Nairn's Gluten Free Porridge Oats

Rating: 10/10, available from Tesco's, goodness direct and other online stores, from £2.99.

Here at Treasure boxes and Trinkets we are gluten free, dairy free, soy free and (as you probably know by now) sugar free. We strive to be healthy, love finding and creating new treats and enjoy new discoveries like coconut nectar. But that doesn't mean that we don't miss our old staples. Sure, we'd buy regular oats for face masks and body scrubs but never to eat, and that didn't cut the reminiscing about flapjacks or grandma's porridge made with cream and butter topped with cinnamon and sugar. Mmmmm.

Up until September of this year we were all weary of gluten-free oats thanks to a not-so-gluten-free experience with lying "safe" oats. There is nothing like bonding over the pain of a food-that-doesn't-agree to really cement your friendship.

But after years of suspicion L gave in to a promotion at Tesco's and, well, the rest is history. Following our initial tentative testing we've fallen in love with this product. We don't eat starchy foods that often, choosing to have it as a special treat or when we are feeling as if we need a bit of extra support, but this has widened our repertoire of starchy foods which had previously consisted of squashes and cassava.

If you are gluten free and in the market for some oats - especially over the holiday period - then these are safe for you to eat! There's not much to review beyond that, but it has our stamp of approval!

L is still our resident bargain hunter and even as I type this she is trying to push me off the machine in the hopes of getting some early bird sale shopping in. Bless her impatient little socks.

We hope you've had a lovely day,
X
