If you know someone who needs to be gluten and/or dairy-free this holiday season, surprise them with a treat they can eat! Once they get over the shock of your thoughtfulness, they will simply delight in the yumminess of your creation. (Or, gift them to yourself – you deserve it!)
To get an idea for the Attune Foods December theme of “holiday gift recipes”, I turned to my mom and her recipe box. I love when she pulls out a tattered 3×5 notecard — you know that the more stained the card, the tastier the outcome will be. When I asked her if she had a special cookie recipe that she remembered fondly, she offered one of those well-used cards. She made these bar cookies often, but I of course have adapted them to be gluten-free, dairy-free and also nut-free by using Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal in place of the chopped nuts.

Gluten-free and dairy-free desserts are very hard to come by. If you have gluten and dairy issues then you know just how problematic this can be. Great recipe and I love chocolate so I can’t wait to try this one! Bravo!

I love your sight. After years of being sick, I have finally decided to make myself gluten free and I am feeling good for the first time in a long time. Thanks for your awesome sight! Can’t wait to keep exploring and learn even more!
