Why it works
- Celiac disease: The crumb base is pure almond flour, so there is no wheat, oats or store-bought crust anywhere in it.
- Milk allergy: Coconut cream and cashews make the creamy filling; no milk, butter or cream cheese touches it.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
