EXPERT TIPS & TRICKS

For the gluten free brownie mix I use King Authur brand. Its dairy free and gluten free.


For the gluten free flour I use Bobs Red Mill 1:1 but I’ve also used cup4cup in baking and its a very similar, successful cup for cup gluten free flour.

If your bananas are over ripe it is OK to freeze them instead of throwing them out. Then you can defrost them when youre ready to create for this recipe. Just leave them out until theyre soft and fully defrosted or microwave them for 30 seconds or until fully soft.

Hey y’all!


I’m Kayla. I’m both gluten free and tree nut free, and also lactose intolerant. I live just outside New York City in Hoboken. I work in fashion in my professional time and LOVE to cook in all the rest of my time.

I try to eat incredibly healthy. I am 30 ish years old and only in the past 6 years have I been diagnosed as celiac (gluten free, wheat free), lactose intolerant (dairy free) and all my life knew I was allergic to tree nuts (not peanuts). I started my blog to help navigate my journey into finding good foods and healthy recipes, while still of course keeping to my strict dietary needs.

I like experimenting with recipes to make every meal as healthy as possible while still taking my allergies, and other’s allergies, into account!
