I am absolutely in love with all of their products… Do you remember the vegan and gluten free Tiramisu I prepared with their Ladyfingers?
What I used this time to create this beautiful yet simple spread of gluten free Christmas cookies is their gluten free Honey Grams! Aside from being gluten free, they are also dairy free and vegan, and are suitable for pretty much everyone!
The ingredient list features whole corn meal, which gives a nice “grainy” flavor to these gluten free graham crackers and gives them the nice crumbly texture of a delicious pie crust.
This treat is perfect to be served as a fun Christmas morning breakfast, especially if paired with a colorful matcha latte, which adds some green to this festive recipe and is perfect to dip the cookie and make them melt in your mouth.
…And if you are not a fan of matcha latte (yet) make sure to check out the recipe, as the simple modification I added gives a completely different and better taste!
