enjoylifeI have been in contact with the folks at Enjoy Life quite a bit over the last two years. I am always very impressed with how knowledgeable they are about their products and how thorough the site is about by-products and sources.

Decadent Gluten-free Brownies Made with Dark Chocolate

Brownie

These moist, cake-like Brownies are not overly sweet. I used fructose sugar (which I’m told is always derived from corn these days). But if you are not corn-free, I think it is a good replacement for standard refined sugar. I used Baker’s brand chocolate in my version but there are several casein-free brands out there like Elite (which is a Kosher product that is also soy-free), Enjoy Life (GF, CF, MF, soy and Nut free), and Tropical Source (which is also found at Whole Foods and is vegan too).The entire dish takes under an hour to prepare and probably even less to polish off because they are so delicious.

Gluten and Corn-free Snacks

Read our Short List of Allergy Safe Snacks

A message from the Editor:

You are undoubtedly looking for more than just a short post of gluten and corn free snacks if you have an allergy or intolerance to both gluten and corn. All of contents of this page have been moved to a new page entitled: Gluten and Corn free Products List, Healthy-Family’s list of safe foods and beauty products. Please visit our other page for a much better list of gluten and corn free products. We are currently doing a major overhaul of the website. It has grown to be quite expansive and this process will take quite some time. Please leave comments if you find a product is no longer gluten and corn-free. I will make changes on the website to reflect the changes the manufacturers have made with their products. Thanks for understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.

Nana’s Cookies

They offer a wide variety of products to choose from. They claim all of their gluten-free products are also corn-free. Their no-wheat cookies are corn-free as well but contain gluten from barley and oats. Nana’s has confirmed via email message that their aluminum-free baking powder ingredients are not made with cornstarch. UPDATE: Nana’s also confirmed by phone in 2010 that their vanilla is corn free; they use vanilla bean and not vanilla extract. In 2011 their website states that their cookies are corn-free but the ingredient lists ‘natural vanilla extract’ on their cookies. Nana’s also uses xanthan gum in their cookies.
