12 Gluten Free Desserts to Make This Mother’s Day

10 gluten free desserts for mother's day

We all love our Mums, right? Mum is the best person in the world. So why not treat her to a special, home-cooked meal? Here are 12 gluten free desserts to make for your Mumma this Mother’s Day.

1. Gluten Free Berry Banana Bread

This banana bread is so easy to make – just dump all the ingredients into a bowl, give it a quick stir, and throw it into the oven. It has a nice strong banana flavour, and the berries burst and bleed into the cake which gives it a gorgeous pop of colour. A definite crowd-pleaser!

Check out the recipe here.

2. Gluten Free Crêpes with Cinnamon Baked Apricots

Maybe your Mum is more of a breakfast person? These classic crêpes are the perfect vehicle for fillings sweet or savoury. Here, I’ve paired them with some delicious cinnamon baked apricots, but you could just as easily fill them with ham, cheese, and a fried egg, or even some smoked salmon and sautéed spinach.

Find the recipe here.

3. Gluten Free Cherry and Almond Tea Cake

This cake is actually super dangerous. You will not be able to stop at one slice, it’s that delicious. The crumb is amazingly moist and buttery, and the cherries are nice and tart. Your Mum will love this (so make sure you save her some, don’t eat it all yourself!).

Recipe here.

4. Gluten Free Lingonberry Bakewell Tart

This recipe takes the classic British Bakewell Tart and gives it a Swedish spin, with the addition of Lingonberry jam. It’s super sweet and buttery, and best enjoyed with a strong cup of tea and a good book.

5. Gluten Free Orange, Almond and Cinnamon Cake

You can’t go past a classic Orange and Almond cake. That pairing never gets old. Add some cinnamon into the mix, and bam, you’ve got yourself a winner.

It’s so easy you almost don’t need a recipe, but here it is anyway.

6. Gluten Free Chocolate and Hazelnut Tarts
