Simple Starts: Easy Gluten-Free Snacks for Busy Students
These snacks tick all the boxes: easy, cheap and delicious. My criteria for easy uni snacks are strict: they need to be pre-prepared so I can just grab them and go, they need to be cheap, quick to make, and most importantly, they need to be absolutely delicious.

Gluten Free Layered Apple Bars

I found myself in this exact situation and decided to adapt my banana bread recipe into an apple loaf. However, without enough almond flour, I found myself at a crossroads — so I improvised and came up with these instead: apple bars with a coconutty shortbread-style base, topped with a layer of date caramel, peanut butter, and swirls of tar
