There is no reason to avoid flavoring extracts, such as vanilla extract because they contain alcohol. The alcohol in these products is distilled and pure distilled alcohol is gluten free regardless of the starting material.

The vanilla essence is not gluten-free! I will substitute with fresh grated lemon zest! Thanks for posting this recipe.
