Gluten Free Gingerbread Eggnog Donuts


Gluten Free Gingerbread Eggnog Donuts have a gingerbread base, with a delicious eggnog glaze! They are full of winter flavours and make the perfect snack or breakfast on Christmas morning! They have the texture of a cake donut, and are perfect for the Celiac in your home! 

Day 4: 12 Days of Gluten Free Christmas Baking 


Did someone say donuts? Oh that was me! I always run at the sound of donuts, especially the gluten free kind which are hard to come by! With a donut maker or mini donut pan, donuts can be enjoyed in minutes! They are really easy to make, and satisfy the craving for something sweet! Earlier this fall I made some wonderful Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Donuts. They had amazing flavour and texture so I thought I would adapt the recipe and make a Christmas themed donut. These Gingerbread Eggnog donuts did not disappoint! They have all the bold flavours of winter and are perfect for Christmas morning breakfast! The batter can be used for waffles as well. They are glazed with an eggnog sugar icing and will fulfill your craving for a sweet, sugary donut!

1 Tsp Xantham Gum
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Egg Nog

1 Tbsp Egg Nog
1 Tbsp Rum 
Nutmeg

Christmas is about enjoyment and it is a time when it is acceptable to indulge in all the sweet treats you avoid the rest of the year! Even the individuals with Celiac Disease, or a gluten intolerance should be able to indulge in foods that they can no longer enjoy, instead of sitting back and watching everyone else. It can be a hard time of the year for people with intolerances. However, with the 12 Days of Gluten Free Christmas Baking I hope you can find some enjoyment in holiday goodies this year!

Day 1: Christmas Coconut Macaroons
Day 2: Gluten Free Rolled Vanilla Chip Cookies
Day 3: Gluten Free Gingersnaps 

Have a good day! See you tomorrow :)
