Gluten Free Easter Eggs? What a novel idea. I came across this list in the UK. It contains a list companies and Easter Egg candy that is Gluten Free. The companies include Cadbury, Linden Lady Chocolates, Kinder, Kraft and Nestle.

Some of these products should be available in the United States. I hope you find this list helpful.  Homer L. Hartage

Alternatively, you can use EU labelling legislation to choose your Easter Egg. All pre-packaged food bought in the UK are covered by the current EU wide food labelling legislation. This means that a gluten containing cereal used as a deliberate ingredient in a product must appear on the ingredients list, regardless of the amount used.
Manufacturers will name the particular grain i.e. ‘wheat’, ‘rye’, ‘barley’, ‘oats’; or some will use the word gluten as well i.e. ‘wheat gluten’. This information must be declared in the ingredients list, whereas the allergy advice box is only a recommendation (and is not compulsory). Therefore it is important that anyone following a gluten-free diet check both the ingredients list and the allergy advice box.

Release Recipe for Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

 

Orlando, Florida, - Nuchia Foods Corporation has a recipe for a gluten free chocolate chip cookie made from its alternative flour.  Their Original Chia Seed Flour is an all purpose baking flour that does not require any additives plus it is loaded with omega-3, protein and insoluble fiber.  Original Chia Seed Flour bakes and taste remarkably similar to whole wheat. It can be substituted 1 for 1 for highly processed wheat flour.

 

Nuchia Foods Original Chia Seed flour is the only flour of its kind. It is not just ground up Chia Seeds offered by other companies, it is an all purpose alternative flour made from a special process.

 

Nuchia is releasing a full line of Gluten Free Snacks in April and has released the recipe for its Ultimate Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie. You can wait and find it in your stores or try it for yourself.

 

Cookie Recipe

 

Ultimate Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie

 

Ingredients:

 

1 1/2 cup Butter

3 1/2 Cup Organic Brown Sugar

5 1/4 cup Nuchia Original Chia Flour

2 each Eggs

2 tsp Vanilla

1/2 cup water

1 tsp sea salt (a little less)

4 tsp baking power

2 tbs Baking cocoa

2 cup Dark Chocolate (chucks or chips)

 

Instructions:

 

Place soften (not melted) butter, sugar, water, eggs and vanilla in mixing bowl.  With a mixer, mix together until creamy.  2.  Mix dry ingredients and dark chocolate chips together in separate bowl then by hand add to wet mix in portions. Bake 5 to 8 minutes at 325 (modify bake time to make a soft or harder Cookie). We used a convection oven; modify baking time to suit baking conditions.

 

We used a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion cookies, and then rolled them into balls. Batch makes 170 cookies, enough for a gluten free birthday party.
