My mom used to make Tea Load! Yay!
Hi.
I can’t tolerate oats or gluten, is there a suitable substitute for oat flour that you would recommend?
Also, thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I really appreciate them and obviously so do many other people ?
I haven’t tried any other substitutes but using almond meal usually works in my other recipes.
You can try cassava flour or tiger nut flour. They’re gluten free and versatile.
Hi Jill, looking forward to trying this recipe. Can you clarify. Do you drain the fruit before adding it?
FYI you have a couple typos in your ingredients.
Thank you
You don’t drain the fruit. Just add it all in.
