You don't have to give up some of your favorite baked treats just because you have or someone in the household has food allergies. The key is finding alternative ingredients to those you are allergic to.

Bethenny Frankel of BethennyBakes offer these allergy free substitutes, for example: brown-rice flour instead of wheat flour, mashed bananas or applesauce instead of eggs, non-flavored oil or a softened vegan shortening instead of butter.

These are not just allergy-free, they're nutritionally better, too!
