12 Homemade Food Gift Ideas

1. Slow Cooker Apple Butter from Hello Nest

This recipe helps us cut the excess sugar by making apple butter in the slow cooker. This autumn classic tastes fantastic slathered over toast or pancakes and makes a great dip, too.

2. Superfood Granola from Hello Glow

While granola doesn’t necessarily scream “holiday cheer” quite like eggnog or gingerbread, there’s something warm and inviting about sweet and salty toasted oats mixed with cinnamon and dried fruit! 

3. Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix from Hello Glow

This time of the year, everyone likes to kick back and enjoy a mug of hot cocoa. The hot cocoa mix is the perfect ingredient in your goodie basket.

4. Easy Chia Berry Jam from Hello Nest

This chia berry jam takes only 20 minutes from ingredients to jar. Make as much as you need to share it with all the people on your gift list this year! 

5. Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies from Hello Glow

This makes a great gift for little kitchen helpers, but also for their parents. A step up from plain chocolate chip cookies, these cookies are more like soft, chewy brownies loaded with chocolate chips.

Chocolates are a no brainer for a hostess gift, but how about you take it one step further? This chocolate hazelnut fudge is easily stored in the freezer and it’s vegan, too. 

7. Hemp Seed Pesto from Hello Veggie

A jar of pesto is always useful – just add some boiled pasta and you’ve got a meal! So what you’re basically giving is a free meal. Pair these three recipes or choose just one and make a bigger batch. 

8. Natural Homemade Ginger Ale from Hello Nest

Rather than buying soda for your next visit, how about you bring a bottle of homemade ginger ale? This thing tastes amazing and it’s such a healthy alternative!
