Gluten-free desserts are perfect for people who are allergic or intolerant to gluten or who simply want to avoid it. In this post, we will share 13 mouthwatering gluten free desserts that you will love!
Gluten-free Desserts are Healthier
If you are looking for a healthier option to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, gluten-free desserts are the perfect solution. Many gluten-free desserts are made with natural and nutrient-dense flours like almond, coconut, or quinoa: which are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
In addition, gluten-free desserts are often lower in carbs, which makes them a more balanced food than those with both high sugar and carbs.
It’s easy to make any gluten free dessert recipes even healthier by substituting the sugar (if it calls for it) with either stevia, monk fruit, or xylitol.
Gluten-free Desserts are Versatile
Gluten-free desserts are incredibly versatile these days and can be made in a variety of different forms, such as cakes, cookies, brownies, pies, and more. When eating gluten free first became more mainstream everyone mainly used rice flour which honestly tastes really bland and dense.
Now there are so many different gluten free flours and amazing recipes that blend different gluten free ingredients together that you no longer have to feel like you are missing out by eating gluten free.
All these 13 gluten free dessert recipes are delicious!
You can also experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create unique desserts that suit your taste preferences.
Gluten-free Desserts are Flavorful
Just because gluten-free desserts are healthy, doesn’t mean that they lack flavor! In fact, gluten-free desserts can be just as delicious and flavorful as traditional desserts (nowadays!). With the right mix of ingredients and flavors, you can create gluten-free desserts that are just as sweet and decadent as their gluten-containing counterparts.
Gluten-free Desserts are Allergy-Friendly
Many people who are diagnosed with Celiac disease often have to exclude gluten from their diets in order to avoid inflammation and other adverse symptoms. But there are so many people beyond those with Celiacs disease that choose to avoid gluten these days.
Wheat causes many people inflamation and belly bloat. Most wheat is highly processed and genetically modified and for those reasons it has become a lot more difficult to digest for many.
Other people, like myself, simply cannot digest the gluten at all. Those people have gluten sensitivities and it can cause a range of stomach issues.
Gluten-free desserts are not only perfect for people who are allergic to gluten, but they are also allergy-friendly in general. Many gluten-free desserts are also free from common allergens such as dairy, eggs, or nuts, which makes them a great option for people who have multiple food allergies.
Gluten-free Desserts are Easy to Make
Contrary to popular belief, making gluten-free desserts is not as hard as it seems. There are many easy and simple recipes that you can try out at home, and many of them use basic ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store.
These recipes are all pretty simple and delicious and free from gluten! Let’s check them out.
