As tasty as the original, these gluten-free cookies are soft with crisp edges and loaded with melty chocolate chips. They’re a wonderful treat and bake quickly for when the craving hits.

Everyone needs a basic vanilla cake recipe in their back pocket for when it’s about to be someone’s birthday. But if the celebrant is gluten intolerant, try this version. It's super easy to make and tastes great whether simply covered in a buttercream or dressed to the nines!

4. Gluten-Free Pistachio, Raspberry and White Chocolate Tart

5. Gluten-Free Brownies

Fudgy, rich and decadent, these gluten-free brownies have a great chocolate flavour and the perfect chew. Easy to make and enjoyable, they’re a dessert everyone will love.

6. Gluten-Free Cinnamon Doughnut Holes

Looking for an easy-to-make recipe for gluten-free doughnut holes? These light and airy bites are made from a blend of gluten-free flour and ground almonds, and then tossed in a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating. They’re the ultimate treat!

7. Gluten-Free Carrot Cake

This spiced carrot cake with raisins and a soft cream cheese icing is absolutely moist, easy to make and flavourful. It’s a great choice for celebrations that include gluten intolerant guests, or to bake as a snacking cake.
