Unusual Eating

I have an interesting project taking up my time today.
I need something I can make as a dessert or snack for my gaming group (finger foods, and not too girl-y). One of us is now on a grain-free diet. To make it more complicated (I could work that first one out easily enough), I am trying to avoid eggs or milk - if I buy those for it, I have to use ALL of them, or else use the remaining eggs/milk in something that can be frozen for 1+ months. Because otherwise the remaining eggs and milk will go bad while I don't eat them. The only milk-substitute I've found that I can tolerate the taste of (meaning the only one of which the remainder would be useable to me) is Silk pure coconut stuff, which will give whatever I make a decidedly coconut flavor.
I DO have access to almond flour, tapica flour, potato flour...not sure what else.
I've created recipes before using normal ingredients (very successfully I might add...two cakes, a couple other desserts), so I guess I'm about to see what that experience is really worth!
(If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them).
