Ingredients

18 servings

For the gelatin egg

1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
Ingredient note
On a low histamine diet, unflavored gelatin powder is a purified, refined protein, not a long-simmered broth, so it carries little free histamine and the small amount here is likely well tolerated. Sensitivity is individual. If you prefer to always avoid gelatin, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp cold water

For the dough

2 cups cassava flour
2 tbsp arrowroot starch
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp cream of tartar
¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient note
Some low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses a pinch or less per serving. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp fine sea salt
½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla powder
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1
Make the gelatin egg: sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 2 minutes, then set the bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly syrupy, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes — it should be warm but not hot.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
