1. Easy gluten free chocolate cake 🎂

Looking at that picture, I’ll bet you wouldn’t think this cake is gluten-free. It looks so moist, light, and super-rich.

Gluten gives cakes and bread a lighter texture, so when baking without it, you’ll need a substitute.

This recipe includes a link to some homemade gluten-free flour blends, with a critical ingredient being xantham gum.

If you don’t make your own, be sure to buy gluten-free flour that includes it if you want light and fluffy cakes.

2. Vegan flan

Flan is naturally gluten-free since it’s made with eggs, cream, milk, and sugar.

So, how can you make it vegan?

You’ll need a blend of coconut milk to get that creamy texture, maple syrup for sweetness, cornstarch for thickness, and agar-agar for stability.

If you don’t need it to be vegan, check out this super easy, 5-ingredient recipe instead

3. No bake cookies

Since these cookies are no-bake, you’re not aiming for a light and fluffy texture.

Instead, they’re rich, chocolatey, chewy, and a breeze to whip up!

Between the peanut butter and cocoa, you won’t be able to stop at just one.

When shopping for the oats, be sure to double-check that they’re “gluten-free” since many brands have to make you unaware that their products can come into contact with flour.

4.Panna cotta

I’m a massive fan of creamy desserts, and panna cotta is the peak of perfection in my eyes.

The flavor is so clean and just sweet enough that you hardly feel like you’re indulging.

Feel free to experiment with flavors, but I recommend you start with this classic, milky-vanilla dish.

These amazing panna cotta molds make turning these beauties out a cinch. Just remove the small lid to let the air flow, and they will pop right out.

5.Keto peanut butter cookies

Keto is a high-fat, low-carb diet that many people find easier to follow than other restrictive diets.

That’s probably because keto encourages you to eat meat, cheese, and peanut butter!Obviously, low-carb and gluten-free go hand in hand since many high-carb foods are also loaded with gluten (I’m looking at you, breadsticks!).

One thing is for sure: with these tender and flavorful cookies, you won’t feel like you’re missing out one bit.

6.Easy gluten-free cobbler recipe

Cobbler typically has a crumble or biscuit-like topping over a dish of bubbling sweet fruits.

This recipe uses a crumble-style topping that involves gently stirring sugar with an egg and gluten-free flour.

Of course, you could also use almond meal instead, or even the shortbread from above would work if you broke it up and scattered it over the fruit.

7. Microwave peanut butter fudge

I give fudge as gifts to everyone, but it’s extra special for my gluten-free friends.

Most fudge recipes are gluten-free, but this one is extra easy.

All you’ll need is peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar, plus around 5 minutes of your time.

8. Vegan almond flour brownies

Here’s another drool-worthy picture that I would never have believed to be a gluten-free (and vegan!) dessert.

You’ll need some Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer for the absolute best results here.

Flax seeds are an excellent alternative, or even mashed banana, if that’s all you have.

This recipe calls for “2 flax eggs,” which is two tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal mixed with six tablespoons of water.

One whole mashed banana would be your alternative.

9. Easy no-churn homemade icecream

Just imagine how special your gluten-free friends will feel when you tell them their dessert isn’t just ice cream, it’s homemade-with-love ice cream.

Did you know it’s as easy as whipping up some cream and folding through condensed milk and vanilla?Once you have your base, it’s time to let your wild side out!

I suggest you double this batch and play around with flavors.

Maybe try salted caramel and fudge pieces, raspberry and white chocolate, coffee and chocolate chips, or mango and passion fruit.

10.Gluten free strawberry cream cheese trifle

Trifle is a tall, show-stopping dessert made with lots of lovely layers. Traditionally, these layers include cream, custard, fruit, and cake.

If you want to keep it simple, the provided recipe for gluten-free angel cake is light and delicious.

Or, you could always let out your dark side and use the chocolate cake from above with layers of homemade chocolate pudding and lashings of ganache.
