Gluten-free dessert for two recipes are perfectly-sized dessert recipes to make just two servings for yourself and someone special. When you have celiac disease or a gluten allergy you can’t just go to any bakery and pick up a cake or some cookies. But you still want an easy and special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, a special occasion, or date night in with the one you love. So you need some simple gluten-free small-batch dessert like these quick and easy desserts for two.
It is possible to make decadent gluten-free desserts that taste just as delicious as their conventional counterparts. And you don’t need a laundry list of special ingredients. Gluten-free brownies, gluten-free cookies, and gluten-free cakes can all be made in miniature versions. And you can make these mini gluten free desserts with normal ingredients. Most are pantry ingredients that you’d find in any typical dessert recipe. And you might need just one or two types of gluten-free flours that are fairly easy to find.
How to Make the Best Gluten-Free Dessert Recipes for Two
I started making gluten-free desserts for two when I didn’t want to have a ton of leftovers after enjoying a decadent treat. Because if there was leftover Gluten-Free Golden Fudge Cake or Peanut Butter Cup Flourless Chocolate Cake Roll, you can bet I’d be digging in. These recipes are a great option when you just want to enjoy something delicious. But you don’t want to keep eating it every night for a week. They are also perfect for treating someone you love to a special meal.

Or maybe you are going to keep both for yourself, and that’s totally fine too. I may or may not have done that myself. But there’s something fun about having your own dessert that you don’t have to share.
What do you need to make these gluten-free dessert for two recipes?
Sometimes gluten-free baking comes with a laundry list of different flours, starches, and gums. That is often a deterrent for many people because they may be hard to find or expensive. These recipes mostly contain normal ingredients like butter, sugar, chocolate chips, eggs, and basics like that The only flours you’ll find in these recipes are almond meal, oat flour (made from gluten-free oats ground in a blender), and in a couple cases just a little brown rice flour. You can usually find all of these items in a regular grocery store, or order them from Amazon (these are affiliate links, and I will earn a small commission at no cost to you for any purchases you make through these links).
For the gluten-free deep dish recipes, 6 oz. ramekins are perfect for the single servings. A small whisk can be helpful, and I love my mini spatulas for folding, scraping, and smoothing the batters in the ramekins.
