Having some gluten free Christmas desserts for your holiday guests is a very good idea. Most family and friend groups have at least one person following a gluten-free diet. We want to make sure everyone feels included in our celebrations. It’s kinda the theme of the season, no?

And gluten-free Christmas baking recipes have come a very long way! Wait until you see the recipes we’re sharing today – they’re GORGEOUS and delicious.

Two decades ago, when I started working as a Registered Dietitian, people following a gluten-free diet did not have many options for tasty baking. We used to work on strategies for how they could enjoy a holiday party and still keep their condition under control.

Sound fun? Nope. The options were very limited – and the knowledge of how to make gluten-free treats was just not common. Heck, most people didn’t even know the first thing about gluten.

I’m thrilled that folks with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities have so many options today. They can join in the fun of the season – not just sadly nibbling a Rice Krispie square in the corner while watching everyone else indulge.

In this post, we’re sharing lots of holiday baking ideas that people following gluten-free diets can enjoy, along with their friends and family. Including:
