Gluten Free Raspberry & Vanilla Friands

GF, DF, RSF

This recipe would definitely have to be one of my most used recipes! Whenever we have guests coming over it's always on my list of things to make as everyone seems to just love them and are always surprised when I tell them they are sugar & dairy free! They have a Friand texture and flavour and you can use just about any berry you desire if raspberries aren't in season or stock.

Enjoy !
