Contains: FIVE ingredients:

Does NOT contain: egg, baking soda, baking

Inspired by a recipe from a fellow FPIES mom (and her blog),
and her recipe for Merry Muffins, I learned to create several baked treats from
just this ONE recipe! I took the
ingredients and substituted my son’s safe ingredients and then used these to
make not only the muffins safe for my son,
but found that I could vary these
few ingredients and make other things such as pancakes, crackers, and cookies.
A valuable thing that
FPIES has taught me is how to be more creative (and brave!) with my
baking. One of these lessons is how to
take a recipe and scale it down to a small amount of ingredients so that when I
experimented, if it was a flop, I wasn’t losing as much of the high-cost/harder
to obtain “safe” foods.
During one of my experiments with varying ingredients, and
after we found a safe chocolate chip, I created a chocolate chip cookie that my
son loves, perhaps by sharing my recipe, it can help you come up with
something that can become a favorite for
you too!
