They are not only healthy, but gluten free! These gluten free pecan pie bars can be made with a variety of different fillings and toppings. This recipe for gluten free pecan pie bars is made with pecans, coconut flour, and almond flour. Using pecans and coconut flour makes these gluten free pecan pie bars a healthier alternative to the traditional gluten filled pecan pie bars. Additionally, almond flour helps with the nutrition and taste of these gluten free pecan pie bars.
What Is Gluten?
Gluten is a general name for a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten is found in the endosperm, the part of the grain that contains the grain’s essential nutrient, starch. The protein is also found in seeds such as millet, buckwheat and rice. The endosperm contains a significant amount of protein, and because it’s an important part of the grain it’s often mistakenly thought to be a necessary part of a healthy diet. However, that’s not the case. While gluten is found in grains and seeds, it’s an enzyme called amylase, which is responsible for breaking down starch in the endosperm, that actually breaks down gluten proteins into smaller fragments and makes it less available for digestion. Most people who have digestive issues do not have problems with gluten. However, a small percentage of the population do have gluten sensitivity. Symptoms of gluten sensitivity include chronic gut inflammation, bloating, gas, fatigue and poor digestion.
What Are The Health Benefits of Gluten?
There are a number of health benefits associated with eating a gluten-free diet. One of the main concerns is that people who suffer from celiac disease or coeliac disease are unable to eat wheat and other gluten-containing grains. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While not everyone who has celiac disease can eat gluten, research has shown that a gluten-free diet has benefits for those who do have the disease. The most common symptoms of celiac disease are fatigue, depression, joint pain and weight loss. This disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine. It can also cause symptoms in the brain. Most people who develop celiac disease have genes that can be traced back to the ancient peoples of Europe. Many people believe that gluten can lead to various health issues. Celiac disease is also a form of malnutrition in which patients are unable to absorb nutrients from food.
