A collection of easy, inexpensive, gluten free dessert recipes that require no special ingredients at all! by Barefeet In The Kitchen

Easy, inexpensive, gluten free dessert recipes that require no special ingredients at all! These are my go-to desserts anytime I’m working outside of my own kitchen, and they are the recipes I give to anyone who asks for simple and uncomplicated gluten free desserts.

Years before I started blogging, when I first started baking gluten free treats for a friend of mine, the recipes I found were completely overwhelming. Special flours, starches, and gums, careful treatment of the doughs, delicate baking instructions, and confusing instructions, all combined to make me toss more than a few cookies into the trash.

I promise you that NONE of these recipes are like that. These are some of the easiest gluten free desserts we make and every last one of them can be made with ingredients that are likely already in your pantry. No specialty flours, tools, or skills required!

Many times, when you need a gluten free dessert, it’s for a dinner guest or a friend, and it just doesn’t make sense to buy several different specialty flours just to make a single recipe. (On the other hand, if you plan to do more than the occasional gluten free baked goods, I have a huge index of gluten free sweets and treats that we love. Try the simple recipes below, and then dive on in and pick up the flours for the rest of them!)

This collection of desserts is perfect for any occasion; a special dinner or a gift for a friend. I bake gluten free at least 90% of the time and I can happily promise you that no one will realize they are eating a gluten free treat. Several of these recipes are also naturally diary free as well. Enjoy!

CANDIES
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Bites
Chocolate Covered Butter Toffee
Homemade Almond Joy Cups
Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge
Dark Chocolate Almond Fudge

SPECIAL NOTE: Some of the recipes above contain oats. Most of the people I bake for have no trouble at all with consuming regular old fashioned oats, however, some individuals have a much higher sensitivity to gluten and oats are not safe for them. Ask first, or simply buy certified GF oats if you are uncertain.

    Love this collection! My father in law and a good friend eat gluten free and I'm always looking for something I can make at home (besides no bake cookies) to share with them Thanks Mary!

    I would like to try the Quinoa chocolate cake but the link to the recipe goes to the flour-less chocolate cake. Would you please fix your link so I can get the recipe. Thank you!

    Can I make any of the Gluten Free cakes into cupcakes? I'm also looking for GF muffins that I don't have to use all of those special flours. Thanks.
