Giant chocolate chip cookies, anyone? Because why not! A crisp-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside cookie is hard to resist! I turned to Ottolenghi's chocolate chip and pecan cookie recipe, adapted it to make it gluten free and opted for just the chocolate chips and not the nuts.

Cheat cheese twists

Reminiscent of the savoury baked goods you'd find in M&S, these flaky delights make for an extra special snack, taking no more than 10 minutes to prepare. You can swap the harissa for tomato puree drizzled with a touch of garlic oil and a light sprinkling of chili flakes, as a technically FODMAP friendly alternative. Or you can push the boat out and opt for some homemade gluten free pesto.

I tweaked the recipe in keeping with the fodmap friendly diet (however, the addition of currants is optional). Delicately savoury in taste and crumbly-textured, these scones make for a satisfyingly stodgy breakfast or an equally wholesome afternoon tea, accompanied with either sweet or savoury condiments. For an unexpected but complementary pairing, try raspberry jam with cream cheese - a personal favourite.

Ingredients 100g ground oats 200ml oat milk 1… Continue reading 3-ingredient pancakes
