GLUTEN FREE HOT CROSS BUNS
BBC Good Food shares Paul Hollywood’s hot cross bun recipe with some simple swaps, tried and tested for a gluten free baker! An apricot jam glaze gives this recipe a delicious flavour and a moist bake.
MILK FREE HOT CROSS BUNS
A milk free recipe which can also be made soy free with simple dairy swaps. For a change Ailsa used dried cranberries and the result was delicious and fab to look at!
GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN HOT CROSS LOAF
This recipe is not only a twist on the ingredients, using ground almonds and almond milk, but is also a loaf rather than buns, meaning you can slice, toast and butter up with ease. Does this make this a breakfast bread? I think so.
VEGAN, DAIRY AND NUT FREE CHOCOLATE HOT CROSS BUNS
This recipe from Nourishing Amy makes light and fluffy vegan hot cross buns studded with melting chocolate chunks and decorated with a chocolate cross. These are the chocolate-lovers dream! Delicious warm from the oven or toasted under the grill, they’re naturally vegan, dairy-free and nut-free.
Or you could just buy them instead!
