This delicious Gluten Free Ginger Slice with Pecans and Hazelnuts went down an absolute treat with friends over the weekend. Its definitely one of the easiest baked goodies for the Chrissy season, yet still so festive in flavour with ginger spice, pecans and hazelnuts. I made it gluten free using the Woolworths Free From Gluten Self Raising Flour only available at @woolworths_au and it was still lovely and fluffy. If ginger isnt your flavour, you could swap out for some cinnamon and it would be just as scrumptious.
