Gingerbread: Your New Allergen-Free & Gluten-Free Holiday Tradition
Sunday, November 28th, 2010
As the holiday’s approach, visions of gingerbread – not sugar plums – are dancing in my head. The sweetness of the sugar, mated with the tangy spice of the ginger, make this one of my favorite gluten-free holiday desserts.
And thankfully, those with food allergies or on a gluten-free diet can also enjoy the tradition of making, decorating and, most importantly, eating, these traditional holiday sweets.
I love all types of ginger bread. The soft spicy cakes and breads, which are great for brunches and desserts; as well as the “hard” type of gingerbread and is typically known for constructing gingerbread men, decorated with allergen-free icing, chocolate chips, small candies… and, let’s not forget the gumdrop buttons!

Decorating gingerbread men and houses is also a great holiday project for the little ones to get involved in. So, turn on those ovens, get out those baking pans and start baking your new gluten-free holiday tradition!
