HOW IT STARTED

My Story

Hello my name is Sass. I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease over 15 years ago. Back then, options were limited and I really struggled with my change to eating gluten free and finding alternatives for baked goods. 

 

I have always loved being in the kitchen so it was only natural that over the years I have sought out ingredients and ways to create delicious gluten free food. I am often told that you cannot tell my gluten free baking apart from "the normal..." so I dare you to give it go. 

Mid 2020, I was asked by my favourite gluten free flour company if I would become one of their at home test bakers. This involves confirming recipes where their flours are used. Of course I said yes! So you will see that I often reference FG Roberts in my baking. I use FG Roberts flours exclusively now because the results are consistent.

Sass' Sticky Bickies

These sticky coconut biscuits are made with a small list of ingredients and are gluten free. You can easily substitute the dairy with coconut milk and make it dairy free too.


Sticky, sweet and moist on the inside, golden and crunchy on the outside. I think they are delicious served with a strong, dark coffee to balance out the sweetness.


Sass' Sticky Bickies keep well for days, making them the perfect treat to make ahead for lunchboxes or to bake for Christmas hampers.


For thermomix owners, change out the caster sugar for raw sugar that has been blitzed a few seconds to make golden caster sugar instead of white.


So versatile, try dipping for Sticky Bickies in dark chocolate or mixing in some chopped glacé cherries for a bit of a twist.


The flour I used for these biscuits is FG Roberts Self Raising flour.
