1. Bakery-Style Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins (Big, Bold, Packed with Berries!)
Any day that starts with a moist and berry-licious gluten-free muffin is guaranteed to be good.
They’re crisp on the outside, buttery on the inside, and studded with juicy blueberries that burst in every bite.
Plus, they’re so soft, you don’t need any glaze on top.
Oh, and they’re huge, too! So one muffin is enough to energize you until lunch.
2. Gluten-Free Trifle
Looking for a gluten-free dessert that’s worthy of center stage? This jaw-droppingly gorgeous strawberry trifle perfectly fits the bill.
What I love about trifles is how effortlessly beautiful they are.
You don’t need to be a cake artist or a piping pro to pull it off. All it takes is a layer of gluten-free sponge cubes, custard, and strawberries in a glass jar.
Repeat those layers all the way to the top and dig in! How easy is that?
3. Gluten-Free Brownies
These brownies are outrageously moist, fudgy, and chocolatey, with crisp edges, to boot!
They’re everything you could ask for in a brownie, and yes, they’re gluten-free.

After all, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate, amirite?
4. Gluten-Free Lemon Drizzle Cake
If you can limit yourself to just one slice of this lemon drizzle cake, I’m impressed with your willpower. I can eat half in one sitting!
The combination of yellow cake and lemon glaze on top not only looks phenomenal, but it tastes it too.
This gluten-free cake is perfectly moist and exploding with lemon and buttery flavors. And you’ll love the crunchy sugar zest.

Crunchy, crispy, and packed with chunks of sweet-tart apples, these apple fritters are the bomb!
