Allergy Friendly Baked Churro Balls

Gluten Free, Dairy Free & Egg Free Baked Churro Balls with Soulbee Honey

I always prefer using honey over sugar whenever a recipe calls for a sweetner. So when I saw SoulBee Honey product range, I was super excited.

The honey powders come in different flavors. Their honey products are also available in flake form too. They were kind enough to send me a free sample of their honey powder.

SoulBee Honey Powder has many benefits:

  • Can be used as a sugar substitute, as a natural and healthier alternative.
  • Substitution can be done without worrying about measurements as it is dry and can be used on 1:1 ratio.
  • Can be turned into liquid honey, if desired.
  • Since it's honey, there are numerous health benefits too
  • Available in US and more recently in Canada(through Amazon).

SoulBee Sweet Fact

1% of all proceeds are donated to Planet Bee Foundation which works with schools, nonprofits, summer camps, environmental centers, community gardens and businesses to build awareness and care for honey bees and the environment by providing hands-on, educational workshops.

When I first tasted the powder, there was only a subtle difference in taste than the sugar. The kids did not notice any difference at all.

Thinking how to use this powder in my cooking, since it's a honey powder, its naturally going to be sweet, so I decided to make a dessert. I have not made Churros in a while and they seemed a good recipe to use the honey powder in.

These gluten free, dairy free and egg free baked Churro balls are coated with a mixture of honey powder from SoulBee Honey, brown sugar and cinnamon. However, I gave a different shape to the Churros than their usual cylindrical style and baked them to make them more healthier.

Baked Chicken Kebab Skewers

April 19, 2019 S Malik 2 Comments

serving Baked Chicken Kebab Skewers

These allergy friendly baked chicken kebab skewers are also called Espetada Chicken. Estepada is a Portuguese term for food that is cooked on a skewer. It can be meat, fish or even chicken. Espetada Chicken is also a famous Nando's recipe, where the chicken is skewered along with vegetables.

Here I have recreated this recipe, of course with little tweaks to make it according to our diet requirements.

Marinate the meat with all the ingredients then thread on to a skewer and grill or bake as you wish. I did not have capsicum so I just used onions and tomatoes but feel free to use any veggies you like.

These kebabs are usually served with rice but I like to switch things up, so I served with fries. Wedges or dairy free baked potatoes can be healthier options for a side.

  • 1 hour 55 mins
  • Serves 5
  • Easy

Ingredients

Adjust Servings:
1 lb boneless chicken
2 capsicum (cubed)
2 tomatoes (cubed)
2 onions (cubed)
Marinade
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons peri peri sauce
1 tablespoon mustard powder
5 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons dairy free milk
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs

Easy Cream Puffs

Easy Allergy Friendly Cream Puffs

These allergy friendly, gluten free and dairy free cream puffs are amazingly easy to make. Usually when I make these kind of baking goods they are a complete disaster, however, this one was very easy to make and turned out quite good for an allergy friendly version, if I say so myself. My kids helped me make these. They poured in the ingredients as I stirred and then made balls. Once the puffs cooled, they filled it with the icing too. I used Cake Mate Cupcake Icing, that comes in a spray can ready to be used, along with icing tips. This icing does not have any of the ingredients that my kids are allergic to. If you find that you can not use it, you can use whipped cream or icing of your own choice or use the puffs in a savory recipe.

There are not many ingredients in the recipe. The chicken is coated with seasoned gluten free flour and then baked to give it a healthier twist. I have not tried this but you can probably air fry them too. The servings can be reduced or increased according to your needs.
