A sweet treat -
I remember buying something similar to this recipe at the bakery. Glenn always bought the apricot ones and I enjoyed the apple ones. I have replaced most of the flour with rolled oats and instead of white flour have used wholemeal flour. The sweetener is brown rice malt syrup ( no fructose) or honey can be used. Fruit is naturally sweet so does not need any more added to it.
Eaten as a dessert with unsweetened yogurt or as a slice for the lunch box.
Rolled oats are one of those ingredients that either do or don't affect Gluten intolerant people. If it is processed in a factory where gluten products are produced, there will be small traces of Gluten in the packet. Most Gluten intolerant people I know can eat rolled oats. Otherwise buy Gluten free rolled oats and always Organic.
Buckwheat flour - is a gluten-free flour, which is related to the rhubarb and sorrel. It is rich in protein and dietary fibre. One serving of 100 gr gives your 13.30 gr of protein.
