Gluten-Free Easter Recipes

Plan the perfect gluten free easter recipes for your holiday menu with these festive breakfast, dinner, and desserts. Whether your family hosts a big dinner or a light brunch, this post has your recipe needs covered.

Easter is one of the best things about spring time. Not only is it a chance to spend quality time with your family, but it’s an ultimate food holiday!

And there are almost no rules when it comes to an Easter celebration. You can serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner!

In my family, we tend to have a large brunch with a wide variety of food. This way, we get to serve foods like gluten free pancakes and a gluten free green bean casserole at the same party.

However your family chooses to celebrate Easter, you’ll find the recipes you need in this post. All gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy.

What are traditional easter dishes?

Traditional Easter foods include ham, roast chicken, potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, etc. However, there’s a lot of wiggle room when it comes to Easter recipes so serve whatever you and your family like best.

What do you have for breakfast at easter?

When it comes to delicious gluten-free breakfast recipes, my go-to’s are always pancakes, gluten free waffles, or my cinnamon roll recipe listed below.

You can make these recipes more festive by adding sprinkles, jelly beans, or plain old maple syrup.

1. Mini chocolate cupcakes

Cuteness. That’s all there is to say about these mini Easter cupcakes from Sarah bakes. Tiny vanilla cupcakes, topped with tiny chocolate fudge frosting nests and tiny jellybean eggs. Tiny tastiness all around!

2. Gluten free cinnamon rolls

These truly are the BEST gluten-free cinnamon rolls! They are soft, fluffy and so full of ooey, gooey deliciousness. The whole family will love these and nobody will even know they’re gluten free.

Gluten-free crescent rolls that are literally the BEST you have ever tasted! Thanks to my special blend of gluten-free flour, they are flaky, fluffy and so delicious. The perfect side dish and easy recipe for Easter.
