Gluten Free Sweet Treats for Afternoon Tea or Lunchbox

If you have a gluten free person in your family it sometimes requires a bit of extra thought too come up with ideas for supper, morning or afternoon teas or to go in the school lunch box. Here are a couple of suggestions.

Unfortunately many gluten free biscuit and slice recipes use honey which is not good for anyone allergic to it as I am. These two are honey free as well as gluten free.

I’m sure your family will enjoy both these simple to make recipes. Children might even be able to help make them.
