6 Gluten-Free Recipes I’m Loving for the Holidays

There’s something magical about this time of year — warm kitchens, cozy tables, and dishes that make everyone pause mid-conversation to take another bite. If you’re planning your holiday menu or bringing a dish to a party, these six gluten free holiday recipes are the ones I’ve been cooking again and again because they just hit the spirit of the season.

1. Maple Sea Salt Caramel

There’s nothing like the sweet-salty pull of rich caramel during the holidays. This Maple Sea Salt Caramel is luxuriously smooth, with deep maple flavor and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt that makes it irresistible. Drizzle it on ice cream, dip apple slices, or box it up for edible gifts.

2. Winter Spinach Salad with Prosciutto & Roasted Butternut Squash

Bright, crunchy, and packed with seasonal ingredients, this Winter Spinach Salad with Prosciutto & Roasted Butternut Squash is the perfect starter or side to balance richer mains. The roasted squash and salty prosciutto make it feel special enough for holiday dinner.

3. Slow Cooker Beef Chuck Ragu

When the weather turns cold and the table starts filling with chatter, you want a dish that warms from the inside out. This Slow Cooker Beef Chuck Ragu does just that — tender, savory beef in a sauce that practically begs for extra plates.

4. Lemon Cranberry Curd Tart

A holiday table needs a dessert with zing, and this Lemon Cranberry Curd Tart delivers. Bright citrus, jewel-red cranberries, and a buttery tart shell come together for something that’s both festive and refined.

5. Gluten-Free Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

Yes — banana bread meets cinnamon roll magic. A combo that came together in my head during my pregnancy, these Gluten-Free Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls are perfect for holiday mornings with coffee, lingering brunches, or whenever you need a cozy carb fest.

6. Easy Cranberry Jalapeño Meatballs (Slow Cooker)

These meatballs bring the party. The sweetness of cranberries, the kick from jalapeños, and a slow cooker that does all the work — this Easy Cranberry Jalapeño Meatballs recipe is ideal for entertaining or a casual holiday dinner.

Whatever you're serving this season — cozy dinners, festive brunches, or last-minute gatherings — these recipes are the ones I come back to when I want food that tastes joyful, comforting, and holiday-ready.
