It has been some time since gluten allergy, also known as celiac disease, began to be taken more seriously. Many dishes and even restaurants have emerged that strive to offer options for those following this type of diet, and of course, there are many homemade dishes you can cook if you or a family member suffers from this condition. To encourage you to try them, here are 5 gluten-free recipes for celiacs.

If your kids don’t eat gluten, then this recipe is quite appealing and tasty for the palate of little ones who don’t have to give up what they love. Vegan Brownies If you are a fan of sweets and baking, you don’t have to give up that delightful pleasure either. These brownies are made with 100% natural sugars like fig, and instead of using regular flour, they use rice flour which is completely gluten-free. Remember to include walnuts and pistachios to add a crunchy texture to your chocolate dessert; it makes all the difference. Tapioca Dessert Tapioca is a gluten-free food that is highly energetic, making this recipe ideal for children's breakfast or for people who exercise a lot. It includes blueberries and condensed milk, making it a very complete dessert that is also sweet and tangy, very different from the cakes or ice creams we usually eat. Stuffed Squash Blossoms Sometimes we might think that all gluten-free recipes must be variations of other preparations, but in reality, there are countless alternatives that have always been healthy for celiacs. These delicious squash blossoms stuffed with panela cheese are a good example; they are fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For a different result, you can also batter them, getting a crunchy texture.
