Some of the best and easiest gluten free baking recipes can be made without the use of any grains at all.
Although corn meal, rice flour, and other gluten free grains are permissible on a gluten free diet and can be used for baking, many people think they actually feel best when they eliminate all grains from their diet. Some feel that grain may be contributing to inflammation in the body and may be a culprit for joint pain, eczema, arthritis, fatigue, etc.

The Paleo diet, a popular healing diet, eliminates all grains and many Paleo bloggers have found easy and delicious ways to bake without grains.
Because I recently decided to eliminate grains from my diet, I have been on the look out for recipes. Grain free baking can taste just as good as regular baked items.
I made the switch after reading two bestselling books
Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health
Grain Brain- Dr. Perlmutter
Both books explain the health concerns and weight problems that are felt to be caused by today's genetically modified grains which in their new forms can contain 3 times the carbohydrate content from what our parent's grains contained. ( this sets us up for weight gain and other problems) not to mention the toxic foreign substances that the body doesn't recognize in GMO Corn, Soy, Wheat which are three big offenders.

The books are worth the read. Sometimes what you don't know ( especially about our changing food industry) might hurt you.
The good news is that even if you choose to eliminate grains from your diet, you can still make and enjoy grain free baking which is absolutely easy and delicious You can still enjoy your breakfast pancakes, muffins, breads, cakes, cookies, donuts that are made from grain free alternatives from real food that contributes to health and not ingredients that drain your health.
Coconut flour and almond flour are two excellent choices for alternatives to grain and are used on the Paleo diet. For those not following the Paleo diet but would still like to eliminate grains, many bloggers use black beans in cake, brownies, and cookie recipes.
Recipe
Coconut flour is available in most health food stores and many supermarkets in the gluten free section. Almond flour is usually available in most health food stores. Black beans and white beans can be found in all supermarkets.
Coconut flour is not a grain , and it is made into a great tasting low carb flour. It does require more liquid or eggs in it's recipes, since it can be dry otherwise. But these recipes are made specifically for coconut flour which is available at any health food store or Whole Foods.
Some of the gluten free recipes use beans, almond flour or almond butter.
These recipes are from a variety of blogs to help introduce you lots of gluten free recipe sites where you can find additional gluten free recipes.
