    Does anyone have any good wheat-free bread and/or cookie recipes?  Or any wheat-free recipes, for that matter?  My 6 yo dd was just diagnosed with a wheat & rye allergy.  I'm trying to keep her diet as normal as possible, but wheat is in so many things!  I'd love to find some really good recipes that the whole family can enjoy -- and I can afford to make.  Buying special 'wheat-free' items at the grocery is totally blowing our budget.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!!

    In the place of traditional flour you can use brown rice flour, this is a wheat free alternative or there is corn flour as well.

    There is a gluten-free web site that helps with alternatives. There is also a Gluten free for dummies book that helps alot. My son is gluten free and I don't eat breaad because I have the Lap-band. We choose to do Cheese crisps, french friend onions for a treat, and eat almonds for added crunch.  I am not sure why you don't want wheat but I hope this is helpful. I can look up the flour alternative if you need. I make it ahead so I never remember the recipe off hand. I can look it up though. Hope this helps.

    I like your ideas for treats.  I'll have to try that.

    Almond flour is an option, but not a very cheap alternative to flour. 


    Here's another option - Flour Free Peanut Butter Cookies


  • 2 cups peanut butter

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract





    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

    3. In a medium bowl, stir peanut butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Press a criss-cross into the top using the back of a fork.

    4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
