The Easiest Healthy Mac & Cheese made with all gluten-free ingredients and some of my favorite organic bone broth for extra flavor and nutrients! 

You can thank my random craving for mac & cheese a couple weeks ago for this recipe.

I grew up eating mac & cheese a lot. There was some homemade mac and a whole lot of Kraft because that is all this girl would eat. Except no elbows or traditional noodles. I only liked the cartoon shapes (so weird).

Now that Ezra is officially eating everything in sight, I want to make sure I am feeding him wholesome ingredients (when I can control it). But I also want to make sure he is getting those childhood classics we all love and crave.

Plus this mama was randomly craving some classic mac & cheese a couple weeks ago, so naturally the craving had to be satisfied.

What I never realized about making mac & cheese is how easy it is. And I’m talking the homemade kind. It sounds 10x more intimidating than it actually is. For starters you only need a few ingredients to make a cheesey sauce (we will get to that soon) and it was ready in less than 10 minutes!

What we need to make the easiest healthy Gluten-free Mac & Cheese:

  • CHEESE. The most important component in mac & cheese. I went with organic white cheddar for this. Any cheese you are craving works though. I used shreds so it was easier to melt together when making the sauce.
  • Organic bone broth. I used Bonafide Provision’s Organic Turkey Bone Broth to add a lot of flavor to this. Instead of water, I love using bone broth for a lot of my savory cooking. Bonafide Provisions makes the most delicious organic bone broth that I have been using for years now. I drink a cup everyday thanks to the extra nutrients it adds to my diet and also cook with it. You can use any of their broths in this recipe. I chat more on bone broth in this blog post.
  • Pasture-Raised butter. Butter is a must in mac & cheese! It gives it that creamy rich flavor.
  • Coconut milk. I use full-fat coconut milk in this for the milk. You can definitely use traditional dairy milk too, but I figured with the cheese and everything, this would be great instead.
  • Gluten-free noodles of choice. Can’t go wrong with any! Make whatever shape you are craving.
