Today I’m sharing 20+ easy, inexpensive, naturally gluten free desserts that require no special ingredients at all!

These are my go-to desserts anytime I need an allergy-friendly option at the last moment. They are also the recipes I share with anyone who asks for a simple and uncomplicated gluten free dessert recipe.

Naturally Gluten Free Desserts

All of the desserts I’m sharing today are naturally gluten free, meaning that they require no special flour or starches and can be made with ingredients typically found in the average kitchen.

Years before I started blogging, when I first started baking gluten free treats for a friend of mine, the recipes I found were completely overwhelming.

Special flours, starches, and gums, careful treatment of the doughs, delicate baking instructions, and confusing instructions, all combined to make me toss more than a few cookies into the trash.

I promise you that NONE of these recipes are like that. These are some of the easiest gluten-free desserts we make and every last one of them can be made with ingredients that are likely already in your pantry. No specialty flours, tools, or skills are required.

I love baking gluten free (and often dairy free) treats to bring to gatherings and events knowing that everyone will be able to enjoy them. Whether you’ve been baking without gluten for a while or you’re new to the whole thing, I hope that you enjoy these easy gluten free desserts.

Creamy, rich homemade fudge is the easiest gluten-free holiday treat to give as gifts or serve on a dessert tray. Unlike traditional fudge recipes that boil on the stove and must be stirred constantly, each of these Fudge Recipes can be made in 10 minutes or less!

You can imagine my delight when I realized that these copycat Cosmic Brownies are a naturally gluten free treat! Made without any flour at all they are perfectly chewy, ultra fudgy brownies, topped with a layer of fudge frosting.

Juicy oven baked chicken thighs are possible with almost no effort at all!

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you likely know that we eat a lot of chicken. I’ve shared over 150 chicken recipes already and there isn’t an end in sight.

Chicken is so versatile that you can serve it for dinner several nights a week for months and never have to have it exactly the same way.

Learning a few different ways to cook chicken thighs means always being able to whip up a delicious, inexpensive meal that everyone in your household will love without putting in a ton of extra time or effort.

Today, I’m serving up a round-up of my favorite recipes for baked chicken legs and thighs. These are dishes I’ve made again and again over the years that are simple, nourishing, and incredibly flavorful.

Every recipe included in this post relies on ingredients that are a cinch to find at any grocery store. Many ingredients you are likely to already have in your fridge and pantry.

If you’re wondering what to make for dinner tonight, baked chicken thighs are the answer. If you happen to have potatoes in the house, this Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner is a great idea too.

This is such an easy dinner recipe and my family continues to make it at least once a month. It only takes about 5 minutes of effort to toss the chicken, potatoes, and green beans in a simple lemon and herb vinaigrette before roasting until tender and crisp.

Despite being so easy to prepare and cook, all of these chicken recipes are far and away tastier than almost any takeout meal you could get for the same cost.

Crispy oven-baked chicken thighs are what you need. This recipe only requires about five minutes of preparation and an hour of hands-off cooking time that results in the most crisp, juicy, delicious chicken dinner you could want.
