Top 10 gluten-free recipes

When sitting down to put this list together, I had a silent chuckle remembering the hilarious video – where people who followed a gluten-free diet were asked what gluten was (Face palm!).

If you’re unfamiliar with it, gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat and barley, and is the essential element that gives structure to breads and pastas. Gluten is also found in beer, processed meats and store-bought sauces. A large number of people are intolerant to the protein and are unable to digest it.

We’ve rounded up a list of our top gluten-free recipes to try. Have a look…

1. Healthy egg and cheese muffins
These are full of protein and are perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.
