I also made these biscuits using Hjorthornssal (a.k.a. Baker’s Ammonia) instead of the baking powder. It made even lighter, crisper biscuits but I know it’s a weird ingredient to find. I’m just letting ya know so if you happen to have some in your cupboard you can use it here! The hobnobs turned out amazingly well, probably even better than the shop-bought version because these used butter (not palm oil) so had even more flavour! They’re oaty, crisp and dunkable! As chocolate hobnobs usually have a kind of cross-hatched drip pattern on them (not sure how else to describe it ) which I couldn’t recreate, I just drizzled them with extra chocolate for a decorative effect. That step is completely optional, as is actually coating them with chocolate – plain HobNobs are a thing – but, to be honest, why would you go for plain if there’s a chocolate option? If you've never had a Gluten Free Key Lime Pie before then STOP everything - you are about to witness dessert heaven! Easy to make and deliciously more-ish, you'll find even the gluten-eaters will love this and will be asking for more.

These gluten free variations of the popular biscuits I used to dunk into my tea pre-coeliac days are set to hit the supermarket shelves in early July, and it would seem the coeliac world is drunk with excitement. Any gluten free dulce de leche or caramel should work - or you can make the caramel from my millionaire's shortbread recipe. With Waitrose selling them we might also assume Ocado will also sell them with them being a subsidiary company, however at the moment they aren't available on there but maybe some point in the future too.If you'd rather you can use gluten free Hobnobs or a biscuit like the Nairn's gluten free Oaties for the case. With these tweaks you can easily make this gluten free banoffee pie vegan so that everyone can enjoy it. How to make gluten free banoffee pie If this recipe needs to be gluten-free then buy gluten-free oats, however a side note, oats ARE gluten-free It’s just that companies can’t state gluten-free because of the manufacturing processes.

And you'll also want to use a dairy free cream such as the Elmlea Plant Based one for whipping into your topping. Pour the double cream into a mixing bowl and whip until it forms peaks - you want them to be soft peaks, don't over-whip the cream or it will become quite stiff and hard to spread!You can read my original post below, but I wanted to update this with a little review so you know what gluten free Hobnobs are like, and where you can get your hands on them! Crunchy, sweet oaty goodness – these homemade chocolate hobnobstastes so much better than the ones you buy in the shops!

I bought the chocolate variety, which have a milk-chocolate dip on the bottom. They look a bit less 'nobbly' than I remember normal ones being - but then I haven't had one in about 15 years! United Biscuits said the high proportion of naturally gluten-free oats in McVitie’s Hobnobs “allowed the recipe to be converted without any compromise” on the biscuits’ taste and texture.

Not only this.... but milk chocolate ones too.Clearly brands pay a lot of attention to customer buying habits and as we all know, free from has really taken off in the UK over the last few years. It just goes to show that we should never moan about the reasons why people are going gluten free, whether that be for medical reasons or just purely lifestyle choice. Without all the support free from has been getting of late, I’m not sure we’d ever see awesome products like gluten free Hobnobs otherwise! After all, let’s not forget that if the whole world went gluten free… then all food would have to be gluten free… and we’d never have to worry about gluten! Well, a girl can dream 🙂 You'll need to ensure the gluten free biscuits are also dairy free as well - most free from ones should be. What did you think about the announcement of gluten free Hobnobs? Will you be camping out in the free from aisle with me?! When’s the last time you ate a Hobnob? I know that it’s been at least 5 years for me! Leave me a comment below or message me your thoughts on Facebook or Facebook. However, I have used standard limes in this recipe and it works perfectly, so no fear if you can't find any Key Limes! Some people to make Key Lime Pie with a meringue topping instead but I prefer the easier and lighter topping of cream.
