Gluten-Free Hot Cross Buns

31

We all know that Hot Cross Buns are associated with marking the end of Lent, so we’ve made a gluten-free option that everyone can enjoy. There is an aBUNdance of antioxidants in the raisins, and also, in the cinnamon which has been used medically for thousands of years. Just in case … the cinnamon spice represents the spices used for the anointing of Jesus’ body for burial and the cross symbolises the crucifixion. Happy Easter enjoying this significant treat.
