I make these King Arthur Flour brownies all the time for them (there are instructions on box to be dairy free in addition to GF) and they are so good! I like them better than all the other brownie mixes at the supermarket. </p> [attach=141/16/o0zy3k.449x423.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2423057 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 08:38:10 +0000 Pumuckl 2423057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: really any gf flour should work. With almond flour I'm not sure - it might make it sweeter so you might want to cut back on the sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422737 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 21:03:18 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2422737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Black bean brownies or black bean cake. Good and healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422728 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:59:15 +0000 autumnleaves 2422728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422726 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:58:41 +0000 autumnleaves 2422726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I will. Lemon tarts would probably work well for the shower. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422724 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:57:47 +0000 autumnleaves 2422724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: thanks - these look great. Did you use a specific gf flour? Do you know if almond flour would work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422437 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 16:29:50 +0000 Pumuckl 2422437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made these Monday for my daughter's daycare and they were GF and DF.<br /> Fanta Cupcakes<br /> 2 1/2c gf flour<br /> 1 1/3c sugar<br /> 4 eggs<br /> 1 tbs gf baking powder<br /> Vanilla aroma (just very little)<br /> Orange aroma or orangeskin peel<br /> 1c oil<br /> 1c orange lemonade (hence fanta cupcakes/muffins)</p> <p>Whisk everything but the flour and baking powder together then slowly add those two ingredients in. Portion and bake for 20' at 370.</p> <p>The gas in the carbonated lemonade makes it nice and fluffy which is otherwise always a little tricky when baking GF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422359 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 15:48:39 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2422359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out the brand Hail Merry. They have great allergy friendly desserts! Especially their lemon tarts. I was obsessed with them when DD was MSPI while breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422304 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 15:29:51 +0000 gingerbebe 2422304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe Duncan Hines frostings are both vegan and gluten free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2422041 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:58:06 +0000 littlejoy 2422041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so nice you're supporting her! :) Pinterest is my go-to for things like this.

I think the name brand has malt in them. You can find alternatives at Whole Foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2421604 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:54:58 +0000 autumnleaves 2421604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: thank you. I was thinking of rice crispy treats as a possibility. Do you know if regular marshmallows are ok? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2421598 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:51:34 +0000 autumnleaves 2421598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: that was one of the recipes I was looking at - happy to know it turned out yummy!

My gluten free/dairy free friends love it. they also made black bean brownies which were tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2421352 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:01:34 +0000 yin 2421352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made the carrot cake recipe from Gimme Some Oven, and it is delicious! My kids love it, and it's fairly simple to make. Your best bet will probably be home made. Whole Foods will sometimes carry vegan baked goods (only specific stores have it) but not gluten free and vegan from my experience. Gluten free items are made in a separate facility and usually found in the frozen aisle. </p> <p>Cherrybrook Kitchen and Enjoy Life make vegan and gluten free boxed mixes. Cherrybrook is just okay, and I haven't tried Enjoy Life because it's really pricey.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/vegan-gluten-free-carrot-cake-recipe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/vegan-gluten-free-carrot-cake-recipe/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2421350 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 08:59:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2421350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of my gluten free friends really enjoy wacky cake! I actually really like it too, it's a moist chocolate cake. I can't remember if there's milk in it but you can always sub for soy/almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dessert-ideas-for-gluten-free-dairy-free-baby-shower#post-2421343 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 08:55:39 +0000 autumnleaves 2421343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are throwing my friend a baby shower with a peter rabbit/garden theme and she is on a gluten free dairy free diet. Does anyone have recommendations for desserts - from scratch or store bought cake mixes or store bought cakes (maybe Whole Foods)? I am thinking of making a gluten free/dairy free carrot cake or vanilla cupcakes but I have no experience with this and want to try to find a good recipe or cake mix for the cake and the frosting. I'm also open to brownies or a something other than cake but I don't want it to be super sweet. Thanks for your help. </p>
