Steam Combi Recipe: Summer Fruit Friands

These are very adaptable and a great thing to make for your friends who are on a Gluten Free diet. You can make them with regular flour as well though if you prefer. 

You can use any fruit or berries that you choose but cut larger fruit into small pieces as heavier pieces have a tendency to sink.
