Christmas isn’t complete without a touch of festive baking! These gluten-free gingerbread cookies are quick & easy to make, using wholesome ingredients to keep you feeling good all season long. We dipped ours in white chocolate from the bulk food section for a perfectly sweet & gingery twist!
Ingredients
• 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Flour
• 1 tbsp Lovin’ Body Ginger Powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon, ground
• 3/4 cup grass-fed butter, room temperature
Method
• 1.5 cup coconut sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup molasses
• Optional: 100g white chocolate, melted
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large tray with baking paper.
2. In a stand mixer, mix on low-medium speed butter & coconut sugar until well combined. Add in molasses & once combined, add in the egg.
3. Add flour, ginger, cinnamon & baking soda to wet mixture & combine over a low speed. Once incorporated, increase to a high speed for 30-seconds.
4. Using a cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto baking tray. If you are using your hands, scoop 1 tbsp of mixture & roll into a ball. Place on tray. Alternatively, if you would like to bake Christmas shapes, roll out your dough between two sheets of baking paper until 1cm thick & use a cookie cutter to create shapes.
5. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. The balls of dough will form cracks on top of them, however the shapes won’t.
6. Allow to cool on a cooling rack. Optional, once cooled, dip into white chocolate & allow to set in the fridge.

Your Christmas dessert is sorted! This Sour Cherry, Vanilla & White Chocolate tart is gluten-free, vegan, low in refined sugar & packed with antioxidants & fibre. Store this tart in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze it for longer. A full belly & restful sleep—that’s our little holiday gift to you!
Ingredients
Base
• 2 cups Flannerys Rolled Oats
• 1 cup Flannerys Raw Almonds
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• Pinch of salt
Cherry Jam
• 350g Elgin Organic Sour Cherries, frozen
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup water
• 3 tbsp Flannerys Chia Seeds
White Chocolate Ganache
• 300g Sweet William White Chocolate Buttons
• 300ml coconut cream
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a tart pan.
2. In a food processor, blend almonds into a flour-like consistency. Add oats & blend until fine. Add maple syrup, coconut oil & a pinch of salt & combine until it becomes a sticky dough.
3. Press dough into tart pan including up the sides. You may like to have damp hands for this so that it doesn’t stick to your fingers. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
4. In a small saucepan, add sour cherries & cook for approx. 5 minutes or until completely defrosted. Using a spatula, gently push on the cherries and break them apart.
5. Once defrosted & broken apart, add water, maple syrup & vanilla to combine. Next, add in chia seeds & mix well. Set aside for a couple of minutes & then stir again. This ensures you don’t get any clumps. Allow the jam to slightly cool.
6. Pour cooled jam over cooled base & set aside in the fridge whilst you make your ganache.
7. In a small pot, warm coconut cream until just before boiling. Place white chocolate in a large bowl & pour hot cream over the top. Leave for 5 minutes & then stir, ensuring you have a smooth ganache with no hard chocolate remaining. Pour over cherry jam & place in the fridge overnight.
8. Once completely set, you may like to top with fresh cherries, rosemary & extra chocolate chips. Use a hot knife to slice the tart & serve immediately.

This dessert is a true show-stopper! Not only is it essentially an “assembly” dessert that comes together in just 10 minutes, but it also tastes amazing & caters to dairy-free & even vegan diets (depending on your choice of lemon curd). It’s so simple that even the kids can join in & help put it together—perfect for the holidays!
Ingredients
Meringues
• 120mls chickpea liquid – aquafaba
• 150g white sugar
Ingredients for assembly
• 1 punnet of fresh strawberries
• 1 orange
Method
• 1 punnet of raspberries
• Lemon curd
• 500mls COYO Dairy Free Vanilla Custard
• Passionfruit pulp

Instructions for Vegan Pavlovas (or you can buy them ready made)
1. Separate the chickpeas from their liquid by draining through a sieve. Once the liquid is separate, refrain the liquid back again through the sieve to remove any smaller debris.
2. Next, whisk the aquafaba with an electric beater on high for approximately 5 minutes, to create a fluffy & thick white foam.
3. Continue whisking while slowly adding 2 tablespoons of sugar at a time, until all sugar has been whisked in, then continue to whisk for a further two minutes. Using a timer is a good idea!
4. Preheat your oven to 90°C.
5. Line a baking tray with baking paper & spoon heaped tablespoons onto the tray in cup sized pieces. Bake for approximately an hour or more depending on size & dryness desired, but don’t be tempted to open the oven.
