Top 12 Recipes of 2012

Allergen-free Recipes

I realize that I’m a bit late to the countdown party, but better late than never, right?

In 2012 we learned that we don’t need sugar to make cake, we don’t need flour to make cookies, eggs don’t have to be in muffins and ice cream can be made with bananas instead of cream. Brownies can be held together with chia seeds, oat cakes can be made without oats, fruit crisps without sugar and rice crispy squares without marshmallows.

I'm ready!

We also learned that removing all of these ingredients doesn’t mean that the end result has to taste like tree bark, Styrofoam or dog food.

Bonus.

I feel like enjoying desserts is the best way to feel normal when you have allergies. If you can indulge in a slice of gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, nut-free, egg-free, soy-free chocolate cake and love it to bits, you’ll learn to embrace your allergies and begin to feel good about yourself and your food choices. It’s no wonder that when I pulled the top 12 recipes for 2012 (as voted by you with your views and shares of the recipe), 11 out of the 12 were dessert recipes.

Without further adieu, let’s get our allergen-free dessert on!
