Gluten Free Dessert Recipes Kids Love

Alexandra F.:  It is a rare day in our home when these cookies do not fill the cookie jar. Gooey peanut butter, crunchy oats, and of course, chocolate...what's not to love? And, since the recipe doesn't use any flour, these cookies are super easy to make gluten-free. These tasty treats have even been known to pass as breakfast for mom on occasion - hey, oats are good for you!!

From My Gluten-Free Kitchen

Tracy Snyder Molina:  These cookies are delicious and make a great addition to your holiday cookie platter. You will need all-purpose gluten free flour for these. We use Better Batter brand or Cup 4 Cup brand for this recipe.

Tracy Snyder Molina:  There are some really great gluten-free brownie mixes out there that make it really easy to have a perfect gluten-free treat without much effort. However, if you are looking to transform your brownie into an over the top decadent delight then check out this recipe. To make life easier, I typically use a boxed brownie mix for the brownie layer and then follow the recipe from there. To be gluten-free, make sure you use a gluten-free brand of crispy rice cereal such as Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice cereal.

Vanessa M.:  Blender muffins are super easy to make, and the fact that these tasty treats are gluten-free is just icing on the...er, muffin. Quick Blender Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are made by combining key ingredients including gluten-free oats, bananas, Greek yogurt, and chocolate chips together in a blender to create a sweet snack or breakfast treat.

From Mel's Kitchen Cafe

Tracy Snyder Molina:  These scrumptious chewy delights are very similar to rice krispie treats except using vanilla flavored Rice Chex which is gluten-free. You will also need to use a gluten-free brand of chocolate sandwich cookies such as Glutino or Joe Joes from Trader Joe's. These would make a fun addition to a bake-sale table as well.

From Iowa Girl Eats

Tracy Snyder Molina:  These decadent muffins are not only grain-free, but also sweetened with honey instead of white sugar. With a nice punch of protein from the peanut butter, these can also be part of a healthy breakfast.

From Gluten Free on a Shoestring

Vanessa M.:  This decadent chocolate cake has a secret healthy ingredient: garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas). Not only is this rich, chocolatey cake gluten-free but also high in protein as well. The short list of ingredients means you probably have everything you need to make this in your pantry right now!

From Allrecipes

Tracy Snyder Molina:  While this recipe as written isn't actually gluten-free, with a simple switch from Oreos to a gluten-free brand such as Glutino or our favorite Joe Joes from Trader Joe's, it makes a delicious treat for hot summer days or any time of year! Tip: Trader Joe's sells gluten-free peppermint-flavored Joe Joes seasonally and they are a perfect swap for mint Oreos. Otherwise, vanilla-flavored sandwich cookies work just fine.

From Sally's Baking Addiction

Tracy Snyder Molina:  Similar to the Cookies & Cream Chex Bars, these treats have the addition of freeze-dried strawberries and blueberries. They are not only delicious but they are absolutely perfect to make for your Fourth of July party!

From Iowa Girl Eats

Tracy Snyder Molina:  Wow, these cookies are aptly named. They are fantastic and unlike a lot of gluten-free baked goods they stay soft and chewy for several days. They are completely grain-free and sweetened with coconut sugar in place of white sugar. Do yourself a favor and try these, you won't be sorry!
