8 Gluten-Free Hanukkah Recipes:
1. Gluten-Free Jelly Donuts (Gluten-Free Sufganiyot)
I made these gluten-free jelly donuts using my trusty Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Flour Blend. They were surprising easy to make, although they do require a little time and effort to get them right. Get the recipe here.
2. Gluten-Free Latke Recipe:
I’ve perfected the gluten-free latke recipe. Get it here.
3. Savory Slow Cooker Brisket:
They say you eat with your eyes and my eyes found this wonderful and simple brisket recipe online by one of my favorite bloggers ever, Tori Avery. I haven’t made it (yet!) but boy does this Savory Slow Cooker Brisket make me crave Hanukkah food!
4. Homemade Applesauce by the Pioneer Woman:
Latkes are traditionally topped with sweet applesauce. Instead of buying it from the store, try this homemade applesauce recipe from one of my favorite foodie celebrities, the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. Ree offers beautiful step-by-step photos so you can be certain to do this right!
The Pioneer Woman has a series of great cookbooks – they aren’t GF, but you can easily make swaps.
5. Make Your Own Hanukkah Gelt from Clinton Kelly:
Children love playing with and eating gelt, which is a coin-shaped piece of chocolate wrapped in gold or silver foil. I’m shaking my head now… why hadn’t I thought of this clever idea for making your own Chanukah gelt myself?! Simply melt chocolate of choice and use your mini muffin pan as your gelt mold. Ingenious!
You can also purchase this cute Hanukkah gelt mold plan and add Jewish stars and menorahs to your gelt.
6. Challah by Good For You Gluten Free:
Of course you don’t want to forget a tasty gluten-free challah, especially for the Friday night of Hanukkah! Here’s my awesome gluten-free challah recipe and blog post. I used this challah-shaped mold pan so the challah would hold its shape. Best gluten-free challah ever!!
7. Gluten-Free Holiday Cut Out Sugar Cookies:
No holiday would be complete without cut-out sugar cookies. But these are no ordinary sugar cookies, they’re gluten-free sugar cookies that don’t spread! You can cut these cookies into the shapes of menorahs, dreidels and Stars of David.
Get the delicious gluten-free sugar cookie recipe here.
PS: You can purchase Hanukkah-shaped cookie cutters on Amazon.
8. Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Kugel:
Of course a Jewish celebration is never complete unless there’s kugel. I buy brown rice and millet ramen noodles from Lotus Foods. These gluten-free ramen noodles are delicious and have a great texture too. (You can purchase gluten-free ramen on Amazon.)
There you have it… eight crazy gluten-free Hanukkah recipes for all eight crazy nights of Hanukkah.
Chag Sameach!
