Just in time for the holidays, you can win a copy of
The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam! I met Elana at a blogger conference a few months ago and she has donated signed copies of her book to my readers.
The recipes in this cookbook are diverse — muffins, scones, crackers, chicken fingers, entrees, pie, cake and more. All use almond flour, are gluten-free and grain-free. Almond flour has a low glycemic index and is high in protein and fiber, making it ideal for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, diabetes, and anyone looking to vary their diet.
Here’s how you can win:
Just make a comment on this post telling what your favorite holiday treat is (or was!). I will choose three winners at random. You have until Friday, December 4 at 5pm PST to comment (only one comment per person please).
Thank you Elana for this wonderful cookbook!

Katrina (gluten free gidget) says
My favorite holiday treat was these little cookies my MIL makes. They are round and covered in powdered sugar. I think they are called Mexican Wedding cookies. LOVE THEM!!!!!
Britney Bouldin says
I am entering this for my sister-in-law who desperately misses her beer and pizza.
Carina says
I’m still working through my holiday treat, since there were two batches of it: GF lemon pound cake soaked in a buttery lemon glaze. Yum. Though next time it needs a lemon hazelnut crunch topping.
Katie says
My favorite treat was my grandmother’s pound cake. I recently made a sweet potato pie with crumbled pecan crust that made me forget all about it, though 🙂
Heather @CeliacFamily says
Only one favorite holiday treat? It would have to be chocolate. Anything chocolate. The darker, the better. 🙂
Janice says
Not only is gingerbread delicious but I live the aroma of fresh gingerbread in the kitchen.
meredith says
My first love has been, and always will be brownies. Now they’re just GF!
Jamie says
My favorite holiday treat are my grandma’s chocolate chip mandel bread, which I have now figured out how to make gluten free.
Lisa says
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce. You’ll never miss the gluten for a minute. I swear!
Alecia says
I love the old standby, pumpkin pie with fresh whipping cream. I just made a gf version for T-day. It was pretty good, if I do say so myself!
Lynnae says
My all-time favorite holiday treat is Nanaimo Bars. My mom used to make them (not gluten-free) growing up, and then a friend made a gluten- and dairy-free version for me last year at Christmas – and they were absolutely delicious!
mindy says
pecan pie thanks
Nicole D. says
My favorite is my grandmother Anise Sugar Cookies. So tasty!
Julie says
My favorite holiday cookies were these mini lady fingers that my Grandma used to make. I’ve gotten very good at adapting most recipes, but I don’t think that I would be able to get that pasty the same. My Gram’s were the best!
Linda K. says
Our tradition was to always make cookie press cookies and last year after 5 yrs. without I found a gf recipe for them and they turned out great! Thanks for a chance to win.
Janet says
We have an old family recipe called “nutroll”, essentially it is a yeast bread rolled out and filled with walnuts and raisins… I’ll love to find a way to make it gluten free.
Joan L. says
My favorite treat was a recipe for Praline Pumpkin Dessert. It is a Betty crocker recipe that I converted. Everyone went crazy over it especially my 8 month old great grandson. You sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on the whipped cream for an added treat.
Kathleen Schmitz says
My absolute favorite holiday treat is my grandmother’s recipe for Butter Spritz cookies.
Kellie Hamilton says
My favorite holiday treat is helping my mom bake her 22 different varieties of Christmas cookies each year. The best is her buttery Spritz cookies with a cherry and spinkles on top. YUMMY!!
Leslie Ratica says
We are in the middle of test-baking Xmas treats for our new GF bakery in Boulder and so far, the gingerbread men (and women, dogs, reindeer etc) are the favorite! YUM YUM YUM!
Wendy says
I’ll have to say my favorite treat — Gingerbread Cookies. And the fact that I found a nice GF version is icing on the cookie!
Lisa says
My all-time favorite holiday treat is my mom’s home made Blue Berry Torte. Back then it wasn’t gluten free. Now I figured how to make it gluten free good for me. Good Holiday memories.
Fenn says
My favorite is gluten free pumpkin cheesecake. I just created the recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit at our meal!
Ann Maurren says
My favorite for my daughter with celiac is definitely honey balls…..
EBSeattle says
My favorite holiday treat were my grandmother’s molasses cookies that she re-named “Emily and Ian cookies”, after my brother and I.
Amanda says
My favorite Christmas treat was Ferraro Rocher chocolates on Christmas morning but, now that I can’t eat them, I just substitute them with another chocolate. I do miss them though!
Kathryn says
Growing up in the UK, I was subjected to all the traditional British heavy fruit cakes and puddings at Christmas time, but I always chose the delicious, buttery Scottish shortbread. So yummy, melt in the mouth, and easy to bake yourself. Needless to say, I miss it!
missy says
My favorite Christmas treat was Italian Cookies. I loved them so much! When I was little my grandmother and mother made them. I used to make them until I found out I have Celiac.
Andrea says
My favorite treat was my Oma’s (German for Grandma) spice cookies. They were always the best! She’d even include another batch of cookies that weren’t spice, but sugar ones with lots of sprinkles on them. I really miss them.
Amy Hays says
Pumpkin Cheesecake. I still make it….only now without the crust.
Cori B says
My favorite recipe is the chicken fingers! To have the ability to make these, along with the fabulous other recipes at my ‘fingers’, I would be thrilled! Gluten-free food has never been easier, and tastier for Celiacs! 🙂
joan says
Pumpkin Cheesecake is still our family favorite: now that we are GF,I use gf gingersnap cookies from the store to make an awesome cheesecake crust.
Anne B. says
Once upon a time, it was eggnog!
Lisa Hempel says
Delicious gluten free stuffing smothered in decadent gluten free gravy on top of tender turkey slices!
Jenn VM says
I have two holiday treats: Terry’s Chocolate Oranges and gingerbread cookies!
jen says
snickerdoodles. i’ve always loved them, especially around christmas. oh, but i just remembered, i also loved those cookies with the hershey’s kiss in the middle. haven’t had those since going GF… yum!
Kim says
Anything butterscotch, it reminds me of my Grandmother who used to make Butterscotch chip cookies and sneak us kids the butterscotch chips before dinner.
Joan Msason says
One of my old holiday favorites is called Potica and my mother used to make it at the Christmas holiday. I will try a gluten free bread version this season but know it won’t be the same.
karla says
My favorite Christmas treat is what we call Martha Washington Balls. It is something my mom always make and they are delicious. It’s made with organic powder sugar, organic condensed milk, vanilla, and pecans then its all rolled in a ball and dipped in chocolate. YUM!!! Christmas has never tasted so good. I just love them. Christmas would not be the same without them. I hope I get picked for the cookbook, it looks awesome.
judy says
My mom used to make candy and cookies for Christmas. My favortie cookies was the datenut pinwheels or the homemade bon bons she got the recipe out of the Old Workbasket magazines. I have collect alot of these but haven’t tried to change them to make them healthier.
Ramona Gonzales says
My favorite treat is pecan pie and I would like a recipe for a GF version! Pick me! Pick me!
Paula Cole says
My favorite Christmas cookie is the rum balls, made with vanilla waffers, I just figured I would never eat one again! Hope I have a chance
Abby says
My favorite Holiday Treat was any type of cookies, especially chocolate chip! Now that I I’m in college and being gluten free this cookbook would be amazing!
Carey says
My favorite is the chocolate cream pie from Elana’s Pantry. I could just eat the crust and be happy.
JoAnn Wilson says
Red Velvet Cake is my all time favorite cake anytime, but especially at Christmas time. My gluten free version is not too bad. I’m still working on the traditional frosting (not cream cheese)for it. I’m confident that one day I’ll be able to make that gluten free too.
Lynette Sessions says
I love the light and airy, yeasty rolls that I make from the Lion House Cookbook recipe hot from the oven with yummy honey or cinnamon butter.
Michele says
My favorite was sugar cookies my mom makes. I will have to find a new favorite this year.
Johanna B says
I love eggnog. I am enjoying it gluten free this year.
Vicki S. says
My mom makes a pastry called “Danish Pic-Pat-Puff”. As a newly diagnosed celiac, I am desperately hoping to recreate it gluten-free!
