Day 12: 12 Days of Gluten Free Christmas Baking
It is finally day 12! There has been so much baking posted over the last week and a half. I hope you have found something gluten free for yourself or a loved one to enjoy! Everyone should be able to enjoy Christmas treats and not feel left out over the holidays. When starting the 12 Days series I wanted to make Christmas a little more cheerful for those people who have Celiac Disease or a Gluten Intolerance, and I hope I did just that! I had so much fun experimenting with different recipes and ideas, I hope you enjoy eating the baking just as much as I did.I LOVE EGG NOG. However, dairy products can really upset my stomach so most years I avoid it. This year I was ecstatic to find out that So Delicious made seasonal drinks out of coconut milk! I immediately went to Natures Fare and bought a few quarts to try! It is thick and creamy and you can't tell that it is not real eggnog. I cannot get enough of it! Eggnog is a holiday classic, many people enjoy it with some sort of rum or liquor. However, it also tastes amazing in baking! The spices are bold and flavourful and they offer warmth and comfort over the holidays. Everyone loves cupcakes. They are a great pair with tea, and make an awesome dessert. These Egg Nog Cupcakes have great flavour, and are light and fluffy!
