Tips
- Dried dates can be used as a substitute for apricots if preferred.
- Pea and soy flours are available through most good health food stores, however if these flours are not available at your local shops, the same quantities of any commercial gluten free plain flour mix can be used.
- Remember to always check the label of each ingredient to ensure it is gluten free.
