My 7 Best Gluten-Free Recipes to Bake
You’ll love this collection of my best gluten-free recipes to bake. Cookies, donuts, muffins, pie and more. Family-approved and so tasty!
Our weekend started out with beautiful spring weather that eventually turned to snow. So, instead of finishing off the yard work that I had originally planned, I decided to bake a few gluten-free treats instead. I do love baking!
Since I started eating gluten-free two years ago, I’ve tried many, many recipes. Without getting into too many details, let’s just say that some have turned out deliciously, while others have been complete fails (unless you’re my husband who will pretty much eat anything). Rock hard, doughy cinnamon buns come to mind…
Most times, it takes a few tries to get a gluten-free recipe just right. It’s often a case of trial and error. So, to save you time and effort, I thought I’d share some of my favourite recipes that I bake over and over again without fail. I hope they become some of your go-to’s as well. Enjoy!
Best Gluten-Free Baking Recipes
Greek Almond Cookies
This delicious cookie recipe is similar to buttery traditional shortbread with the added factor of an almondy-crunch. I love the crispness of the outside combined with the softer middle. Totally divine!

This frangipane dessert with tangy plums, sweet almond filling and crunchy topping is quick and easy to make. Once baked, you’re left with syrupy and tangy fruit covered in rich batter that puffs up somewhere between custard and cake. Let’s not forget to mention those crunchy almonds. Yum yum!

Mini Pavlova with Fresh Fruit
This pavlova recipe is one of my favourites to make in the summer with its light and airy meringue surrounded by a crisp crust. Of course, the mountain of whipped cream and fresh seasonal fruit make it even more delicious. Perfect for entertaining!
