Alternative Recipes... we know a lot of girls out there have wheat, gluten, nut, egg or dairy intolerances, so don't let them miss out on the cooking or treats. These are good enough for EVERYONE to eat!

ALWAYS CHECK the ingredient labels of manufactured ingredients, that they are fully suitable for use when avoiding certain food groups: e.g. Although the list of ingredients may appear nut free, some of them may have been produced in a factory where they process nuts for other products and would not be suitable for anyone with nut intolerances.

  • Chocolate Muffins - (WHEAT / GLUTEN / NUT free / & can be DAIRY free too, see recipe for details)
  • Flapjacks - ( GLUTEN / NUT / EGG free / & can be WHEAT / DAIRY free too, see recipe for details)
