    Do you need some last minute gift ideas? Well, I have 80+ DIY food gifts for the holidays listed here for you - plus a recipe for whole wheat pancake mix, too!

    DIY Food Gifts for the Holidays

    Last Minute Christmas Shopping

    It's December 20th as I write this, and I think it is safe to say we have officially entered last minute territory when it comes to Christmas gifts. If you still have shopping to do, you better do it soon! And oh, it will be awful. There will be lines. Screaming children. The things you need to buy will be sold out.

    A Better Way: 80+ DIY Food Gifts for the Holidays

    But there is another way! You can make your own gifts.

    Everyone loves a homemade gift! (Well, maybe kids don't. If you give your kids jars of Meyer lemon marmalade for Christmas, it will probably be something they tell their therapist about 20 years from now. Don't give your kids homemade marmalade for Christmas.)

    And guess what? I have 80+ DIY food gifts for the holidays right here.

    While you're here don't forget to check out our new Vegan Christmas Cookbook. It's packed with all my favorite tried and true recipes for a plant based holiday feast!

    DIY Food Gifts for the Holidays

    Here are more than 80 DIY edible gifts for the holiday season!

    1

    Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix in a Jar - A DIY Edible Gift!

    First up is my very own pancake mix in a mason jar! This simple pancake mix is easy to make, mostly healthy, and filled with mini chocolate chips that make it a sure crowd pleaser. I've even included printable labels for the jars!

    Drinks (Alcoholic and Otherwise)

    Pomegranate and Vanilla Vodka

    This vodka is so easy to make, I promise you. I’ve seen a few pomegranate vodka recipes, but I haven’t seen the combination of pomegranate and vanilla and I thought it would work well. A little bit of ribbon and a homemade gift tag, and you’re well on your way to making your own Christmas gifts.

    3

    Homemade Mulling Spice Mix

    Red Wine Chocolate Truffles combine the aromatic strength of a dry, red wine and the dark
    tones of a quality bar of chocolate. The truffles themselves are simple to make, but have such a complex flavor you may guess otherwise. The truffles are rolled in cocoa powder before serving, lending a clean appearance to a rustic sweet.

      What an awesome list! I love this! And thank you for including me 😀 Your mix also looks great - I've been meaning to try a whole grain pancake mix so it's easy and ready to go but just haven't gotten around to it yet. And the labels are great!

        You're welcome! 🙂 The King Arthur recipe is a great starting point for a pancake mix. I've been having pancakes for lunch all week and they are SO good--you wouldn't even think that they're whole grain!

        Yeah, I always like the idea of a big pancake breakfast on the weekends, but I am not at my best in the morning (to put it kindly)--having a pre-made mix makes it much easier!

      I love this idea!! And I love adding whole wheat flour to waffle or pancake batter, I don't think you can even tell the difference. I might have to gift this next year, cute jars and all. And I'm totally intrigued by Rosemary Focaccia in a Jar and have to check it out now.

        You really can't tell the difference! And you can't even tell that there are oats in the batter either. These are the best pancakes I've ever made.

      I love this list! Such a great resource--I've been meaning to make more homemade food gifts for the holidays, and I think this year I'm going to go for it. They make the best stocking stuffers.

      Can the oil be replaced with applesauce? I've heard of people doing this for healther versions. If so, what ratio would be best?

        No, in this recipe, you really couldn't replace the oil with applesauce. The mix would go bad quickly.
