Honey Glazed Holiday Brie Cheese

Honey Glazed Holiday Brie Cheese is naturally gluten free, and when cooked with goats milk brie it is also lactose free! It is sweet, but is a great alternative to all the cookies and baking most people indulge in over the holiday season! It is quick and easy to make, and the options for toppings are endless.

Day 5: 12 Days of Gluten Free Christmas Baking

Today I am taking a break from all the sweet treats. Many Christmas functions require appetizers and something more than cookies. People often forget about  the wonderful taste of brie cheese. I love cheese, but brie especially. It is sweet, gooey, and gluten free! This year I bought goats milk brie, so it was even lactose free! Its easy to make as well. I use a brie baker, however you can use any oven safe dish. The options and combinations are endless! You can bake it with whatever toppings you like. I like to keep it sweet, but red pepper jelly is also a delicious treat.

This recipe is super easy to make, which is great during the hectic Christmas Season! You can keep the ingredients on hand in case you get unexpected company, or want a change from all the holiday baking and turkey! It has big flavours. It is great to get something warm during the cold days of winter.

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!

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!
