Gluten Free Spring Dessert Recipes
When the weather begins to warm up, springtime desserts come into season with their light, fresh, and usually fruity flavors. I mean, chocolate never goes out of season, but ingredients like lemon, strawberries, and even carrots become way more abundant when making spring dessert recipes.
If you need to keep wheat products and gluten out of your diet, you aren’t just stopping by the local bakery to pick up some sweet treats. So I’m sharing some amazing gluten-free spring desserts with you.
There’s favorites like cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and bars, each of which has been tested to be a tried and true gluten-free treat by using ingredients like almond flour, brown rice flour, coconut flour, or even gluten free flour blends (like Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1, which is my go-to). Crumbles and crisps can often be made using certified gluten free oats and nuts, eliminating the need for flour altogether, just like in flourless cookies. Puddings and jello molds are naturally gluten free, as are warm weather favorites like ice cream and sorbet. And once it’s just too warm to light the oven, any of these gluten-free no bake recipes will be perfect!
Whether you are planning your Easter or Mother’s Day menu, a bridal or baby shower, or just want to treat friends, family, or yourself to something sweet, I’m sure you’ll find a recipe or three you’ll love in this collection of spring desserts.
