A lot of the most popular desserts and cakes contain something called gluten. It’s a type of protein that is present in wheat, barley and rye and if you’re intolerant to it, or if you have coeliac disease, you can’t eat it or you’ll get really sick.
Pastry chef and chocolatier, Tara Gartlan is a coeliac and she’s used her talents and baking smarts to adapt recipes so she can make lots of delicious gluten-free treats. One of her favourites is brownies and in this episode sisters Sadhbh and Rosa learn how to make them.
Have fun in the kitchen with the recipe below, but make sure to have an adult around to help!
While they’re measuring out the ingredients and mixing everything together, Sadhbh and Rosa ask lots of great questions that any budding baker will be interested in like; why are measurements important in baking, what’s the difference between mixing and folding and is it ever ok to open the over door while something is baking?
If you’re a brownie fan you’ll know that they’re fudgier than regular cake and Tara’s recipe is fantastically fudgy, so get baking and enjoy! You can follow Tara on Insta for more.
