Allergy Friendly Grain-free Dessert Recipes without Nuts
When I temporarily eliminated grains, nuts, eggs and dairy from my diet as part of the autoimmune protocol, I had a brief moment of despair. If you follow a grain-free diet, I’m sure you can empathize. The lack of readily available allergy friendly dessert options can sometimes feel like punishment! Though I was no stranger to gluten-free and dairy-free baking, the whole no grains and no nuts thing presented new challenges.
I found myself wondering, “can you make grain-free desserts without nuts?” I scoured the internet for to find grain-free desserts without almonds or eggs but it felt like slim pickings. I set out to create a collection of my own!
And so is the story of how I started this blog, and my online grain-free baking school, Grain Free Academy!

Description
The best dairy-free, grain-free dessert recipes to make at home! Print the recipe for thick and chewy nut-free, grain-free salted caramel blondies below.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup coconut butter, melted
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 gelatin egg (1 TBSP gelatin + 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar + 1/4 cup hot water)
Salted Caramel
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- flaky salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a pan of your choice with parchment paper. I recommend a 9 x 6 pan. An 8×8 baking dish works too but the blondies will be a bit thinner.
- In a large bowl combine cassava flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt.
- In a small bowl mix together liquified/melted coconut butter, melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add in the wet ingredients and combine. The batter will be quite thick.
- Make gelatin egg by first combining gelatin and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Next, add in hot water slowly, using a fork to quickly whisk mixture until frothy and gelatin is fully combined.
- Fold gelatin egg into batter. This should loosen the batter up a bit.
- Transfer batter into parchment lined baking pan and use a spatula to lay it flat.
- Bake for 22 – 24 minutes in the middle rack of your oven.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool 10 minutes before topping with caramel and flaky salt.
Salted Caramel Sauce
- To a small saucepan over medium heat add coconut cream, coconut sugar and salt and stir until combined.
- Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring intermittently. If using full fat coconut milk, process will take closer to 35 minutes.
- The sauce is ready once it has reached a dark amber color and is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
Assembly
- Once brownies have cooled at least 10 minutes, pour caramel sauce over the brownies to coat the surface. Use a soon or a spatula to spread the caramel in an even layer.
- Cut blondies into squares and sprinkle flaky salt on top.
