Chrissi Hi and welcome back.
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the run up to Christmas. As I write this, I am currently watching the Christmas tree lights and listening to Christmas songs. What is your favourite Christmas song? Mine has to be Elton John Step into Christmas – I dance along every time I hear it.

I recently noticed that my Vanilla Traybake Recipe is one of my most searched for and seen recipe on my blog. If you are looking for a simple and easy gluten free traybake recipe, please check out my blog post here for the best Gluten Free Vanilla Traybake.
As it is Christmas (well anytime of the year if I am being honest) I have a craving for gingerbread spice. I was browsing traybake recipes recently and discovered the best way to turn this tasty treat festive; a Gingerbread Traybake.
The recipe is so simple to make and gives the perfect blend of Christmas flavours (mainly gingerbread) without being too overpowering. I decorated mine with buttercream, icing and iced holly decorations but a simple dusting of icing sugar or warmed with ice cream would be amazing too!
To make this recipe, simply cream together butter and light and brown sugar before adding golden syrup, eggs and self raising flour with ginger. Bake for 30 minutes and there you go! A great cake to enjoy while watching Christmas films.
I hope you love this recipe as much as me! If you re-create it, please tag me on Instagram using #livingcoeliac so I can see your re-creations. Have a lovely Christmas and I will be back next Sunday with a simple Veggie Chilli – perfect if you plan to overindulge like me! Chrissi -x-
