The Best Gluten-Free Easter Dessert Recipes
Let’s start with dessert first, shall we?
Gluten-Free Cake Recipes for Easter
Gluten-Free Easter Lamb Cake is one of those recipes I had always admired, but it wasn’t a tradition in my family; it is now! How adorable is this gluten free Easter Lamb Cake?
Make the cake it vanilla or chocolate, decorate with frosting or shaved coconut the way I have here.
It was the perfect centerpiece and the perfect ending to our Easter supper! (for lamb cake mold I used, click here)
Gluten Free Easter Basket Cupcakes are another dessert recipe that we’ve really had fun making in our house. Use gluten free Peeps® , gluten free jelly beans, gluten free twisted fruit (most licorice contains gluten!), colored coconut shavings, or any other creative addition you think of to decorate these cupcakes, and they’re almost too cute to eat! Click on my recipe for how-tos and for gluten free Easter candy recommendations.
Who could resist gluten free cake pops shaped and decorated like Easter Eggs? These are so fun to make with or for the kids, and easy to make with any flavor gluten free cake you like or happen to have on hand!
Springtime is just begging for this luscious gluten free Strawberries and Cream Cake, don’t you think? There’s something so cheerful and springy about this cake and light frosting. It’s perfect for your Easter table!
Another Easter favorite is Gluten Free Carrot Cake. Baked as a layer, sheet or cupcakes, the cream cheese frosting on this beauty makes it even better. Moist, full of flavor and so iconic at Easter, you’ll want to keep this recipe handy.
You can also make easy gluten free carrot cake CUPCAKES, if that suits your fancy or social distancing needs.
And if you’re a cake mix kinda baker, you can’t get any easier than using my gfJules Gluten Free Cake Mix and baking this Gluten Free Carrot Cake from Cake Mix!!
And how about a carrot-LESS cake that’s a lot like a carrot cake, bursting with flavor, totally moist and dense like a carrot cake and of course with that classic cream cheese frosting — a gluten free HUMMINGBIRD CAKE! Aptly named, as it’s so sweet, a hummingbird would be attracted to it (and all your Easter guests, of course!)
Gluten Free Lemon Pound Cake is another favorite in our house that makes everyone think spring!! Bake in a loaf pan …
… or in a bundt pan and it’ll be the hit of your Easter dessert table!
Gluten Free Angel Food Cake is another natural fit for Easter! Made with my gfJules Flour, it’s guaranteed to be light and airy, just like an angel would like it!
Or take that same fluffy Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake and transform it into a springy Gluten-Free Trifle loaded with everyone’s favorite luscious berries and topped with whipped cream!
Gluten-Free Pie Recipes for Easter
Where are my PIE LOVERS? My mother’s easy Gluten Free Coconut Pie has long been an Easter favorite, mostly because it’s hard to find an easier recipe that is more well-loved! This pie is a crowd-pleaser anytime; no one has to know it only takes 10 minutes to throw it together!
I promise you that even if you’re not a baker, you can make this delicious pie! Trust me – you and your family won’t regret it!
My gluten free Coconut Banana Cream Pie recipe has several more steps than does the easy Coconut Pie, but it’s not hard, just takes more doing.
And again, this is an amazingly delicious recipe that will make even the banana doubters among you ask for a second piece (see my recipe for details on how this insanely delicious recipe changes minds!).
My new-to-the-blog gluten-free Arizona Sunshine Pie is a cheerful springtime pie recipe that’s so simple to whip up you can even make the filling in a blender! Perfect for those busy Easter brunches where you find yourself running in 4 different directions. I know you’ll love it, and so will everyone else!
Other Gluten-Free Desserts for Easter
Easter is all about re-birth and bright, sunny, cheerful foods, so what could be better than these gorgeous gluten-free lemon bars?
They’re one of the most popular recipes on my gfJules site year-round, so don’t overlook them for the sunshine they can bring to your Easter table!
Cookies are always the right answer for the holidays, as they’re portable and easily shared. These gluten-free Nest Sugar Cookies and Sugar Cookie Eggs are SO easy and fun to make.
Be careful, as many “Jordan Almonds” contain gluten, so be sure to find a brand that is gluten free, or just use Peanut M&Ms!
Also super festive are these adorable homemade Gluten Free Easter Graham Cracker Houses for your Peeps. They’re a great table display but so fun to make as a project with the kids, too!
And speaking of Peeps, *almost all Peeps are gluten-free. Be sure to check the labels! Go here for my Gluten Free Easter Candy recommendations to decorate all these treats!
Even a traditional bread pudding (made with gluten free bread, of course!) is a quick and easy — not to mention delicious! — finish to your gluten free Easter meal.
Gluten-Free Easter Bread Recipes
Gluten-Free Hot Cross Buns are the traditional Easter bread favorite, and are remarkably easy to make. These beautiful buns can be glazed or left to stand on their own. A cross made in the tops with a knife before rising, or enhanced by a drizzle of glaze, reinforces the meaning of the meal.
Some of my readers have been sharing their gluten free Hot Cross Bun photos lately, and turns out, they’re using my Gluten Free Pull Apart Rolls recipe and sweetening it up for Hot Cross Buns! How smart! And how beautiful!
My famous gluten free Challah recipe might seem out of place in this Easter roundup, but it actually is made as dinner rolls or Easter Bread by many of my readers on Easter because it’s such a moist and delicious egg-bread — it’s really hard to beat.
You can even bake this recipe in popover trays or muffin tins or shape and bake on a parchment-lined cookie sheet to make the number of rolls you’ll need for your crowd.
Speaking of Challah, this gluten free Sweet Egg Bread recipe (otherwise known as Gluten Free Paska, a Ukrainian / Eastern European traditional Easter bread) is a show-stopper. Braided breads are so impressive, but my recipe and step-by-step photos and video will have you baking bread like a pro!
Another great choice for your Easter table are Gluten-Free Popovers. Served with jam or butter, they go with just about anything else you might be serving with your meal.
Gluten Free Resurrection Rolls (or Empty Tombs) are another classic and very symbolic bread for Easter. These are made easily gluten free using my Gluten Free Crescent Roll Dough recipe! (yes, you just read that right: I have a recipe for gluten free crescent rolls! You MUST try it! So good!)
Gluten free Cinnamon Swirl quick bread is an easy, sweet treat for your table. Or you could go with lemon muffins (think spring!), Gluten Free Strawberry-Rhubarb Muffins or simple gluten free scones — all easy to transport and go well with the meal at any time of day.
I also have recipes for gluten free no yeast breads and rolls, as well as everyone’s favorite soft gluten free Pull Apart Dinner Rolls, — all kinds of delicious gluten free breads for your table!
Gluten-Free Easter Breakfast Recipes
There’s no time that yeasted gluten free Danish this gorgeous wouldn’t be a perfect addition to your brunch table. Don’t you agree?
Casseroles like overnight French Toast Casserole and hash brown casserole are universally well-loved and easy to make gluten free. Adding the overnight option is also a bonus to ease the rush that often comes with baking lots of dishes on Easter morning.
I’ve even added a Gluten Free OVERNIGHT Cinnamon Rolls Recipe so you can make something as impressive as yeasted cinnamon rolls, but make them the night before!
I actually have several gluten free cinnamon rolls recipes on my blog. 🙂 This original recipe for Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls continues to be a reader favorite. You can’t go wrong here.
Gluten Free Monkey Bread is another showstopper for your Easter Table!
Or how about gluten free Coffee Cake Muffins? The portable version of everyone’s favorite!
There are so many great options you could choose from for your gluten-free Easter morning.
Homemade gluten free pancakes or gluten free Belgian Waffles are perfect for brunch, as are gluten free doughnuts, traditional gluten free coffee cake, gluten free cinnamon rolls or gluten free cinnamon sticky buns or even yeast-free gluten free cinnamon rolls (yes, I actually have multiple recipes!).
And don’t forget gluten free muffins (lemon-berry, or Jumbo Lemon-Poppyseed, anyone?) and quick breads (my new gluten free banana-lime bread would be perfect!) are great for breakfast and for munching as snacks between meals.
Even egg-based show-stoppers like this Dutch Baby are incredible additions to your Easter table.
Gluten-Free Meal Options for Easter
Other recipes to consider for your Easter meal include this traditional gluten free “Easter Pie.” You might know it as a calzone, but it has a deep history with other versions rooted around Easter.
Because of the symbolism around eggs, choosing egg dishes of any kind are always common on Easter menus: omelets, frittatas, quiche tarts, quiche – even crustless! deviled eggs, … you get the idea!
The bottom line: with the right ingredients, the potential for a delicious gluten-free Easter meal to suit any palate is nearly endless!
And of course there’s all the Easter Candy – go here to find all the best safe options for your Easter baskets!!!

Making Lamb Cakes is a Polish tradition in my family. Thank you for the gluten-free recipe so that my cousin’s wife can now indulge. If you have a yeast gluten-free recipe for Placek(Kuching), I’d love it. I plan to experiment with my family recipe. It’s difficult when someone has to have gluten- and dairy-free baked goods!
I’d like to make one of my families favorite coconut cake for Easter. I’ve always used one of the original gluten free baker’s recipe,Annalise Roberts. Since you don’t offer a recipe (yet) do you think I can substitute her brown rice flour mixture 1 for 1 using you flour?
Hi Gail, there will be some differences in making the switch from Annalise’s brown rice blend for that recipe (notably no grit! 🙂 ), but since she wrote the recipe for her brown rice blend, you will need to be aware that there may need to be adjustments. I haven’t seen her recipe, but you may need less moisture and you won’t need to let the batter rest before baking. You could also just try a regular coconut cake and sub in my gfJules Flour instead. I hope it works out for you, though! Happy Easter!
