Toddler-friendly gluten free ideas?

[lbonga1]

We discovered a gluten intolerance to be a major factor in FI's migraines and severe nausea last year. I'm concerned that DD1 is following in his footsteps as far as food allergies goes. We're also concerned she has ADHD, so I'm hoping a change in her diet will be beneficial. Anyway, anyone have ideas for toddler-friendly gluten-free food/meals?

My kids love zucchini noodles. You just use a spiralizer. Also, spaghetti squash is always a hit.

If you google it, there are lots of recipes for squash pancakes and banana pancakes. Those are a hit here.

Corn-based products are good - tacos, chips, even pasta.

But really, when we go gluten free we just skip the grains and focus on getting good protein, fruits and veggies.

If you want to bread things yourself, nut flours, like almond flour, work well.

For convenience foods there is a brand of fish sticks and chicken nuggets - I think they are Ian's. Not sure, but they are in a yellow box in the gluten free section. My kids love the fish sticks, not so much the chicken nuggets.

We aren't gluten free, but I like to make my own oat flour sometimes. I think it easily substitutes and makes a lot of baked goods taste better.

How do you make it, is it just finely ground oats?

I just grind it.
