Allergy Friendly Treat!

Chocolate Cranberry Bars

Here is a recipe I created for Chocolate Cranberry Bars.  They are gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, and nut free.  I made the bars food allergy friendly so my sister could enjoy them.  But, don't let that turn you away, they are still delicious!  People with no food allergies gave great feedback too.  Let me know what you think :)

Chocolate Cranberry Scones

1/4 cup coconut flour
1 cup gluten free oat flour (I ground whole oats in a food processor to make oat flour)
1/2 cup rice flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa
Pinch of salt
6 Tbsp. coconut milk
1 banana
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening (the only soy free vegetable shortening I could find)
1/4 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chips (dairy, nut, egg, gluten, and soy free chocolate chips)
1/4 cup craisins
Extra oat flour for kneading

1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.  Be sure to mix well so you don't get any "baking soda bites".

2. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl.  I used a KitchenAid.

3. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet.  This is where the KitchenAid comes in handy.  After it's mixed, add the craisins and chocolate chips.

4. Poor dough onto a floured surface.  I used a silicone mat with oat flour on top.  The dough will be slightly wet, so you have to knead the dough with the extra oat four.

5. Shape the dough into a circle and cut it like a pie.

6. Place the bars on a baking sheet and bake on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
