Cinnamon toast crunch cupcakes

So obvoiusly cinnamon toast crunch cereal is not gluten free, but you can sub it for a chex cinnamon cereal. This is a bit more tricky to convert but they really did come out well. Again ill give you the orginal, gluten free and dairy free way to make these to fit whatever diet or allergies you or your family may have.

Cupcake mix
3 eggs
Dairy free use egg replacer or apple sauce
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup butter milk
Dairy free butter milk is a 3/4 cup of soy milk with a tbs of viniger allow it to sit for 10 mins
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour creme
Bit tricky but I just thickened up some soy milk with corn startch, or u can make a dairy free buttermilk ( 3/4 cup soy milk with a tbs viniger allow to sit 10 mins) or use a soy yogurt instead
Vanilla cake mix store bought
(So for gluten free here's how to make your own replacer for all recipies that call for store bought cake mix
2 1/2 cups gluten free flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
When using for a vanilla cake mix add 1 tsp of vanilla in addition to what your recipie calls for)

Preheat to 350
combine eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla
Add sour creme
Add cake mix and cinnamon mix till smooth
Bake for 15 to 18 mins

I did not use this frosting I did a regular buttercreme frosting subing the milk for soy milk and add 2/3 cup crucshed cinnamom chex but for non gluten free it would be cinnamon toast crunch crushed up

Cinnamon toast crunch butter creme frosting
8 oz creme cheese
1/2 cup soft butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup cinnamon toast crunch crushed up
After cupcakes are cooled frost them and garnish with a piece of cereal in the frosting

Dinner and desert

Betty crocker gluten free cookie mix. After reading the ingredients i realized they were also dairy free. Score. Halayna cant have dairy either, but a problem it calls for two eggs and yep you guessed it no eggs shes allergic. I decided to go home and play around with it anyways. I have egg re-placer on hand always do butt his seemed dry as mixed and needed something else. So i used half of a apple sauce. Like the ones you pack in your kids lunch. And followed the rest of the directions. Success and they were yummy event the non allergy kids at the birthday party wanted to eat them. Which they were able to have one only because there was nothing else at the party desert wise that Halayna could have. It was quick and easy in a pinch and tasted good, but I like the from scratch better just because I then know everything that goes in it.

On to the main dish. Gluten free dairy free home made mac and cheese.
This one made me nervous, but while at the grocery i found a soy based cheese. Oh my excitement. Halayna loves cheese and ate it daily until we found the dairy allergy. So I had to try making mac and cheese. So instead of soy milk as our base we had to use almond milk. Halayna can not have the soy due to the high vitamin B count and well her body is allergic to vitamin B. So I did the corn starch and dairy free gluten free butter to make the thickining agent (just like you would for the original )  But used almond milk. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg along with my salt and pepper to taste. Its hard to tell you how much to use it depends on you really. Some dont like these strong spices but the worked great with the almond milk, also added a bit of the soy based cheese in the sauce. ( we like it cheesy) . Okay so in the other pot I had my gluten free noodle cooking. After the sauce got thick I did the usual, I grated up the soy based cheese put it on top. I baked at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes just until the cheese melted and served it. It was pretty good. And I am sure it will be made again so miss allergies can still have what she loves when she will eat by mouth.
