20+ gluten free Easter recipes

Easter weekend is almost upon us and if you’re still looking for some fabulous gluten free Easter recipes, I thought I’d put them all in one handy post for you.

I know a lot of people give up chocolate for Lent, so those of you who have might be pleased to know that pretty much all of these are chocolate-based!

And also, an apology to those of you who are gluten and dairy free.

Sadly these all contain dairy, but I hope that you might be able to adapt some of them.

In each recipe I think this is possible, I’ve given some suggestions of how to do this. 

So whether you’re after something to make with children, decadent Easter brownies or even Easter gift ideas, here are some gluten free Easter recipes to get you started!

Gluten free hot cross buns

Does it get anymore ‘classic Easter bake’ than my gluten free hot cross buns?

This is a recipe I’ve wanted to get on the blog for many years but never had the confidence baking with yeast.

But since the lockdown I’ve mastered the art and it’s so simple – I now cannot stop making these!

They are perfect for picnics, eating warm from the oven or toasting and slathering in butter.
