Healthy and Allergy Free Baking Substitution - A Bountiful Love

Healthy and Allergy Free Baking Substitution

Happy Monday sweet readers of mine. On almost all of my posted recipes, I try to use a healthier substitution on some of the ingredients. Not just the cheaper substitute but also the substitute that is hip friendly. I get it, I'm a momma of two growing and active girls, and serving healthy meals is a mission of mine.

I have also met and have some friends that get discouraged over allergies that they or their kids have. It is a challenge, I totally understand but don't let it limit you in the kitchen. Here are a few basic ingredient substitutions that you can use. Don't forget to download the free printable, print it, and display it on your fridge for easy reference.

  2. We do sometimes substitute for something healthier, and need to avoid allergens for one particular family member. More often than not, though, I substitute because I forgot to pick something up at the store. These lists might be a life saver. Thanks!

  5. What a great list!! This is really helpful for those of us that need to bake allergy free. It's especially hard with Gluten Free flours. They all perform so differently than regular flour!
