The Natural Heaven brand is ok as of now.Kelp noodles, another secondary ingredient blended into this mac n' cheese casserole dish, are a product that has become very popular these days in raw vegan recipes. Make sure to find a brand that doesn't have any non-AIP ingredients, like citric acid.
Hearts of Palm Pasta – these won't be elbow shaped, but they are storebought. However, if you cannot find it, here are some alternatives: And as of the time I write this, they are the only AIP elbow pasta that I know of that you can purchase. Unfortunately, I do know sourcing the Jovial Foods Cassava Flour Elbow Pasta can be difficult or impossible for some of you.

Pasta – see the next section for alternatives to store-bought cassava flour elbows. Sugar is ok – it's used for curing, as well as naturally occurring nitrates and nitrites. Bacon – um, yeah, one would need this in a Bacon Mac and Cheese, right? Bacon is allowed on AIP as long as you get clean bacon made without a whole bunch of preservatives and spices (so bacon with “spices” in the ingredient list is a no). It just imparts a subtle flavor to the mac and cheese that I absolutely love, but you DO taste it, so if you aren't a nutmeg/mace fan, omit it. If you're not on AIP you can use nutmeg instead. Mace – this is the AIP substitution for nutmeg – it's the dried outer webbing from the nutmeg plant, so it tastes like nutmeg, but isn't a seed. #Simply balanced gluten free macaroni and cheese plus#
Plus it's just good for you with its anti-inflammatory properties! Turmeric – this is slightly for flavor, a lot for color.The powder is just enough to give it a slightly garlicky flavor. I would avoid using fresh garlic as that would be too overpowering.
Garlic Powder – this is just a tad bit of savory flavoring. You can use white wine vinegar instead, however. Apple Cider Vinegar – because you cannot use mustard on the AIP diet, which is a typical ingredient in a dairy-free “cheese” sauce to give it some tang, we use apple cider vinegar instead. If you use canned coconut milk you could omit this due to a higher fat amount, but I still like to keep it in. Coconut Oil – this gives the recipe a bit of fat (which is needed, especially if you use a homemade coconut or tigernut milk). I prefer arrowroot over tapioca starch for this recipe, but you could use tapioca if that's all you have (I don't think cassava flour would work well though in the amount needed) Arrowroot Powder – this helps to thicken the sauce. Unfortunately, this is critical in this recipe so if you cannot tolerate it, this will not be the recipe for you. Nutritional Yeast – this is what gives the sauce the cheesy flavor. Coconut Milk – this is the base of the “cheese” sauce but works just as well though with Tigernut Milk or Sweet Potato Milk if you need to be coconut-free while on the AIP Diet, or you can use any dairy-free milk of choice if you're not on AIP or if you've successfully reintroduced it. (To get all of the exact measurements, etc, see the recipe card below.) But I do have some alternatives for you in the next section as well. If you're not in the United States, getting the AIP cassava flour pasta may be difficult, expensive, and/or impossible. Now, I'll be the first to admit that this AIP mac and cheese does use some harder-to-get ingredients. Ingredients in this AIP Mac and Cheese (and substitutions) In fact, it's a delicious BACON mac and cheese!
So I present you with a dairy-free, Paleo and AIP-friendly mac and cheese. (I know, I shouldn't promote numbing your feelings with food and in fact I think you should avoid that as much as possible, but sometimes…. Unfortunately I know a lot of you have the same experience, as dairy is one of the top triggers for autoimmune disease activity and flare ups of symptoms.īut instead of crying by yourself in a corner, cry into a bowl of dairy-free mac and cheese instead 🙂 Dairy appears to be one of those things that will forever be on my “avoid” list, though admittedly I do cheat and have it every so often, usually to regret it later. I'm not on the AIP Diet anymore, but it doesn't mean dairy has made it back into my life. I did a survey of my AIP membership ( The Autoimmune Collective), asking what their favorite comfort food was – and what they missed the most, and the resounding answer was mac and cheese.
