Apropos of nothing at all… 🍩🍁🇨🇦

• Celiac Safe Maple Cake Doughnuts with Maple Glaze •

Recipe:
(Makes 12, easily halves or doubles)

Doughnuts -
220 grams Cup-4-Cup Gluten Free flour
150 grams maple sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
170 grams water
84 grams coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple extract
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon apple c***r vinegar

Glaze -
114 grams powdered sugar
114 grams maple sugar
114 grams unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons maple extract
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon apple c***r vinegar

Chocolate Drizzle -
114 grams semi sweet chocolate

Method:

Doughnuts:
Preheat Oven to 375; grease two, 6 doughnut pans with coconut oil.
Weigh, sift or mix dry ingredients including sugar in large bowl.
Measure, bring to room temperature, whisk wet ingredients in larger bowl - eggs, then oil, then extracts (stirred into yogurt), then water.
Sift entire dry ingredients over wet mixture, confidently, gently, and exclusively (no stirring or whisking) FOLD* batter, around the side and up the middle while turning the bowl, around the side and up, around the side and up, over and over until there is a consistent batter that doesn’t have any *large lumps of flour small lumps are fine, don’t over work!
Pour half batter into one piping bag, cut tip of bag at desired width (matching the size of your pan’s doughnut rings), fill one pan. Repeat with second half of batter in second piping bag filling second pan.
Bake on center rack for 10-12 minutes until a nice golden brown, the edges pull lightly away from the sides, the tops spring back when touched, and/or a toothpick inserted into the center mass of a doughnut ring comes out clean.
Place on cooling rack and gently loosen edges of doughnuts from pan, then invert (into a baking tray with a little depth catches them nicely, but on a plate or large cutting board will do just fine. Don’t drop your doughnuts!). Set aside to let cool while preparing glaze.
Glaze:
Combine ingredients in large heat proof bowl atop medium saucepan filled with one to two inches of boiling water (ensure water does not touch the bottom of the bowl, and that the size of the saucepan/bowl doesn’t place the bottom of the bowl too far away from the water - you want to ensure even heating without contact with the water).
Stir ingredients together while bringing to a medium-high heat, hot enough to melt sugar but not too hot to burn your butter. Keep mixture moving, test by rubbing the glaze between your fingers and ensuring a smooth, not gritty, consistency.
When the grit is gone the sugar has melted and you’re good to go! Takes about 10-15 minutes.
Dip cooled doughnuts into glaze by holding them at the bottom and swirling the top slightly to ensure an even coating. Be careful not to burn your fingers, you want to dip them while the glaze is still hot!

Drizzle:
Melt one bar of chocolate in double boiler (to ensure it doesn’t overheat)
Pour melted chocolate into piping bag and cut tip to desired width
Drizzle over doughnuts to your heart’s content and dig in!
Doughnuts store well in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, in the fridge for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for up to six months, (but no one will judge you if they disappear suddenly).

🚫🌾🚫

There are FOUR bills in congress right now pushing to protect people with celiac disease or another gluten-related condition.

What do they do?

How do they overlap and how are they different from one another?

The FASTER Act of 2026 (H.R. 9988) would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to include barley, rye, and oats as major food allergens.

This act would also require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to submit a report on the prevalence of celiac disease in the United States, the severity of any allergic reaction in an individual with celiac disease, any gaps in surveillance or collection of data, development of diagnostics for celiac disease, any method of preventing the onset of celiac disease, and development of new therapies to prevent, treat, cure, or manage celiac disease.

The mention of oats sets this one apart, in addition to the research requirements.

The Celiac Safety Act (H.R. 9048) would require the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify all gluten-containing grains as major food allergens.

At this time, the United States only requires manufacturers to list wheat as a major allergen, which does not account for the other gluten-containing grains including barley and rye. If passed, the The Celiac Safety Act will require any product containing wheat, barley, or rye to list “gluten-containing grains” as a major allergen, making it much easier for people to read labels.

This one groups wheat, barley, and rye under one “gluten-containing grain” disclosure.

The Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2026 (H.R. 8385) covers a lot of areas, beyond allergens and disclosures. It includes the addition of the terminology “or gluten-containing grain” following “major food allergen” to existing legislation.

This is a broad food packaging bill that inserts gluten disclosures into overall food labeling laws.

The ADINA Act (H.R. 3821) would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the label of a drug intended for human use to identify each ingredient in such drug that is, or is derived directly or indirectly from, a major food allergen or a gluten-containing grain, and for other purposes.

This bill focuses on medications and prescriptions, where the other ones are related to food labels.
All of these bills are proposed amendments to the current Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

We are thrilled to see advocacy at the national level for the celiac community as well as for people with other gluten-related conditions. We truly hope this momentum leads to improved labeling laws.

What can I do to help?

If you would like to see any, or all, of these amendments passed, you shold find your U.S. Representative (you can look them up at https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative)

Contact their office and ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 9988, H.R. 9048, H.R. 8385, and H.R. 3821.

• Celiac Safe Carrot Cake •

Recipe -

Cake:
425 grams Cup-4-Cup Gluten Free Flour
480g sugar
250g walnuts
375g finely grated carrots
6 large eggs
450ml vegetable oil
100 grams buttermilk
100 grams Greek yogurt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp maple extract
1/8 tsp bergamot extract
1/16 tsp hazelnut extract
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp espresso powder
1/8 tsp ginger
1/16 tsp cardamom
1/32 tsp clove
1/64 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 & 1/2 tsp baking soda

Frosting:
170g butter
270g cream cheese
930g powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 - 1/2 tsp acv
1/8 tsp almond extract

Coloring:
Red-
1 tsp red radish powder
2 tsp pomegranate powder
Purple-
1 tsp elderberry powder
2 tsp purple sweet potato powder
Gold-
1 tsp turmeric

Method:
Bake walnuts in a non-greased cake pan at 350° for 10-12 minutes.
Peel and finely grate carrots.
Grind sugar (if not using “Baker’s sugar”, or Castor sugar) - Set aside 100 grams for flour.
Weigh and sift; flour, raising agents, spices, and, set aside sugar.
Preheat oven to 350°
Weigh and bring to room temperature; eggs, buttermilk, and yogurt (stir extracts and ACV into yogurt. Set aside both buttermilk and yogurt in sealed containers). Weigh oil.
Grease three 8-9’’ cake tins with vegetable oil, place parchment rounds (cut from parchment paper placed atop the bottom of a tin before greasing) in center of each tin and grease the top of the paper. Say that three times, fast.
Whisk together; eggs, then sugar, then yogurt with extracts and ACV, then buttermilk, before stirring in carrots.
Fold in walnuts in three additions.
Sift flour over wet mixture and fold, firmly but gently, (without beating or stirring), until large clumps of flour are gone and batter assumes an even consistency (before it starts to “stretch”).
Divide evenly into prepared cake tins and bake at 325° for I’ll get back to you after eating this and seeing how it came out. (I’m thinking at least an hour, maybe 120 minutes tops… slow and low, check sooner than later, dark tins bake more quickly, look for a dry top that springs back to the touch, the sides pulling away slightly from the tin, a not-too-light/not-too-dark golden-baked color, a toothpick inserted into the center of the sponge comes out clean, and/or and internal temperature reading of 210°.
Let rest no longer than five minutes on cooling rack before turning out of tin. Let cool to room temperature before sealing in a large ziplock bag or encasing in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator to fully cool while making frosting.

Frosting:
Bring butter and cream cheese to 65°.
Cream on low for 1-2 minutes.
Add half powdered sugar and salt, cream on low, then medium until fully incorporated.
Add second half of powdered sugar and extracts, cream on low until fully incorporated, then medium for 5-8 minutes until desired consistency is achieved.

Coloring:
Stir in pomegranate, radish, elderberry, ube, and/or turmeric powders gradually in small amounts for desired appearance and flavor.

Organic Pomegranate Pips

Method:

***A recipe is “Celiac Safe” ONLY if it includes 0ppm of gluten, wheat, or wheat byproducts; contains ingredients sourced solely from dedicated wheat free processing and packaging facilities; AND, is prepared in a wheat free kitchen using bakeware, utensils, and equipment that have never worked with wheat or other gluten containing grains.***

Doughnuts:
Preheat Oven to 375; grease two, 6 doughnut pans with coconut oil.

Weigh, sift or mix dry ingredients including sugar in large bowl.

Measure, bring to room temperature, whisk wet ingredients in larger bowl - eggs, then oil, then extracts (stirred into yogurt), then buttermilk.

Sift entire dry ingredients over wet mixture, confidently, gently, and exclusively (no stirring or whisking) *FOLD* batter, around the side and up the middle while turning the bowl, around the side and up, around the side and up, over and over until there is a consistent batter that doesn’t have any large lumps of flour small lumps are fine, don’t over work!

Pour half batter into one piping bag, cut tip of bag at desired width (matching the size of your pan’s doughnut rings), fill one pan. Repeat with second half of batter in second piping bag filling second pan.

Bake on center rack for 10-12 minutes until a nice golden brown, the edges pull lightly away from the sides, the tops spring back when touched, and/or a toothpick inserted into the center mass of a doughnut ring comes out clean.

Place on cooling rack and gently loosen edges of doughnuts from pan, then invert (into a baking tray with a little depth catches them nicely, but on a plate or large cutting board will do just fine. Don’t drop your doughnuts!). Set aside to let cool while preparing glaze.

Glaze:
Combine ingredients in large heat proof bowl atop medium saucepan filled with one to two inches of boiling water (ensure water does not touch the bottom of the bowl, and that the size of the saucepan/bowl doesn’t place the bottom of the bowl too far away from the water - you want to ensure even heating without contact with the water).

Stir ingredients together while bringing to a medium-high heat, hot enough to melt sugar but not too hot to burn your butter. Keep mixture moving, test by rubbing the glaze between your fingers and ensuring a smooth, not gritty, consistency.

When the grit is gone the sugar has melted and you’re good to go! Takes about 10-15 minutes.

Dip cooled doughnuts into glaze by holding them at the bottom and swirling the top slightly to ensure an even coating. Be careful not to burn your fingers, you want to dip them while the glaze is still hot!

Drizzle:
Melt one bar of chocolate in double boiler (to ensure it doesn’t overheat)

Pour melted chocolate into piping bag and cut tip to desired width

Drizzle over doughnuts to your heart’s contents adorn with pomegranate pips and dig in!

Doughnuts store well in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, in the fridge for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for up to six months, (but no one will judge you if they disappear suddenly).
