12 Gluten-Free Desserts as Delicious as They Are Easy to Make

12 Gluten-Free Desserts as Delicious as They Are Easy to Make

These simple recipes offer taste and texture without the gluten and will have you loving dessert once again. 

If you follow a gluten-free diet, whether due to an allergy, intolerance, celiac disease, or a personal choice, you know that making homemade options to fit your needs can be time consuming, while buying premade options for the convenience can be expensive. Add to that: Sometimes gluten-freerecipes just don’t taste as good as the traditional versions — especially when it comes to desserts.

But making your own gluten-free — and delicious — dessert doesn’t have to be difficult. With a few simple ingredient swaps, you can transform many favorites into gluten-free treats you’ll love.

A couple of general tips: 

  • The main source of gluten in most baked goods is flour. But before you simply swap out all-purpose flour for a gluten-free alternative, be aware it isn’t always a straightforward switch. Gluten provides structure to baked goods, and removing it can change the texture and appearance of a recipe. To help avoid this, try adding xanthan gum or an egg into a recipe when swapping all-purpose flour for gluten-free all-purpose flour. 
  • If you want to use almond flour, you may need to slightly increase the rising agent (for example baking soda or baking powder) to accommodate almond flour’s heavier weight. You may also need to increase the amount of almond flour or reduce the liquid in the recipe since this flour naturally contains more moisture than an all-purpose flour does.

1.Gluten-Free Pumpkin Angel Food Cake

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Angel Food Cake

Who doesn’t love a soft, sweet slice of angel food cake? Traditional recipes are a no-go on a gluten-free diet, though. And getting this light, heavenly cake just right using gluten-free flour can be a challenge — until now! The combination of egg whites and cream of tartar along with a gluten-free flour creates the perfect angel food cake without the gluten.

Incredible soft and fluffy pumpkin angel food cake. Gluten free and perfectly spiced. The perfect fall dessert to bring to a party!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Pamela's Gluten Free Artisan Flour Blend
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 16 large egg whites
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup organic sugar (granulated also works)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°.
Sift together powdered sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves about 3 to 4 times. Do not skip this step.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment beat: egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on medium-high speed. Slowly add in the organic sugar. After about 5 minutes, soft peaks will form. Next turn mixer on high speed and beat until peaks are stiff and glossy. Transfer to a large wide bowl.
Add flour mixture and pumpkin in about 4 different batches, folding in gently with a rubber spatula. Don't be aggressive here, or you could potentially deflate the meringue! Make sure all the flour is evenly distributed. It's okay if there are a few pockets of pumpkin.
Put in a 10” ungreased tube pan with the bottom lined with parchment paper. Smooth top with a spatula & bake for 50 minutes on the middle rack. Cake will be golden brown once baked completely and should spring back when touched.
Invert cake pan on a bottle to cool at least one hour. Using a long knife, cut around sides & center post of cake to loosen cake from pan. Then turn upside down & remove cake. Let finish cooling on a rack in the open air. Serves 12.

3.Fudgy Black Bean Brownies

Fudgy Black Bean Brownies

Skip the flour and reach for a can of black beans instead. This delicious brownie recipe packs in added protein and fiber thanks to the beans while cutting all of the gluten. And with under 10 ingredients, it couldn’t be easier to make. 


Ingredients

  • One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed very well
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons expeller pressed canola oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract, optional
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil or coat an 8 x 8-inch baking pan or dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place the black beans in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, oil, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, peppermint extract as desired, baking powder, and salt and process until smooth. Add ¼ cup of the chips and pulse a few times until the chips are incorporated.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a rubber spatula, and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips.
  4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before slicing into 2-inch squares.

4.Vegan Chocolate-Avocado Pudding

Vegan Chocolate-Avocado Pudding

What’s better than a rich, creamy chocolate pudding? How about one that can be made in just five minutes while being packed full of fiber and healthy, unsaturated fats? This vegan chocolate pudding has it all thanks to the addition of its hero ingredient: a ripe avocado

To make this chocolate avocado pudding, here are my tips to take it from good to great:

  1. Use a very ripe avocado. Seriously. Don’t try this with a firm one. Your blender (and tastebuds) won’t appreciate it.
  2. Go for high quality unsweetened cocoa powder. This will make all of the difference. Visit a chocolate store or choose the best tasting cocoa at your local supermarket. Places like Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, and Whole Foods usually have an excellent selection too.
  3. Drizzle in robust maple syrup. Maple syrup comes in different intensities. Opt for “robust” over rich for a deep, caramelized flavor that goes well with the cocoa.

You can use any milk you like but keep in mind that pea protein milk may yield a more airy final pudding. Also, using sweetened non-dairy milk will add sweetness, so adjust the maple syrup if you do.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • ¼ - ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe medium avocados, peeled and pitted
  • ⅓ cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder

11.Low-Sugar Vanilla-Coconut Cheesecake Snowballs

Low-Sugar Vanilla-Coconut Cheesecake Snowballs

Cheesecake lovers: You’re in luck! Not only can you make a gluten-free cheesecake that rivals the traditional recipe, you can make it in your slow cooker to save time and energy. This simple recipe combines Greek yogurt with a low-calorie sweetener to cut the added sugar and fat while providing the same great taste. And the coconut on top is actually a good source of fiber, vitamin B6, and iron.

Cook Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes

Yield: 8 snowballs

Ingredients

cooking spray
aluminum foil

  • 2 8-ounce packages neufchâtel cheese (reduced-fat cream cheese), softened
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 Tablespoon Truvia Baking Blend sweetener
  • 1 5.3-ounce cup nonfat, no-added sugar vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Oikos Triple Zero)
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut cream (not cream of coconut, which has added sugar)
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, optional
  • 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut, lightly toasted if desired

Instructions

The set-up:

1.Find a 1 1/2-quart casserole or souffle dish that fits into your slow cooker crock. Spray the dish lightly with cooking spray and set it aside. Using aluminum foil, create 2 long strips of foil that you'll use as "straps" to remove the dish from the slow cooker when it's done. To do this, tear off a 22-24-inch long piece of foil, fold it in half lengthwise, then in half lengthwise again; repeat the process with a second piece of foil. Place the foil straps into the slow cooker, criss-crossing them at the bottom, and allowing the ends to stick up past the top of the slow cooker crock. Press the foil straps down to be flush with the bottom and sides of the crock.


The recipe:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the neufchâtel cheese with the Truvia sweetener on low speed until well combined. Add the yogurt, coconut cream, vanilla and coconut extract (if using), and the tapioca flour and beat again on low speed until well mixed and smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low after each addition, until just combined—do not whip the mixture or incorporate a lot of air.
  2. Transfer the mixture to the casserole dish and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Add 2 cups of very warm water to the slow cooker crock, push the foil straps back into place if necessary. Carefully place the casserole into the slow cooker crock, centering it where the foil straps cross each other. Cover the slow cooker and cook the mixture on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours, or until the cheesecake mixture is set in the middle (carefully pull back the foil to check).
  3. To remove the cheesecake, bring the ends of the foil straps together (hold two ends in each hand) and carefully use the straps to lift the casserole dish out of the slow cooker and transfer it to a rack. Uncover the cheesecake and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours, then refrigerate it for 4 to 24 hours.
  4. To make the snowballs: use an ice cream scoop to portion out 8 rounded balls of cheesecake mixture. Using clean hands, shape the scoops into nicely rounded balls, then roll them, one at a time, in the coconut to coat the outsides. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.This cheesecakes keeps nicely in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
