Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Gingerbread

This Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Gingerbread is moist and fluffy, with the perfect notes of sweet and spice… it tastes like Christmas in every bite!

I can’t believe we are almost half way through DECEMBER?! Where has the year gone?! I guess it is true that time flies when you’re havin’ fun!

Life Lately

We have certainly had fun the last few months, hence the lack of recipes (sorry!).  I also decided to take a little break from blogging and am back feeling refreshed and inspired.  A few years ago, I would have been pretty  hard on myself for not “being productive” but I’ve learned to give myself grace and that it is GOOD to rest.

Since October, along with traveling to Arizona for a wedding, New York and DC for work, and Austin for a UT football game, we celebrated Halloween as Jack & Rebecca, had a great Thanksgiving break with family and friends, cheered on the Longhorns at the Big 12 Championship game, and kicked off the holidays with an annual carriage ride with friends.

Perfect Christmas Gingerbread

We are so excited to wrap up this amazing year and celebrate the holidays! We’ve decked the halls and watched (and by watched, I mean quoted word-for-word) Christmas Vacation and Elf.

And what would the holidays be without BAKING?! Pretty terrible in my opinion. That’s why I am SO excited to share this Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Gingerbread recipe with you!

Nick requests gingerbread every Christmas season, and I don’t  particularly love traditional gingerbread, so I was inspired to create a quick BREAD. This gingerbread is moist and fluffy, with the perfect notes of sweet and spice. Every bite tastes like Christmas!

I’ve had a lot of requests for gluten free recipes, so I decided to give it a go with this bread! I’m not going to lie, I have STRUGGLED baking with gluten free flour in the past. But after testing and playing around with this recipe 4+ times, it is perfect and you are going to LOVE IT.

I hope you enjoy it over the next few weeks! It’s perfect to make on the weekend to grab for breakfast or just to snack on throughout the week. I’m planning to make it for Christmas morning!
