    Gluten-free feel-good festive baking

    Mince pies, Christmas pudding, and turkey sandwiches are all off the menu over the festive season if you have a gluten intolerance.

    Even if you’re avoiding the major culprits, you can still find gluten in sausages – no pigs in blankets! – bread sauce and stuffing. But this year you can indulge without making yourself ill; just follow our delicious recipe for gluten-free Christmas morning muffins.

    Christmas Morning Muffins

    Makes 6

    Ingredients

    • 150g gluten-free plain flour *
    • 1½ tsps baking powder
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon *
    • 1 tsp ground mixed spice *
    • 2 pieces of stem ginger
    • 50g marzipan
    • 75g golden caster sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 140g natural yoghurt
    • 75g light olive oil or sunflower oil *

    * Available at Holland & Barrett

    Method

    Step 1
    Cut large squares of baking parchment or greaseproof paper and fold slightly so they line the cups in a muffin tray. The paper will stay in place once the weight of the muffin mixture holds it down.

    Step 2
    Sift the flour, baking powder and spices into a mixing bowl.

    Step 3
    Lightly beat the eggs in a basin and gently add the yogurt and oil.

    Step 4
    Dice the stem ginger and marzipan and fold into the flour with the sugar.

    Step 5
    Using a wooden spoon lightly beat the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and spoon into the paper lined muffin cases.

    Step 6
    Bake at 190ºC/180ºC Fan/Gas 5 for about 20 minutes until the muffins are risen, golden, and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
