Around the holidays there are few things more precious than gathering in the kitchen<\/a> to assemble a mountain of seasonal eats. These moments not only allow us to connect to our mealtime, but they also inspire lasting memories between friends, lovers, and family members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, we introduce the perfection of homemade holiday jar recipes.\u00a0Not only do these gifts give your friends and family a meal, but they’ll also receive the\u00a0opportunity to come together in the most popular room in the house. That\u2019s a recipe for nourishment<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Healthy Protein Breakfast Cookies from Little Baby Watson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cookies for breakfast? You bet. This mix provides everything you need to create a comforting breakfast for those frosty weekend mornings. Chia seeds, almond meal, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries\u00a0come together in this stellar recipe to make\u00a0a morning meal sure to satisfy both the mind and body. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Dal Tadka Lentil Soup from Vegan Richa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hearty and healthy, vegan and gluten-free, this Dal Tadka soup mix provides ultimate comfort. The recipe is revered in\u00a0Indian culture and makes a wonderful lunch or dinner for your loved ones, especially any couple or newlywed friends you might have. <\/span>(Let\u2019s be real: there\u2019s little sexier than the mingling of Indian spices.) <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

3. Vegan Anzac Biscuits from Veggieful<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

These sweet biscuits originate from Australia, where the first recipes were used in care packages for soldiers. Somewhere between a cookie and biscuit, these sweet treats are perfect alongside a cup of tea or glass of sweet wine, and serve as a unique recipe for the vegan<\/a> baker in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Vegetarian Five Bean Soup from Back to Her Roots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong; I love the buckets of chocolate that come along with the holidays, but a wholesome and healthy soup can be a nice change of pace after I’ve demolished my Advent calendar. Five bean soup is packed with flavor and fiber, and the spices for this recipe are likely ones that you already have on hand. If you really wanna go nuts, pair the jar with a loaf of homemade bread, and you’ve just gifted\u00a0the quintessential winter meal.<\/p>\n

5. Gluten-Free Brownies from Ari\u2019s Menu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A box of brownies is perfect for its convenience (I don\u2019t know about you, but my brownie cravings alway seem to pop up around 10 p.m.), but store-bought mixes are loaded with refined flours and weird preservatives. These jars give your friends the joy of spontaneous brownies in a homemade gift.<\/span><\/p>\n
