vegan and gluten free blueberry basil cobbler

Blueberry and Basil Oat Cobbler (V/Gf!)

I’m not gonna lie, I’m incredibly proud of this blueberry and basil oat cobbler recipe. It took me weeks to come up with a really good vegan and gluten free dessert that actually felt like a dessert. I went through a few recipes for cookies that either crumbled into piles or tasted more like granola bars. Then I found a cookie recipe that I adapted into the cobbler part of this dish and amped it up with powerful flavors.

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this dish depending on what’s available to you. If you’re shopping for the fruit out of season frozen is likely going to be much cheaper. Frozen berries will take a little longer on the stovetop but you don’t need to change anything else about the prep.

The blueberry keeps the dessert from feeling dry and the basil brings a much needed freshness to the, let’s admit it, bland blueberries. The white chocolate chips add a pop of extra sweetness. Make sure to look for vegan chips or look for allergen friendly ones which will also eliminate eggs, dairy, corn, and soy to make it extra elimination diet friendly! Believe it or not this blueberry and basil oat cobbler is a phase one elimination diet recipe. I wish I had developed it while I was going through dessert withdrawal during my own elimination diet. I was eating dried cranberries trying to trick myself into thinking that was enough. I have a sweet tooth that must be satiated!

That’s right, this is a freaking phase one dessert! A real delicious dessert! I know it’s delicious because my husband ate more than just the one polite, trying my recipes to be supportive, piece. He went back for more, and he’s a baker! So this is a must try dessert for absolutely any diet restrictions that you or your family may have and you’ll likely even return to this blueberry and basil oat cobbler after you’ve finished with your diet.

allergen friendly pesto

Allergen Friendly Pesto

When you’re attempting a diet that’s as restrictive as an elimination diet you are going to have to give up quite a few things. A couple months into mine I got a strong craving for anything pesto. Unfortunately, traditional pesto is almost exclusively things that are eliminated. Parmesan cheese is dairy, pine nuts are out, the usual exchange of walnuts is out, lemon juice is forbidden. Especially for me, apparently I’m one of the few freaks out there allergic to lemons! This is an allergen friendly pesto recipe that takes away all of those triggers and is safe for phase one of an elimination diet.

This pesto is also completely vegan without the parmesan cheese. It’s really versatile and will be able to serve any of your friends’ picky dietary needs. It’s perfect for company and no one will have any complaints!

If you are also eliminating garlic this recipe will survive without it. If you taste it and it lacks punch add a tsp more vinegar. Overall, I think this pesto tastes a bit earthier than others I’ve tried but it still has that strong basil flavor and beautiful green color. I spread it over boneless skinless chicken breasts and baked at 400 for half an hour. I also tossed it with pasta. But feel free to use it any way you would normally use pesto! Once you introduce more ingredients back into your elimination diet it goes absolutely great on a flatbread or instead of nightshade heavy sauces for pizza! It also of course works for the simple and traditional pesto pasta.

So how in the world do you make pesto without 3 of the main ingredients? Turns out, pretty easily. Just get out your food processor and combine together these simple ingredients. Make sure to use high quality fresh basil. You’ll be using a bunch of it, I like to buy mine from the Korean market, they have much better prices on bulk fresh herbs than the Kroger or other chain grocery stores. Take a look at your local specialty markets.

Do not use dried basil! This is not a substitution that can be made for this recipe!

Pesto FAQ

What’s the difference between basil and Thai basil?

A lot! For this allergen friendly pesto recipe you’re going to want to use Italian sweet basil, not Thai basil. You’ll recognize the wide flat leaves, much rounder than the sharp edges of Thai basil. Thai basil also has purple stems while Italian sweet basil is all green.

Italian sweet basil smells slightly peppery or somewhat like the spiciness of cloves. Thai basil smells more like anise. This pesto works best with the sweet basil, the leaves are much more delicate and easily blend into a sauce form. I also like to use sweet basil in this Blueberry and Basil Oat Cobbler.

Is pesto healthy?

This is always a loaded question because it really depends on your dietary needs. This particular allergen friendly pesto sauce recipe is healthy for those who need a lot of substitutions. It is also lower in fat than a lot of other recipes since it uses less fatty seeds instead of nuts, no cheese, and less olive oil. So if you’re looking for a lower fat alternative this recipe is also healthy.

Can you freeze pesto?

Absolutely. I like to make a double batch and freeze half for an easy dinner later on. Simply thaw it out and use like you would any fresh sauce when you’re ready. As with any frozen food make sure to keep an eye on your freezer rotation and don’t leave it to collect frost.

What ingredient is in a traditional pesto sauce?

Basil. Basil is the most important ingredient to make a pesto, pesto.

Is pesto vegan?

Traditionally, no. Parmesan cheese usually makes this recipe not vegan. This recipe, however, uses nutritional yeast and can be safe for a vegan diet.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups packed fresh basil
  • 3 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • 2 tbsp water, if needed

Instructions

                      Baked chicken teriyaki

                      Baked Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple Rice

                      I love chinese food and other asian classics. Teriyaki chicken is a staple. Luckily, you won’t have to veer too far from a traditional recipe in order to have baked teriyaki chicken even on phase one of an elimination diet. The key ingredient is and always will be, brown sugar. The darker the better, you want the sauce to be syrupy and delicious. The main alteration you’ll have to make is substituting arrowroot powder for cornstarch or flour. Arrowroot powder can be found at most grocery stores, it may be called arrowroot flour, just keep your eyes out for it.

                      I also want to let you in on a secret. Chicken thighs are really easy to debone. Stop spending marked up prices on the boneless skinless thighs! All you need is a sharp knife. Just peel the skin off with your hands, lay the thighs flat, bone side up and carefully cut the meat next to the bone. Then cut the bone away from the meat behind it until the bone comes free. It will still have some meat left on it but you can use them and the skin to make some easy chicken broth. So you can stock up on the bone in thighs every time they go on sale and never worry about making one of these recipes again!

                      Caramelized onions add a depth of flavor to this dish and pineapple makes it even more delectable. I like the texture of basmati rice but you can use brown rice or whatever rice you prefer. You could even use rice noodles if that’s what you want! Elimination diet recipes are all about finding substitutions. This recipe will never be carb free because of the sauce but if you want to cut the rice turn it into a salad bowl and serve on cabbage or use cauliflower rice. There is no end to the customizations you can make when cooking for yourself.

                      This baked teriyaki chicken recipe differs from the traditional methods in that it isn’t pan fried. I find baking to be easier and less messy than cooking in a pan. This recipe does have you caramelizing onions in a pan to get that perfect flavor but you can cut them thinner and just bake them with the rest of the dish if you would prefer. The sauce will still make it nice and yummy but you can avoid dirtying an extra dish.

                      This elimination diet version of teriyaki chicken uses coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Soy will likely be forbidden on one of these diets but this easy alternative still provides that dark, salty, umami flavor that soy sauce is used for. I doubt you’ll notice a flavor difference, especially when combined with the rest of the ingredients.

                      Is teriyaki chicken healthy?

                      Depends on your definition of healthy but the short answer could be no. This and most other teriyaki chicken recipes contain quite a bit of sugar which is to be limited on most diets. However, this baked teriyaki chicken recipe is a “healthier” adaptation that can be used for an elimination diet, gluten free diets, and anyone avoiding numerous food allergies. It also avoids the extra fat from pan frying and saves a few calories in that respect.

                      To make the recipe even healthier I suggest the simple trick of adding more veggies to your plate. Steamed broccoli goes great with the sweet sauce and green onions can be added on top. Cabbage is almost always welcome in asian style dishes like these as well. Get creative and balance out the sugar with lots of fiber to feel good about feeding this meal to your family.

                      Sweet and Tangy Roasted Vegetables

                      These sweet and tangy roasted vegetables are a super easy side dish to throw together for almost any meal. The balsamic vinegar and honey bring out tons of flavor and the cauliflower absorbs it all quite well. I love making this quick prep side knowing that it’s so low in calories I could eat double portions of it without feeling bad! Cauliflower is perfect for that.

                      If you don’t have baby carrots, or simply don’t want to buy separate carrots from the ones that are likely already on your shopping list, simply cut large peeled carrots into 1 inch rounds. The cooking time should be about the same as if they were baby carrots. Similarly, don’t cut the cauliflower too small. Just break it apart into its natural florets, this will keep it from burning faster than the carrots are able to cook.

                      I actually really like using my air fryer for this recipe. I know that most people may not have one but if you do put it on the roast setting and lower the temperature from 400 to 375, check it and stir about halfway through. I’ve found that sometimes the air fryer cooks things a good bit faster and you don’t want the cauliflower to be too burnt!

                      Honey, and any sugar, will aid in achieving that lovely golden brown color that makes the sweet and tangy roasted vegetables so appetizing. Don’t be alarmed if this side dish looks a little on the darker side, it will still taste amazing! If you are worried about it getting too dark simply tent the baking tray with foil. If you like your veggies a little more al dente you can also cut the cooking time a little short.

                      What is balsamic vinegar?

                      What’s a balsamic anyway? Balsamic vinegar is a vinegar made mostly or entirely out of crushed grapes, skins included. It has a deep brown color and a rich flavor that pairs well with both savory and sweet. Traditional balsamic vinegar is aged at least 12 years. However, you’ve likely only had the cheaper version available at your grocery store. The more common, much less expensive varieties have still been made from grapes but have not be aged.

                      Health benefits of cauliflower

                      Cauliflower is loaded with fiber and vitamin C. You may think of citrus fruits as being the main source for vitamin C but cauliflower has a whopping 58% of the daily value in just one cup. Additionally, it’s very low in calories with only 27 per serving. I often eat way more than one cup at a time completely guilt free.

                      Ingredients
                        

                      8 oz baby carrots

                        1 head of cauliflower

                          2 tbsp olive oil

                            2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

                              2 tbsp honey

                                1 tsp dried rosemary

                                  1 tsp salt or to taste

                                    1/4 tsp black pepper

                                      Instructions
                                       

                                      preheat oven to 400 degrees F

                                        chop cauliflower into medium flourettes

                                          whisk together seasonings minus the salt

                                            slowly add in the salt tasting after each addition, this will get it to your desired taste, you can always add more as well

                                              toss the veggies with the dressing

                                                place dressed veggies on a foil lined baking sheet using a slotted spoon to avoid too much excess dressing and roast for 18-20 minutes, until the edges of the cauliflower start to turn brown

                                                  serve hot

                                                    Edamame Protein Dip

                                                    I’ve mentioned before my love of dips. I honestly think dipping something crunchy into something soft is the best snacking experience. Many people limit their dipping to parties but with this ultra healthy superfood edamame protein dip recipe you can treat yourself completely guilt free at home any time. Keep in mind that this is not a phase one elimination diet recipe!

                                                    This recipe does contain edamame, a soy product as well as a legume. It’s a great way to test soy in your elimination diet without having to make an entire tofu dish. Many soy products can be a healthy addition to any diet. Especially because they pack a ton of protein into a small package. Edamame can be a welcome change from traditional bean dips and they also contain as much fiber as the other legumes would.

                                                    I used both frozen edamame and broccoli for this recipe. I like to buy the shelled edamame, also known as mukimame, and take some of the effort out of the preparation but it does make this edamame protein dip just slightly more expensive than buying the soy peas in the shells. Frozen broccoli cuts and florets are fairly cheap and this is a great way to use them since it’s normally not as appetizing to eat the cut chunks by themselves as a side.

                                                    Green tea adds an extra antioxidant boost with a mild earthy flavor. I can assure you that this snack is unlike other dips you’ve tried. When you bring it to a party and people as “what’s the recipe” please send them to my site 😉

                                                    I found the inspiration for this recipe in a cookbook that billed this as a low fat guacamole. I changed quite a few things but I would never tell you that edamame and broccoli could ever disguise themselves as avocados. Avocados are magic and unique and even though I’m allergic to limes I will never give up guacamole. This is not guacamole. This is, however, a delicious dip in its own right that is packed with vitamins, fiber, and protein. Someone get the health nuts together and tell them to stop naming things after better things that already exist!

                                                    Speaking of guacamole, try my nightshade and citrus free version of pineapple guacamole.

                                                    Edamame FAQ

                                                    What is edamame?

                                                    Edamame is whole, young, green soybeans. Typically it is served in the pod.

                                                    Is edamame a vegetable?

                                                    Yes. Edamame is a vegetable and is even referred to a vegetable soybeans as an alternative title.

                                                    Is edamame keto?

                                                    Not exactly. As a legume they are typically excluded from keto diets. However, the high fiber carbon offsets a high percentage of the carbohydrates making its net carbs relatively low. A strict keto diet will eliminate edamame but a more casual one could allow it.

                                                    Can you eat edamame pods?

                                                    No. The outer shells are not edible.

                                                    Can dogs eat edamame?

                                                    Yes. Edamame is safe for dogs to eat but should not make up a substantial portion of their diet.
