Gluten-free

Healthier baking doesn't mean losing out on taste. The best cakes, cookies, and pastry are a result of love, care and better ingredients, as Caroline Griffiths' creations are a testament to. With no refined sugar, and all gluten-free, Natural Bakes relies on whole fruits and other natural ingredients to create an indulgent experience that won't make you feel guilty for licking the bowl clean. Without refined sugar dominating the palette, the unique flavours of pure vanilla, nuts, spices and chocolate shine. Whip up a tray of almond, mandarin and orange blossom madeleines, finish a meal over a crumble, or wow the whole room with a croquembouche or a layered chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Other recipes that will have your guests throwing out their refined sugar include: Brown butter pecan shortbread fingers Rosemary, hazelnut & orange biscotti Spiced pumpkin donuts Chocolate pear frangipane Baked lemon cheesecake Roasted pumpkin pie Tarte tatin And everyday chocolate cake
