- 5 Gluten Free Dessert Recipes to Try Out
By: Bob's Red Mill | April 19 2016
Gluten free recipes, especially dessert recipes, tend to have a negative stigma. As cooks and as human beings we sometimes assume that ingredients like wheat flour are key to the taste and a necessity in making and baking sweets. Oh how wrong that is! Gluten free is no longer just for the gluten intolerant, and the best part is that these anytime treats will taste just as good, if not better, than the cakes, bars, and muffins you are used to.Not only are these desserts gluten-less, all the ingredients are much healthier and guilt free alternatives to all the recipes you know and love. So instead of turning up your nose to these gluten free delights, take a big whiff because they not only taste delicious but they smell amazing too. If you are already gluten free, feast your senses on new ideas for your own personal cookbook.Pumpkin Spice Flourless Chocolate Cake
Only five simple steps, the product is a chocolate cake with hints of pumpkin and espresso to die for and is, of course, gluten free. Flourless cakes like this prove that flour is not needed to create the fluffy texture in cakes. The best part is you probably won't have to go out to the store to bake this dessert, thanks to the Reluctant Entertainer's crafty recipe. With ingredients like butter, sugar, chocolate, and coffee that you're sure to have on hand, it's a great recipe to whip up on the fly.Tropical Coconut Sunshine Balls
Sweet and salty, this island-inspired dessert from Spabetti will satisfy all your cravings. Coconut is not the only “nut” or fruit in this recipe, as you will also taste flavors of prickly pear, almond, and pistachio. Yet blogger Kristina Sloggett understands that dried prickly pear might be hard to get your hands on, and says dried apricots will work just as well and not take away from the taste. This five-ingredient recipe, containing only fruit and nut-based products, makes these gluten free truffle balls a snack worth writing home about.Frozen Blackberry, Goat Cheese, and Honey Cheesecake
Made with goat cheese, this cheesecake recipe via Adventures in Cooking is not only gluten free but lactose-intolerant friendly, as well. With a honey almond crust, vanilla goat cheese filling, and a blackberry topping you will not even notice that this sweet treat is almost good for you. With all natural ingredients, no butter, dairy, flour, or chocolate you could eat the whole cake and not even feel bad about it, well not really anyways.Cranberry Mango Nut BarsThis sweet snack from The Gingered Whisk is great because it is a bar you can grab on the go. Made with only fruit, nut, and honey ingredients it is healthy, all natural, and gives you all the salty and sweet you could ask for. What is even more amazing is that this recipe requires no cooking or baking. Just mix, spread, and freeze. Really, that is all it takes!Pumpkin MuffinsPlease introduce yourself to coconut flour. Yes, you read that right. Coconuts have really transformed themselves from just a fruit or key ingredient in Piña coladas to oils, flours, and much more. Coconut flour helps to make gluten free baking that much easier. These pumpkin muffins from Spoon University will leave you wondering why you ever ate any other muffins. You can enjoy these baked treats for breakfast on the go or a dessert after lunch or dinner--or both, for that matter.

What is not working for you? Are you unable to see the recipe links or are they just not working? I'd love to help fix the issue, but I need more info.

Is this just to be "trendy"? Gluten issues/allergies are actually not as common as people are making it out to be. I have found, even if I had no idea that something was GF until after I ate it, or tried to and pushed it away because it was "off", I can't eat anything GF because it's completely inedible. I'll be so glad when this trend is over.
When will hit peppers and Romano, Parmesan and asiago cheeses be the new allergy trend? Looking forward to that.

GF is a must for many of us. I get deathly ill if i eat even a trace of gluten so have to be extremely careful what I eat. You must not know any good cooks, because I have had gf cheesecake to die for, great gf brownies, etc....and I do cook all gf because I have to, of course, and folks tell me they are surprised how good the food I make tastes.

Actually, GF isn't "trendy," as you put it. There are degrees of gluten intolerance from Celiac to NCGS (Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, many people (and doctors) are discoveering that IBS may be a gluten intolerance or even a milder form of Celiac. GF diets are being used with excellent results to combat arthritis pain or the symptoms of some autoimmune diseases. GF is here to stay.

Are you serious here? Really? What an uninformed person you are to be commenting. My 24 year old daughter has Celiac Disrase and eating GF is necessary so that she doesn't spend 3days on a toilet, suffer with gastronomic issues, psoriasis and anemia but hey, just because YOU don't know anyone it must be trendy.
And the food is crappy. My daughter would love to eat real bread, pizza crust or a freaking donut but it makes her extremely ill. But hey, you enjoy yours because you have the choice.Reply ↓

We did not mean to imply that celiac disease is not a serious disease or make light of eating gluten free. Rather, we wanted to point out that gluten free baked goods can be delicious and anyone can enjoy them. I am so sorry that your daughter is not able to find baked goods that she enjoys and can feel safe eating.

Gluten sensitivity is not a fad. There are a lot of people with ciliac disease and in
My case an in diagnosed gluten allergy was causi g my adrenal glands and liver to fail. It may just be becoming more diagnosed and more people having it because of all the chemicals and gmo's in our grains and foods. Also I read an article that our rapid rise techniques for commercial bread production isn't allow I g the gluten to fully developed and ferment
I was at gluten free Philadelphia at the expo center in Oaks PAand was amazed at how many people were there and either had the sensitivity or children with celiac. Hope this helpsReply ↓

Those not able to open try refreshing and opening in chrome. Click in the red letters (name of cook).
I am going to try some of these but will NOT use vegetable oil.
Thank you for sharingReply ↓

Cassidy, I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. I can see all of the recipes just fine. Perhaps is a setting on there devices or maybe the issue has been resolved.
Also, Robin Gluten Free is only a trend for those of you who have the option to chose it. For those of us who have Celiac Disease, Gluten Free living is not a choice...it is a lifestyle that will never be over. Perhaps you might consider unfollowing this GlutenFree cooking site and follow a gluten cooking site instead.Reply ↓

As a celiac for 25 years and a second-career RN for 24 years, I cannot stress enough the necessity of a strict gluten-free diet. There is no cheating......repeated exposure to gluten can result in health issues such as lymphoma. Companies such as Bob's Red Mill, dedicated to those who need safe and delicious products will never be a trend.
I do see recipes from posting as did Kay.

I see everything perfectly. I made the frozen goat cheese and honey cake with blackberries and it is divine. Just the sort of thing that is different enough to be interesting but not 'odd.'

The best think to onto the market for Gluten free baking has got to be your new 1to1 Baking Flour. I have done direct substitutions in my regular recipes with great results. My college aged daughter has often brought my GF baked goods to her friends and teachers and it is rare that they can tell the difference.

I am very grateful for Bob's Red Mill products. I've worked with our local Safeway so they better understand gluten free needs. They now are properly stocked.
I appreciate when BR posts receipes of social media. However, I notice, as is the case this time, that more than 50% of the receipes include nuts. Often, I can think of replacements, but I'm not a good cook and would appreciate it if you could keep in mind nut allergies or suggest alternatives in the recipes.
Thank you!

Cassidy,
Thanks for the the links to the recipes.
There is no text under each picture in your article or, " red links in the text under each picture' in FireFox, Chrome, or IE.
There are links to the recipes in your write up about each recipe. The links are very hard to pick out and find in Chrome. The links are a little easier to find in Firefox and IE. Maybe the color of the links could be different or brighter or ?

Goat cheese does have lactose, but it will be tolerated by many who have a problem with the protein in cow's milk.
