Baking At Home Gluten Free and Vegan Cookies
I hope you’re all well and staying safe.
I also hope you’ve been having some fun during lockdown and have done some yummy baking! I’ve been cooking and baking up a storm. Remember, if you can’t find flour in shops near you, we are now stocking plain and self raising flour in our Wenzel’s stores! You can also order it by click & collect.
I realise a lot of the recipes. I have uploaded on here haven’t all been completely dietary needs-friendly; whilst you can adapt many of them to suit your needs, I think we should include some brilliant recipes that can be enjoyed by everyone. I’ve taken inspiration from one of my absolute FAVOURITE food bloggers. She blogs about recipes to suit pretty much every dietary requirement you can imagine, and she’s called The Loopy Whisk. Her recipes are amazing, so she’s well worth checking out.
Today, I’ve decided to post some yummy vegan chocolate chip cookies, and a gluten free option for those who want the sweet, chewy happiness without the things that you cannot eat.
