Brazilian Cheese Buns

These delicious Brazilian Cheese Buns are gluten free and light, yet rich with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Theyre simple to throw together as a New Years Eve party food and fun to bite into alongside a flute of something chilled and sparkly. This treat comes together easily with egg, olive oil, milk, Tapioca Flour, cheese and salt before being poured into muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes (until the tops are browned).

Gluten Free Prosciutto, Fig & Goat Cheese Tartine

A tartine is a fancy open-faced French sandwich. This gorgeous Gluten Free Prosciutto, Fig & Goat Cheese Tartine features a chewy cracker-like crust of fresh thyme and rosemary, salt, pepper, butter and our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. The crust is a wonderful vehicle for fresh toppings like goat cheese, Black Mission figs, prosciutto, arugula, red onion, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For a variety of New Years Eve food choices, make a few different variations of these tartines. Just follow this same recipe and replace the toppings with other mixes of meats, cheeses, veggies and fruit. Go simple with sausage and mozzarella or make your tartines colorful and vegetarian-friendly with an array of winter veggies.

Sweet and Spicy Crispy Chickpeas (aka Garbanzo Beans)

Sweet and Spicy Crispy Chickpeas are one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to get creative with garbanzo beans. Roasted with olive oil, sea salt, sugar, cinnamon, ground cardamom, chili powder and red pepper flakes, these beans transform into a crisp and flavorful snack. Theyre a perfect party food to pair with cold beer and will keep your guests happily snacking all night. Put them out in a big dish with small bowls next to it, so guests can serve and munch as they please.

5 Ingredient Zucchini Fritters

These 5 Ingredient Zucchini Fritters are crunchy, delicious and super easy to throw together! Zucchini is shredded and mixed with egg, spices and flour before being fried in oil and topped with sour cream and fresh chives. Put a plate of these out for your gathering and theyll certainly be eaten before the clock strikes midnight (in fact, you might want to make a double batch). New Years Eve Food | Bob's Red Mill

Pretzel Pigs in a Blanket

Whats a better snack for a festive party than Pretzel Pigs in a Blanket? These delectable treats are made with ingredients like dark brown sugar, Artisan Bread Flour, Organic Spelt Flour, whole milk, egg and cocktail franks. Serve them with whole grain mustard for dipping alongside your other favorite sauces, like spicy ketchup. Not only are these loved by little ones, but adults will find them fun and easy-to-eat, too.

Creamy Cannellini Bean Dip

Raw veggies and dip are a nutritious snack to have on hand for your guests when hosting a New Years soiree and never fail to make guests happy. This Creamy Cannellini Bean Dip is made with beans, fresh rosemary, garlic, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Pair it with green beans, bell peppers, broccoli, carrotsanything your veggie-loving heart desires.

5 Ingredient Almond Chicken Tenders

We are big fans of Chef Billy Parisis 5 Ingredient Almond Chicken Tenders, which are both gluten free and kid-friendly. To create this perfect party dish, juicy chicken is coated in seasoned almond flour then baked and served hot and crispy. This finger food is fit for even the fanciest of gatherings and tastes sublime when paired with honey mustard and BBQ sauce for dipping. The best part? You only need 5 ingredients to throw it all together: eggs, Almond Flour, chopped parsley, salt and pepper, and chicken tenders. If youre looking for a variation or something heartier, you can even set out some toasted buns and accompaniments for guests to build their own chicken sandwiches.

Something Sweet

When it comes to New Years Eve party food, we like to think the sweet is just as important as the savory. Having a dessert table or dessert bar with a handful of special favorites will keep things fun for your guests and give them even more of a reason to toast to the sweet year ahead. Here are some of our most stunning and seasonal options for New Years Eve desserts. New Years Eve Food | Bob's Red Mill

Champagne Cupcakes

Theres no dessert more celebratory than these beautiful ros Champagne Cupcakes. Bubbly champagne is used in both the cupcake batter and the buttercream frosting for a festive treat. When your cupcakes are ready and your guests are getting closer, make sure to use the extra champagne to share a toast with someone special for the exciting new year ahead (and maybe even sneak a bite or two of your just-made treat). For a twist on this recipe, top your cupcakes with champagne gummy bears.

Cranberry Orange Cake

This easy Cranberry Orange Cake is loaded with cranberries and boasts a sweet and tangy orange flavor. We love the decadent frosting, made with softened butter, cream cheese, orange zest, vanilla extract, fresh squeezed orange juice and powdered sugar. Top this treat with sugared cranberries and orange slices for extra holiday flair. New Years Eve Food | Bob's Red Mill

Sparkling Stars and Snowflakes

Based on German zimtsterne, these Sparkling Stars and Snowflakes are a classic holiday cookie topped with sparkling sugar for an extra tidbit of New Years Eve magic. To make them, youll need powdered sugar, egg whites, cinnamon, ginger, lemon zest, Natural Almond Flour and a hefty sprinkling of sparkling sugar. Set these cookies out on your dessert table for your guests to swoon over (and eat) all night long.

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Maple Cinnamon Frosting

Keep the gingerbread tradition going this holiday season by integrating it into your New Years festivities. These Gingerbread Cupcakes with Maple Cinnamon Frosting are wonderful for a party that hosts a mix of kids and adults. The cupcake batter is made with butter, brown sugar, egg, buttermilk, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, apple pie spice, vanilla pudding mix and our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. The frosting uses cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup and ground cinnamon, for a perfectly light and fluffy cupcake topper. If you have any leftovers, serve them as a breakfast treat the next morning alongside a cup of hot coffee. New Years Eve Food | Bob's Red Mill

Eggnog Blondies

Grab your eggnog and share a toast with friends over these Eggnog Blondies this New Years Eve. The blondies themselves dont actually call for eggnog, although theyre given the classic eggnog flavor through nutmeg and brandy or bourbon. To create this fantastic brownie alternative, youll need Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, cane sugar, melted butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, vanilla extract, white chocolate chips and your choice of brandy or bourbon. The batter smells almost as good as it tastes!

Cinnamon Bun Popcorn

Put a giant bowl of this Cinnamon Bun Popcorn on the table (or smaller bowls on multiple tables) so your guests can grab handfuls of it throughout the evening. Its made with a nutritious mix of Yellow Popcorn (or White Popcorn), coconut oil, ground cinnamon, Coconut Sugar and Vanilla Protein Powder Nutritional Booster and is perfect for munching.

Cinnamon Pecan Shortbread Thins

These Cinnamon Pecan Shortbread Thins are rich, buttery and ideal for a festive treat during the holidays. The shortbread calls for unsalted butter, sugar, pecan pieces, ground cinnamon, fresh nutmeg, salt and Unbleached White Fine Pastry Flour, while the glaze is made with a beautiful mix of powdered sugar, lemon juice, heavy whipping cream, rum and salt. We promise, you wont be able to eat just one! Whether youre hosting a massive party with all your friends, neighbors and family or opting for a small and intimate gathering with someone special, we hope these ideas have inspired your New Years Eve menu.
