Gluten Free Friands at McDonalds

Ever walked into a McDonalds and thought

'is there anything here which is gluten free?" 

Unfortunately they do not offer a gluten free bun or wrap option but they DO have gluten free friands in McCafe! Only $2.40 and absolutely delicious. So far I have tried the raspberry friand and chocolate friand. On the McDonalds McCafe section they list more gluten-free products:

• Orange & Almond - Mini 
• Gluten Free Triple Choc Fudge Cookies 
• Gluten Free White Choc Chunk & Macadamia Nut Cookie
• Jaffa torte
• Almond and Orange Loaf

They also have garden salads which are tasty and healthy. Even better is to order a classic seared chicken without the mayonnaise and bun!

Classic Seared Chicken: 100% marinated chicken breast chicken breast with salad leaves

Other menu items which are gluten free include:

• creamy ranch dipping sauce
• honey mustard dipping sauce
• salad dressing -italian
• hashbrown
• garden salad

Some items which contain gluten that surprised me:

• iced coffee
• sundae - hot fudge
• vanilla chai latte
• caramel flavoured syrup
• hazelnut flavoured syrup
• vanilla flavoured syrup
• frappe (all of them)
• soy milk

I love hot fudge sundaes and never thought they would contain gluten.
