Gluten Free treats

[Snoopystick]

I have a gluten-free colleague. At work we bring treats in over Christmas. Can anyone point me in the direction of either some lovely shop gluten free treats or a recipe? Thanks

Keeping track of some of these recommendations, I only have a fairly pitiful Tesco selection as I live in the sticks but going to visit London soon and I’m going to stock up on some of the other supermarket gf offerings suggested!

I agree that M and S mince pies are good this year.

Oh, and these, they're really nice

A bit plainer and less treaty than most of the things mentioned here, but the M&S and Waitrose gluten free hot cross buns are both very good.

M&S mince pies are usually good (we have a box unopened as yet) but we have had Waitrose ones for the first time this year and they were very good (if a bit more citrus-y in flavour than is traditional)

There are GF stroopwaffels?? Oh wow that would be amazing
do you recommend anywhere in particular for buying them online ?

Macaroons are gluten free usually, I like the chocolate coated ones. Sainsburys have a good gluten free and vegan chocolate cake. All the larger supermarkets carry free from foods these days and there's best buy information. Do check if they have any other dietary restrictions or preferences, especially if they are the only gf person

These are really good...Waitrose milk and gluten free Christmas cake slices

GF stroopwaffels???

Can I ask where you're based OP? There are a couple of excellent gluten free bakeries in the North East and other posters may be able to recommend similar in other areas. It's such a treat for coeliacs to have 'home baked' goods they can be 100% confident about.

Sorry you are right about having them wrapped.
I am gluten intolerant..not coeliac..so not as strict on the touching bit. I won't be sick just get a rash if have gluten

Also, I'm not sure how many coeliac colleagues you have but please as well as keeping them in packaging and on a separate plate, label them for coeliac people only for the first half hour/hour. It's amazing how many people see items and think they look good and by the time the coeliac person arrives it's all gone.

I make cherry Bakewell 'cookies'. They're softer than normal ones. My celiac mate likes them.

250g ground almonds
60g melted butter
60-100g sugar (to taste)
Two eggs, beaten
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch Cinnamon
Splash of Vanilla
Splash of milk
Cherry jam. I add a bit to the mix then put a dent in the middle of each cookie and a blob of jam.

Just mix all ingredients together with your hands if you like! Make small balls, flatten and put the jam on. It makes about 12.
Cook on gas mark 5 for about 20 mins. Or until going slightly brown.

Thank you to everyone who actually answered the question that was asked. I will have a look at all the recommendations given and make some choices.

For the person who wanted a decent GF sausage rolls, the Genius ones are good. I never particularly liked sausage rolls anyway, but I do like them. They are in the freezer section of Co op.

OP - I was diagnosed coeliac this year and my young adult DD last year. Your colleague will be so touched that you have thought of them. These acts of kindness might seem small but are a big thing to someone who is either coeliac or has to avoid gluten or have allergies.

People who mentioned gf Stropwaffles - if you're near York the Dutch pancake house sells them (and does the most amazing GF pancakes)

Oohhh thanks @notapizzaeater - we're not too far away from York. Discovered the Dutch pancake house on our last trip there but it was closed for the day! We had planned to return and now have yet another reason 😊

These are the ones I've had:

I found them by chance in a random supermarket in Canada several years ago and almost cried with joy haha

My dd lives in Amsterdam and last year brought me not only stroopwafels but gf pepernuten.(Albert Hein) Morrisons are also good for gf, I'm hoping for the blood orange and dark chocolate biscuits in my stocking. But florentines (esp the blonde chocolate ones) are my favourite-can't remember where I got them from.
