Diabetic Christmas Recipes
Other desserts and recipes you can prepare when hosting a holiday party to make sure everyone's dietary needs are met:
- Fruit-Based Treats: Fruits like apples, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and oranges make excellent alternatives to traditional sugary desserts.
- Angel Food Cake: Angel food cake is a delicious yet light dessert option as it’s made from egg whites rather than butter or oil meaning that it contains less saturated fat than other cakes. You can top it off with sweeteners such as honey or your favorite fruits for extra flavor.
- Pudding & Custard: Pudding and custard provide diabetics with a yummy yet sugar free dessert option - simply replace the sugar in recipes with artificial sweeteners or substitute them altogether for sugar free versions of pudding and custard mixes available at most grocery stores.
Recipe FAQ's
What's the best way to store and serve diabetic Christmas cookies so that they stay fresh and delicious throughout the holiday season?
After the cookies have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container. This will help prevent moisture and air from getting in and potentially making the cookies stale.
What ingredients should be substituted or left out when making diabetic cookies for Christmas?
Replace granulated sugar with a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener. These alternatives provide sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels.
Replace all-purpose flour with almond flour, coconut flour, or a blend of whole wheat flour and oat flour. These options have a lower glycemic index and are higher in fiber.
