3. Thumbprint Amaretti Cookies

If you want to up your Amaretti game, try Eileen’s jam thumbprint almond cookies.  The jam in the middles makes them next level! Sure, to become a favourite for the holidays or anytime.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond meal/flour
  • 1/2 cup raw sugar, or coconut palm sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 3-4 tbsp unsweetened strawberry jam

 Directions:

  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  4. Add chickpea water to the dry mixture and mix until you have a homogeneous, using a heavy spoon. The final mixture will be slightly sticky.
  5. Roll mixture between palms of hands into balls (3/4 inch or 2 cm). Yes, it is normal that the mixture will stick to your hands; just wash your hands and continue.
  6. Bake for 7 minutes and remove semi-firm cookies from the oven. Using your thumb, make small dents in each cookie and return cookie sheet to the oven for the balance of 6-8 minutes. Upon removal from the oven, immediately fill the thumbprints with a ½ tsp jam in each cookie.
  7. Transfer to cooling rack and cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to one week.

Yields 24 cookies

 

4. Vegan Cheesecake Bites

Cheesecake, a rich and decadent dessert saved for only special occasions.  This vegan cheesecake is just as rich and decadent without the dairy and refined sugar. The best part is it is versatile. If you really want to impress your guests pour the cheesecake filling into multiple moulds and add different toppings or flavours into each. Blueberry, cherry, strawberry, chocolate, strawberry chocolate, the options are endless!

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup gluten free oats
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

For the Filling:

  • 3 cups cashews soaked overnight or for 30 minutes in hot water
  • 2/3 cups lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cup full fat coconut cream

Directions:

  1. In a food processor mix together almond flour, oats, dates and salt until dough forms
  2. Press cheesecake crust into the bottom of one springform pan for one cheesecake or smaller silicon molds.
  3. Place crust(s) in the freezer
  4. In a high speed blender add all the ingredients for the filling starting with the liquid for easier mixing.
  5. Blend until smooth. Taste the filling for correct flavour and texture (sweet, creamy with a hint of lemon)
  6. Pour filling over crust(s) and place in the freezer.
  7. Add topping of choices
  8. Allow to thaw on the counter 5-10 minutes prior to serving or 1-2 hours in the fridge.

 

5. Coconut Flour Sugar Cookies

Another super simple, throw together at the last-minute cookie recipe! These coconut flour cookies from @theconsciousplantkitchen are not only gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free but also grain free. They are best served with a chocolate drizzle or dip. It’s just very important to measure coconut flour precisely.

Ingredients:

  • 200 g coconut flour
  • 4 fl oz. coconut oil
  • 4 fl oz. maple syrup
  • Dark chocolate for dipping or drizzling

Directions:

  • Measure out flour, coconut oil and maple syrup, mix together
  • Wait 5 minutes to allow flour to absorb the oil
  • If your dough is still too dry (as it may be during winter months) add a bit more oil
  • Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment paper
  • Cut with cookies cutters of choices. The dough can be a bit finicky, so I don’t recommend a large or finely detailed cookie cutter.
  • Carefully place cookies onto parchment lined sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Melt vegan dark chocolate in a double boiler, such as enjoy life chocolate chips.
  • Drizzle chocolate over cookie or dip half the cookie into chocolate.
  • Allow chocolate to cool

 

6. Gluten Free Gingerbread House

Why make a gluten free gingerbread house from scratch? Because Gluten free Gingerbread people need somewhere to live of course!

Decorating a gingerbread house is a fun Christmas activity for children however, if your kids have dietary restrictions there are not a lot of options. This recipe for cardamon gingerbread is sturdy enough to stand on its own but it’s also gluten free.

All you need is a gingerbread house cookie cutter, melted organic cane sugar to glue the pieces together and some time. A gingerbread house can still look festive without candy. Almond slivers make great shingles, green pumpkin seeds for bricks and dried gogi berries for lights on the house and again dried coconut flakes for the snow!

11. Easy Pumpkin Pie Squares

If you haven’t noticed a theme yet, it’s warming spices such as ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice all found in a pumpkin pie. While pumpkin pie is usually favoured more during Thanksgiving it is also sometimes enjoyed during the winter Holidays. These are Eileen’s pumpkin pie squares perfect for easy sharing!

Ingredients: Crust

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 5 – 6 Tbsp melted coconut oil

Ingredients: Filling

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup organic coconut sugar • 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions: Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment
  2. Add oats, almonds, sea salt and coconut sugar to a high-speed blender and mix/pulse on high until a fine meal is achieved.
  3. Remove lid and add melted coconut oil, starting with 5 Tbsp and adding more if it’s too dry. Pulse/mix on low until a loose dough is formed, scraping down sides as needed. You should be able to squeeze the mixture between two fingers and form a dough instead of it crumbling. If too dry, add a bit more melted coconut oil.
  4. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and spread evenly to distribute. Then place parchment paper on top and use a flat-bottomed object, such as a drinking glass, to press down firmly until it’s evenly distributed and well packed on the bottom and up the sides.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and there is some browning on the surface. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Directions: Filling

  1. While the crust bakes, place the pumpkin, brown sugar, white sugar, coconut milk, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until fully blended, smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. When the crust has finished baking, pour the pumpkin mixture into it and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  4. Place the pie into the oven and bake until set approx. 50 minutes.
  5. Let cool and enjoy.

 

12. Ginger Molasses Cookies

The fresh ginger and blackstrap molasses give these cookies a bold flavour. Perfect if you love ginger and other warming spices.

Ingredients:

  • 200 g @only.oats flour (about 2 scant cups)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup black strap molasses
  • 1/2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 pinch white pepper
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 2-3 tbsp coconut sugar for rolling in the dough

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Mix all dry ingredients together
  3. Add maple syrup, molasses and mix thoroughly.
  4. Roll dough in balls and dip into coconut sugar
  5. Place on to parchment lined baking sheet and slightly flatten.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Cookies will crisp up as they cool.

You can substitute for fancy molasses if you don’t like that strong molasses flavour. However blackstrap molasses is full of iron and other good minerals.

gluten-free-lemon-loaf

Cake Ingredients:  

  • 3-4 Tbsp lemon zest (~3 ½ large lemons)
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup potato starch (not potato flour)
  • 1/3 cup arrowroot starch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt

 Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ tsp lemon zest (zest from ~1/2 a large lemon as original recipe is written)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 ¼ cup organic powdered sugar, sifted (to reduce clumps)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a standard-size loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. To a large mixing bowl, add lemon zest, lemon juice, applesauce, avocado oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
  3. Add almond flour, potato starch, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and sea salt and whisk again until well incorporated and no lumps remain. The texture should be thick.
  4. Scoop the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan — about 1 hour.
  6. While the cake cools, make the glaze. Zest lemon and set aside. Whisk together vanilla extract and lemon juice, then begin adding sifted powdered sugar 1/4 cup (28 g) at a time, mixing until no lumps remain. Once all the powdered sugar is added, add zest and mix once more. Set aside.
  7. Once the cake is completely cooled, remove from the pan and gently remove parchment paper. Place on a serving plate and, starting near one end of the cake, slowly pour glaze over the cake, letting it drizzle down the edges slightly.
  8. Enjoy immediately. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2-3 days (best within the first 1-2 days). Cake can be frozen for up to 1 month, ideally without glaze. Let thaw before slicing.

 

15. Mini Carrot muffins, grain-free (and almost sugar-free!)

These mini carrot muffins are grain-free, which makes them gluten-free, and barely have any sugar; just 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar for the whole recipe. These muffins taste great and are suitable for anyone, but especially for those who cannot tolerate fiber, gluten, and need to have low-sugar sweets.

Ingredients:   

  • 3 large organic eggs
  • 1 cup cooked carrot puree

Healthier desserts made with whole ingredients means that blood sugar will remain stable. This means you can avoid the holiday crash.

Desserts that contain protein and healthy fats are more filling, meaning you will be satisfied with less. Further, the spices featured in many of these desserts have anti-inflammatory and immune boosting properties. They aid with digestion and help to gently increase circulation, keeping you warm during these colder months.

Wishing you all Happy & Healthy Holidays!
