Keir really loves bagels. We have found some gluten free bagels in the supermarket which are approximately 2 exchanges and Keir has been really enjoying them. The ones we have been buying are Genius plain bagels. However he always wants more and we have to say no. He asked if we could make him low … Continue reading PKU Bagels
Oat Milk – Updated
I wanted to mention Oat Milk as it has been a game changer for us. Keir has been having oat milk with his cereal in the mornings for about 6 months now. It all happened by accident. One morning, I was pouring oat milk into my cereal and Keir asked what it was and if … Continue reading Oat Milk – Updated
PKU Family Picnic
This weekend, we went to a PKU Family Picnic organised by Birmingham Children's Hospital. We all had a fantastic time there.

They had a lovely chewiness in the middle, similar to a honeycomb texture. No crumbling either. This recipe uses golden syrup which gives it a delicious depth to it. I … Continue reading Scrumptious PKU Cookies
PKU Tortilla Wrap Recipe
We have tried various PKU flat bread recipes to make our low protein version of wraps. I think we finally found the recipe that works really well.
