When we first had to go dairy free 7 years ago it was a hard change for our family. We love all things dairy!! We found out our daughter had a dairy protein intolerance and it was making baby sick, so I changed my diet. Along the way I have learned a lot and I learned that we can still enjoy yummy things even when they don’t have dairy in them! (Read about dairy intolerance shopping tips here) So I thought I would share a few of our favorite go to recipes for breakfast or snack time!
3 Awesome Dairy Protein Intolerance Recipes

- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1 C. unsweetened applesauce
- Cream together butter, sugar and egg or applesauce.
- Mix together all dry ingredients.
- Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients.
- Then add and mix well 1 C. applesauce.
- Bake in greased tube pan for 50-60 minutes or muffins for 30 minutes.
Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

- Take out and use knife to go around bread in pan. Give it about 15 minutes and flip out of pan and let finish cooling.
- Muffins: Preheat oven for muffins at 350 and bake for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- I usually use canola oil instead of non-dairy butter and applesauce instead of eggs. The bread turns out wonderful either way!
- You can use the same measurements for pecans in place of chocolate chips.
- You can use same measurements of banana’s for other fruit as well.
Peanut Butter Cookies (makes 2 dozen cookies)
- 1 C. peanut butter
- 1 C. sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix all ingredients together in bowl until well blended.
- Scoop out small 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- These will come out looking puffy, but will flatten as they cool.
