Crazy Santas
These are great to take to those school Christmas parties or all those end-of-year gatherings in your children’s social calendars. Get the kids to help you make them – you’ll need to find a punnet of large strawberries.
Chocolate and Cranberry Muesli Slice
Cranberries seem to go hand-in-hand with Christmas. This slice was originally conceived as a great option to put in a lunchboxes or for a healthy snack. But it would also make a fantastic festive addition to a morning tea platter or could be brought out to give guests with their after-dinner tea or coffee.

It’s the time of year when we like to treat our friends and family (and ourselves) and this decadent cheesecake is perfect for just that. It uses Te Atatu Toasted Paleo Blend muesli in the base and the filling is creamy peach-flavoured deliciousness. Then it’s topped with passionfruit curd.

Coco Crunchie Christmas Puddings
Not everyone is a fan of the classic fruit pudding traditionally served at Christmas. This recipe offers a yummy alternative that will still look amazing on your Christmas table. They are easy to make and you can prepare them ahead of time and store in a cool place until you are ready to serve dessert.
Gluten-free Ginger and Almond Slice
There’s something about ginger that always makes me think of Christmas. This slice is perfect to take as a plate to a festive function or as a thoughtful gift for a friend, a favourite teacher or someone else who makes life better all year round. To make this more festive you can use pistachios instead of almonds.
Festive Muesli
I don’t usually advocate chocolate for breakfast but I think you can ignore the usual rules during the silly season. Adding cranberries, nuts and dark chocolate to your favourite muesli creates something a little special for Christmas. You can pop it in a pretty jar and give it away or just treat yourself and your family.
Spectacular Chocolate Slice (Gluten-free)
The colourful goji berries, pumpkin seeds and pistachios in the crunchy topping of this slice make it a perfect choice at Christmas time. It’s another one that would be perfect to serve to guests or give as a gift.
Low-sugar Baked Cheesecake Crumble
Taking a plate is definitely a theme for this time of the year! If you are anything like me, that means you are always looking for Christmas kitchen inspiration and constantly worrying about the effect the festive season is having on your waistline. This recipe addresses both those challenges. Cheesecake is a popular dessert on any occasion and I’ve discovered a few tricks to make it lower in sugar and fat and still taste delicious.
Pick Me Up Bliss Balls
This is another recipe that’s a great gift idea – or just have a few on hand in the busy pre-Christmas period to keep your energy levels up as you tick off your to-do list. These are absolutely delicious, easy to make and are low in sugar, grain-free and dairy-free. You can even make them vegan and nut-free if required.
Caramello Muesli Squares
This is another slice that makes a great gift. As well as being gluten free, it’s dairy-free, refined sugar-free and nut-free. It uses tahini paste, honey, and coconut oil to make a lovely caramelised syrup that gives the slice a delicious flavour and helps it set. You can add your favourite dried fruit and optional seeds for a bit more texture.
