle for behavioral therapies and medications that “manage” symptoms (at best) for the rest of time. There is another way.

In the Naturally Recovering Autism Membership Program, I break down everything A-Z that worked for my son—and thousands of my clients' children—so you can finally, FINALLY, celebrate a solution that works.

This is for informational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or treat. Every child’s level of recovery is different. No two people are the same. It is never implied that all children will have the same outcome. Results are all based on individual biology and the work that is done. This process takes time and various steps, effort and resources need to be weighed. Our programs are intended to help you become more knowledgeable and guide you to help bring your child a better quality of life, whatever that may be. We want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward. Nothing on this page or any of our websites is a promise or guarantee of results or future outcomes. The results on this page and any of our websites are not typical or promised. In fact, there will be people who purchase this and other programs and never put the work into implementing the strategies taught and therefore will achieve little to no results. Our more detailed earnings disclaimer, privacy policy, and terms and conditions for this program and website can be accessed via the links below. We hold ourselves (and you) to a high standard of integrity. We are cheering you on every step of the way.
