Tips:

To make this low food chemical simply swap the strawberries for 2 medium pears, peeled, cored & grated.
If you do not have brown rice flour, corn flour or tapioca flour you can replace these, along with the xanthan gum, bicarbonate soda & baking powder, with 2 cups of gluten free self-raising flour.
