Gluten Free Apple Scones

I had some apple sauce left over so thought it would work well to make some scones.
My Fluffy Gluten Free Scone recipe is well known and loved but I had no rice flour and knew the apple sauce would affect the liquid quantity so a few changes were made. Happy to say these turned out really lovely. A big hit and a great way to use up extra apples.

Raspberry Bakewell Loaf Cake

I’m a big fan of a bakewell and an equally big fan of loaf cakes so bring them together and well, it’s just perfection for me! This is a great loaf cake recipe that has a lovely surprise layer of delicious raspberry jam in the centre. I topped mine with a simple almond flavoured icing but some icing sugar and fresh raspberries will make a beautiful finish too.

There’s something quite special about fresh raspberries in baking and I love biting into a slice of cake and finding a gorgeous, fresh raspberry in the middle!

This is a great simple recipe to make and bake but delivers a wow factor every time!

Tahini, Oats & Quinoa with Date Syrup, Nuts & Seeds. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan and No Refined Sugars.

Granola is one of those foods that can appear to be healthy while hiding a lot of processed and refined ingredients. Making your own is quick and easy plus you control what you eat. Using Date Syrup and Maple Syrup in this recipe ups the nutritional benefits plus it’s fibre and protein filled. It will last for 2-3 weeks in a sealed container in the cupboard so definitely one to make and get ahead.

Almond Flour & Lemon Cake – Gluten Free

There are more and more recipes now being published using almond flour in place of regular white flour. It is a healthier option as it’s a more natural product with less processing. Also it’s good for those who want to reduce their white flour and carb intake. Almond Flour is not the same as Ground Almonds. It’s finer so has a different texture. It adds a lovely flavour to any bake and cakes then to be less dense using almond flour.

You only need a bowl, a whisk and spoon to make this flour free, butter free delicious cake! And about 10 mins to get into the oven.

Deep Dish Apple Pie – Gluten Free

There’s a big difference, to me anyway, between an apple tart and an apple pie. I always feel a tart is for polite company, with perhaps a spoon of whipped cream whereas a pie brings up images of family and friends sitting around, bowls chock full of sweet apple filling and crusty pastry topped with vanilla ice cream.

I bought a wonderfully pretty patterned deep pie dish that measures 10″ wide and 2″ high so it’s substantial and deserves only the best Apple Pie to fill it.
