Gluten-free baked goods are something that I look forward to every holiday season. The holidays are all about being with family and friends and being with people that you love, no matter what they eat. However, there is a growing number of people that have dietary restrictions and for them, parties and celebrations can be a challenge. In this blog, I will share some of my favorite gluten-free desserts that I have made in the past.
Christmas is almost here and it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll be serving at the family Christmas feast. These gluten-free Christmas desserts will help you can serve your guests who might be following a gluten-free diet for health reasons.
Gluten-free Christmas Desserts & Vegan
1. Vegan Gingerbread Cake
Vegan Gingerbread Cake is an interesting and delicious recipe that uses ginger as one of the key ingredients. It’s made from a mixture of spelled flour, baking powder, sugar, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon extract, nutmeg extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Coconut oil is also used to make this cake moist and flavorful.
This dessert tastes great either served cold or warm with a dollop of vegan frosting on top. If you’re looking for an easy but festive holiday treat that everyone will love try making Vegan Gingerbread Cake!
2. Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake
Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake is a dense, moist chocolate cake that is topped with a sweet orange frosting. It’s perfect for celebrations or any time you want something delicious and nutritious! The cake is made from all-natural ingredients, so it’s safe for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet. The chocolate flavor comes from cocoa powder and the oranges come from pseudo-range extract (which gives the frosting its desired color).
3. Christmas Chocolate Bark
Christmas Chocolate Bark is a mixture of different types of chocolate that are strung together and then covered in shredded coconut. It is often served as part of holiday desserts, ornaments, or gift baskets.
4-Vegan Mint Chocolate Truffles
Vegan Mint Chocolate Truffles are a delicious and guilt-free way to get your chocolate fix. These little treats consist of soft pretzels that have been deep-fried until they turn into doughnuts, then dipped in a minty chocolate coating. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as an after-dinner treat or as part of a dessert table.
Store these truffles in the fridge so that they stay fresh, and give them away as gifts during the holiday season or on any other special occasion. They will quickly become popular with everyone who tries them!
