To celebrate the release of my new eBook Going Gluten Free Permanently, I am featuring three weeks of gluten free giveaways, blogs and recipes. Doesn’t today’s look rather scrumptious?
On a chilly overcast Sunday, sitting with a nice cup of herbal tea and a warm blanket was in order… which inspired me to bake up a batch of golden gluten free berry friends 🙂
Friands are actually super easy to make… Have I mentioned my great liking for recipes where you just toss everything in a bowl and hand mix before baking? Well this is another one!
Here are a few tips to help you out…
- When measuring out the dry ingredients, be sure to sift the icing sugar.
- There’s no need to over whisk the egg whites – merely break them up with a fork or small whisk is all that’s needed.
- If adding frozen berries, be sure to add them at the very end once all the mixture is combined and then immediately spoon the mixture into a friand pan and pop it in the oven before the berries defrost. And whether fresh or frozen, fold them in with a delicate hand 🙂
- For this batch, I used Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 Flour mix and Almond Meal and Oob organic frozen mixed berries. As always, where possible, aim for organic, additive free ingredients to avoid unnecessary health or behaviour issues.
You can find the recipe for these delicious friands in my latest eBook, along with nearly 40 other gf recipes for any meal of the day. However my eBook is so much more than yummy gluten free recipes! Drawing on my background in psychology and education, Going Gluten Free Permanently is all about helping others make the change to a gluten free way of life.

Light and fluffy, golden and rather delicious, why not grab a copy so you too can have gluten free berry friends for afternoon tea! 🙂
Happy baking!
