Gluten-free desserts the whole family can share
These desserts are gluten-free as written, made with naturally gluten-free flours (almond, rice, cassava, and oats only when certified), fruit and chocolate. Many are dairy-free or egg-free too: the chips on each recipe say which.
What Gluten watches for: regular oats, malt, some baking powders and cross-contact from shared flour.
