This is a great gluten-free, dairy-free sweet casserole option for the holidays!
Using almonds and chia seeds rather than grains, and coconut milk and oil in place of dairy-based ingredients, this is an allergy-free friendly recipe that you can add to your holiday list with confidence that it will satisfy the pickiest (and allergy-free) palette. Since it’s rich in sugar, I don’t recommend this one on a regular basis but it’s a great option for that special menu night.
