For the Food Lover: A Bangin’ Tyrosinemia-Friendly Recipe

Low-fat, low-tyrosine recipes don’t mean you have to go light on the flavor.

Because children who have to adhere to a tyrosinemia diet cannot eat foods that include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and cheeses, it can be difficult to cook for 1) a picky eater and 2) a child with these strict dietary limitations.

But, on the blog, Much Tyrosine Amaze, blogger Zenneth Lim posted a recipe that fulfills both criteria—delicious and nutritious!

She offers a tasty alternative to peach cobbler, “Rice Chex Peach Crisp.” We’re drooling already. Here’s how you make it:

Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups of ripe peaches (or pears, plums, berries)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup sugar (or honey, maple syrup, sugar substitute)
  • 1 ½ cups roughly crushed rice chex cereal
  • ½ cup brown sugar (or coconut palm sugar or sugar substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Here’s what you do

  1. Toss the fruit, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl
  2. Place fruit in a greased 9×9 pan
  3. Combine the remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the fruit
  4. Bake at 350-degrees until the fruit filling is bubbly (about 45 minutes)
