Finding tasty and healthy gluten-free options that kids actually like is a challenge.
Cheesebuddy is a lifesaver for parents looking for gluten-free snacks, meals and party platters.
These bite-sized balls of goodness provide a satisfying and wholesome option to keep your little ones energised throughout the day.
Wait – is Brazilian cheese bread gluten-free?
Authentic pão de queijo or “Brazilian cheese bread ” is made with tapioca flour, which is naturally gluten-free.
Our products are Coeliac Australia-approved, so you can feel confident serving Cheesebuddy to kids with coeliac disease or gluten intolerances.
Some low-quality imitations aren’t 100% gluten-free. Traditional tapioca flour is harder to find in Australia, which is why you should stick to a trusted brand like Cheesebuddy.
As well as being gluten-free, our Brazilian cheese bread contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Now, let’s get to the snacks.
Gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread snacks for kids
A warm, fluffy, crispy Cheesebuddy straight from the oven is a delicious option in itself. It’s an easy after-school option to keep your kids fuelled for the afternoon.
If you’re feeling creative or feeding a crowd, there are loads of ways to incorporate Cheesebuddy into fun, kid-friendly snacks.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Cheesebuddy Sandwiches
Because Brazilian cheese bread is gluten-free, you can simply switch out sandwich bread for Cheesebuddy .
You can sneak in all kinds of healthy fillings, create a diverse party platter, or add your kids’ favourites for an easy school lunchbox option.
Even the fussiest eaters will love the crispy, flavourful bites.
Cheesebuddy Sliders
Warm, cheesy, filling and flavourful, our recipe for Cheesebuddy Sliders is a certified crowd-pleaser.
These mini burgers use gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread in place of slider buns. You can also substitute lentils or soy protein to create a veggie-friendly option.
They’re great for birthday parties, weeknight dinners and guilt-free weekend feasts.
Sweet meets savoury
Our classic Cheesebuddy bites are a surprisingly perfect base for sweet toppings.
Serve them up with jam or cream cheese for an after-school sweet treat. As our gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread puffs up in the oven, it creates air pockets that capture all the gooey goodness.
You can also try cream and jam for a classic afternoon tea, or chocolate spread and chopped strawberries for a decadent dessert.
