So many children and adults are gluten-intolerant and the numbers are growing. It isn’t easy to find delicious gluten-free sweet treats in traditional bakeries. If you’re gluten-free, you should be completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, and triticale, as well as the use of gluten as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent. Several grains and starch sources are considered acceptable for any one that need gluten-free. The most frequently used are corn, potatoes, rice, and tapioca (derived from cassava). Other grains and starch sources generally considered suitable for gluten-intolerant include amaranth, arrowroot, millet, montina, lupin, quinoa, sorghum, sweet potato, taro, teff, chia seed, and yam. Various types of bean, soybean, and nut flours are sometimes used in gluten-free products to add protein and dietary fiber.
In spite of its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat; pure buckwheat is considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet, although many commercial buckwheat products are actually mixtures of wheat and buckwheat flours, and thus not acceptable. Gram flour, derived from chickpeas, is also gluten-free, not the same as Graham flour made from wheat.

Are you aware that organic virgin cold-pressed coconut oil which is VERY good for you and is easily digested? Studies indicate it can help kill bacteria and yeast, promote healthy heart function, regulate cholesterol levels, fight viral infections and boost metabolism. Instead of using canola oil, I use organic virgin cold-pressed coconut oil and it adds another dept of flavor. I also will not use refined sugar or soy. However since I do bake with coconut oil and the FDA has deemed coconut oil as a tree nut this product cannot be considered nut free.
