Guest diet / allergy swaps

Short kitchen notes for guests. A fuller gluten-free or dairy-free ingredient list, when we have one, is in the panels below.

  • Dairy-free

    Use oat, soy, or almond milk and check those labels.

    • United States: Unsweetened soy or oat milk keeps the jar from turning into a dessert.
    • United Kingdom: Choose an unsweetened plant drink and check the allergen box on the carton.
  • Gluten-free style

    Use oats labeled gluten-free if that matters in your kitchen.

    • United States: Buy oats in a box that says gluten-free. A lot of U.S. oats share equipment with wheat.
    • United Kingdom: Standard porridge oats in the UK are often unlabeled. Use a box marked gluten free.
    • Australia: Use oats labelled gluten free if you are avoiding gluten in this recipe. This is a shopping note, not medical advice.
  • Lower sugar

    Skip maple or use a smaller spoon.
