Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

These apple everything-free cookies had a strange grainy aftertaste. Which is a shame, because they're almost a win otherwise. Soft, tasty, gluten- and dairy- and tyramine-free. But I'm done with them once this box is emptied. Maybe I'll bake for myself next.

Anyone here have cake or cookie recipes where you can substitute wheat flour for just one thing? I mean, not 1/2 oat and 1/2 rice, or needing to add xanthan gum?

They don't even have to be wheat-free versions of anything. They can just be what they are.

Tangentially, can you label yourself allergen-free? Wouldn't one just mean "so far"?

There's a recipe for a quinoa cookie thing on the side of the package of quinoa flakes I have. It sounds like it would come out kind of like oatmeal cookies. I haven't tried it yet but I plan to.

some gluten-free cookies I had were also weirdly grainy.

ita, if you can tolerate spelt, I have had pretty good success in cookies and waffles with a 1-to-1 substitution of spelt flour for wheat. It is fluffier than wheat, so the texture is a little off, but not bad. It doesn't have much gluten, so bread and stuff would be more affected.

If by weirdly grainy you mean texture sort of sandy, then that's probably the rice flour.

I made Trader Joe's gluten-free brownies the other day (my celiac diseased sister & nephew were visiting) and they were quite tasty.

Rice flour shortbread is excellent, for the record.

Sparky! I found the program for your wedding while I was packing last night!

My standard response to "Do you have any allergies?" is "Not that I'm aware of."
