Hello Stability Nutrition Friends,
Happy Wednesday!
There’s a certain kind of joy that comes from giving something homemade during the holidays. It’s more than just a treat, it’s a little piece of love wrapped up and shared.
Whether it’s a small gift for a friend, something special for a holiday brunch, or a cozy snack for yourself, homemade recipes always feel extra thoughtful.
Today, I’m sharing four of my favorite recipes for gifting: Dark Chocolate Mendiants, Homemade Granola Bars, Gluten Free Granola, and festive Cranberry Orange Scones. Each one is simple to make, full of flavor, and perfect for spreading a little joy this season. All of these recipes are gluten and dairy free, making them a great choice for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. Everyone deserves a treat they can enjoy!
Whether you’re looking for a sweet treat to share, something special for a holiday brunch, a thoughtful gift, or a cozy snack to enjoy yourself, these recipes are sure to delight!
Dark Chocolate Mendiants
These elegant little chocolate treats are deceptively simple to make and absolutely stunning to share. Melted dark chocolate is topped with a mix of nuts, dried fruit, and a sprinkle of sea salt or flowers for a beautiful bite sized gift. Whether you use toasted almonds, candied ginger, or pistachios, the options are endless, making each piece unique. Pack them in a cute box or bag for a homemade treat that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious! Click here for the recipe.
Homemade Granola Bars
Soft, chewy, and packed with wholesome ingredients, these no-bake Gluten Free Granola Bars are a delicious mix of rolled oats, crunchy seeds, slivered almonds, and sweet dried cranberries. Naturally sweetened with brown rice syrup and almond butter, they’re the perfect balance of nutritious and satisfying. Wrap them individually in parchment paper, and bundle together with twine or festive ribbon for a thoughtful, homemade gift that’s beautiful and delicious. Click here for the recipe.
Crunchy Gluten Free Granola
This Gluten Free Granola is a simple, thoughtful gift. Everyone loves this recipe. It’s lightly sweetened, perfectly crisp, and so much better than anything you’ll find in the store. It is great with chia pudding, yogurt, almond milk, or as a stand alone snack (my favorite). Add dried cranberries, candied ginger, or dark chocolate chips after baking for a festive twist. Pack it in a mason jar with a ribbon, and you have a heartfelt gift that everyone will love! Click here for the recipe.
Cranberry Orange Scones
These gluten free, dairy free scones are light, flaky, and filled with the festive flavors of cranberry, orange, and warming spices. Perfect for holiday brunches or gifting, they’re a thoughtful way to share a little seasonal joy. Stack a few scones in a clear treat bag, tie it with a pretty ribbon, and tuck in a sprig of rosemary or a slice of dried orange for a beautiful and heartfelt gift. These are another personal favorite that I'm going to be making on repeat every year! Click here for the recipe.
Homemade gifts have a way of making the any holiday feel extra special. Whether you’re sharing a jar of crunchy granola, a bundle of chewy granola bars, a stack of festive scones, or a box of elegant dark chocolate mendiants, these simple, heartfelt recipes are sure to bring joy to the people you love.
I hope this inspires you to slow down, get creative, and share something special this holiday.
Happy gifting, friends!
May the magic of the season and the joy of sharing fill your holidays with warmth and love.
All the best to you and yours,
Elisa
