Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Chocolate Chip Nut Tart



I was craving an after-dinner treat and came up with this sweet dessert. It has a light flaky crust and a gooey topping of chocolate, walnuts and coconut. I couldn't wait for it to cool when it came out of the oven so it fell apart as I was eating it. But I didn't care. It was that good!

Ingredients
1 cup gluten-free flour blend
2 T coconut oil
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup flaked coconut

Directions
Mix flour, coconut oil, egg, and sugar until well-blended. Press into ungreased pie dish. Evenly place chocolate chips, walnuts, and coconut on top of crust and lightly press into crust. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Cut into wedges. Makes 4-6 servings.
