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!

I just found your site through Elana’s Pantry’s tweet! What a great site! I love these pecan fudge truffles I have been addicted to lately.
Here is the link:

They are dates and pecans rolled in cocoa powder and toasted coconut. What can get simpler or more delicious? And the best part? No sugar, soy, grain, or dairy! Yay!
Jenny says
Hands down my favorite holiday treat are my “famous” Christmas cookies. Everyone begs for the buttery, sugary, almond-flavored treat. But they just aren’t the same when made gluten-free. Sigh.
Nari L says
Shortbread cookies or other type of simple butter cookie. Sigh…. Before I went GF, I had begun substituting almond flour for wheat flour in my recipes but now I don’t bake much at all.
Sandy says
My favorite treat are those peppermint flavored candy canes to munch on and dipped in chocolate they are even better. Sandy
Melissa says
My mom makes the worlds best fudge! I really miss eating that…

Cherry-Cheese Cake; but now I can’t eat dairy, soy or gluten, so haven’t eaten it in years!
Molly says
My absolute favorite holiday treat has always been pumpkin cheesecake, although I’ve had to improvise through the years to create one that is both vegan and gluten free!
Linda says
I miss my gingerbread cookies. But I did convert one Italian cookie and it is very good.
Gluten Free Betsy says
I love eggnog this time of year! I also really love sugar cookies because they are so fun to decorate! 🙂
Melissa says
My favorite cookies are these yummy molasses cookies my Grandma always made special for me every Christmas. She left me the recipe when she passed away but hers had that extra special ingredient of love in them. 🙂
Marian says
My favorite holiday treat is swiss apple pie. Not swiss cheese, it is an apple/custard pie my grandmother made, and can be made gluten free! Thanks for the chance to win the cook book.
Michelle duhl says
My fav is rum balls made with pound cake so I need to figure out how to adapt it. I have also made a chocolate version with those famous brand choclate wafer cookies! Yum!

My favorite has to be pumpkin cranberry upside down cake. The gf version is amazing!
Gabby says
I LOVE warm cupcakes during the holidays. I’ve found a great gluten free recipe that is going to help me make it through the season, hooray. ^.^
Clay says
I’m entering for my 4 year old daughter… who is missing her traditional gingerbread ornament cookies right now! We’re taste testing a few gluten free options but none of them are “just right” according to her!
As for me… I adore luscious home made egg nog, homemade cheese crackers, and cheesecake!
Cassi says
i would love a copy of the book that finally got me, after 8 years of being gluten-free, to brave baking again.
and i know my husband and son would like the occasional dessert that’s not dates stuffed with almonds.
thanks!
Linda says
