Gluten Free Sticky Toffee Pudding

Gluten free sticky toffee pudding is absolutely delicious! This classic British moist date pudding cake is easy to make. Covered with a buttery toffee sauce it's a dessert everyone will love!

Folks I've made this gluten free sticky toffee pudding recipe with a choice of two different sauces for you.

One option is a sweet and decadent toffee sauce topping.

The other option is an alternative fat-free yogurt sauce.

Each sauce adds a unique twist to the pudding.

You can choose the one that suits your taste best.

Whatever you choose, I know you just want to get right stuck in and enjoy!

Now, just because I made my version of this sticky toffee pudding as gluten free, it doesn’t mean to say you have to.

If you don't want to or don't need to, you can easily use normal plain flour.

The recipe accommodates both options.

I made it gluten free as I received a request for a gluten free pudding recipe and I was happy to oblige.

Whether you use gluten-free flour or plain flour, this pudding will be a delightful treat.

Why Not Serve This Gluten Free Sticky Toffee Pudding At A Dinner Party?

This recipe is perfect for dinner parties.

You could be serving your main courses whilst this is baking in your oven, only leaving you the toffee sauce to make. Or the yogurt one if you choose that.

But I think the toffee sauce one would go down better with your guests. After all a dinner party is a dinner party isn't it? 🙂

The cake is freezable, but the toffee sauce is so much better made fresh each time, otherwise I found it splits if frozen and re-used.
