Natural Bakes

EVERYDAY GLUTEN-FREE, SUGAR-FREE BAKING

CAROLINE GRIFFITHS

Gluten-free and rened sugar-free baking recipes for over seventy healthier (but still delicious) sweets, from cookies and scones to pies and cakes.

Healthier baking doesn’t mean losing out on taste. The best cakes, cookies, and pastries are a result of love, care, and better ingredients, as Caroline Griths’s creations can attest.

With no rened sugar, and all gluten-free, Natural Bakes relies on whole fruits and other natural ingredients to create an indulgent experience that won’t make you feel (as) guilty for licking the bowl clean.

Without rened sugar dominating the palate, the unique avors of pure vanilla, nuts, spices, and chocolate shine. Whip up a tray of almond, mandarin, and orange blossom madeleines, nish a meal over a crumble, or wow the whole room with a croquembouche or a layered chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Other recipes that will have your guests throwing out their rened sugar include:

Brown butter pecan shortbread ngers Rosemary, hazelnut & orange biscotti Spiced pumpkin donuts Chocolate pear frangipane Baked lemon cheesecake Roasted pumpkin pie Tarte tatin And everyday chocolate cake
