Bread for my boy

My 3 year old, Tucker, loves to cook with me. Bless his heart, despite all his food allergies, he finds much joy in creating sweet treats (and sampling the ingredients). Finding recipes that will entice him as well as work with our allergy restrictions is always a challenge. (My family will remember the nearly inedible chocolate cupcakes and gummy icing that I created for his first birthday party.) 

Lately, he has been watching a show that must have mentioned eating or baking bread, because he's been asking for it incessantly. "Can we make bread, mama? But not wheat bread. Another kind of bread that I can have." My heart just breaks a little for my munchkin who's never had a slice of bread.

But, man! Bread without wheat, eggs, and (in order to be Sawyer-friendly) dairy and soy? That's a tall order! Then someone reminded me of banana bread. That seemed to be an acceptable option for Tuck. So I searched for a vegan, gluten-free banana bread that wouldn't taste like cardboard. And I found one (here)! And it's actually really yummy!

Love making my little man smile. And I love teaching him that his food allergies don't have to limit him all the time.
