Celebrate spring with these fantastic Gluten Free Easter Recipes that will make everyone at the table happy! Choose from brunch, mains, sides, and delectable gluten free desserts to make your day extra festive.
The Best Gluten Free Recipes for Easter
You’re sure to find something for everyone in my collection of gluten free recipes for Easter. Are you planning to make a big brunch spread? I have more than got you covered! Keep things simple and put out homemade gluten free bagels, cream cheese, lox, and a fruit salad. Or, whip up a batch of the fluffiest gluten free cinnamon rolls you’ve ever tasted. I love to serve casseroles like a ham and cheese strata or a gluten free French toast casserole that can be put together the night before. Don’t forget lots of freshly brewed coffee!
For dinnertime, I always make a decadent maple-glazed ham and offer a selection of vegetables like mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, and more. Or, I’ll go a bit lighter and make fish the center of my Easter dinner menu. You can even make a meal on one pan if you make my pesto salmon sheet pan dinner! Even better, every single dish is gluten-free.
And of course, we can’t forget dessert. I have so many wonderful springy gluten free dessert options, from a classic carrot cake (seen above), a towering hummingbird cake, a citrus-drench lemon loaf, homemade candy, cookies, and more. You’re sure to find something for everyone in my roundup below.
