45+ Delicious Gluten-Free Baking Recipes

Looking for gluten-free baking recipes that actually taste amazing? This collection of 45 delicious gluten-free desserts, breads, muffins, cookies, and cakes is filled with foolproof recipes you’ll bake again and again.
If you’ve ever been disappointed by gluten-free baking, you’re not alone. The truth is, gluten-free baked goods can be incredible—but they can also be dry, gritty, gummy, or just plain disappointing. After eating gluten-free myself for the better part of the last five years, I’ve made it my mission to develop gluten-free baking recipes that actually work, taste amazing, and don’t feel like a compromise.
This collection of 45 gluten-free baking recipes is filled with the recipes I come back to again and again, from everyday muffins and quick breads to celebration cakes, cookies, crisps, and pies. Many of them, like my Gluten-Free Pound Cake and Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies, have been tested dozens of times until they were just right. In fact, my wonderfully opinionated, incredibly talented baker of a mom has taken one bite and said, “You’re lying—there’s no way this is gluten-free.” That’s exactly the reaction I’m after.
Whether you’re baking gluten-free because of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or simply because it makes you feel your best, I hope these recipes become trusted favorites in your kitchen for years to come.
Want to become a more confident gluten-free baker? Be sure to read my Ultimate Healthy Baking Guide, where I break down the gluten-free flours, starches, and ingredients I use most often—and explain exactly how to use them for consistently delicious results.
