Gluten Free Lemon Ricotta Cookies

Chris and I have always been big fans of lemon desserts, and these Gluten Free Lemon Ricotta Cookies are one of our favourites. They’re soft, slightly cake-like, and have just the right balance of sweetness and fresh lemon flavour. If you love citrus as much as we do, these cookies are bound to become a new go-to treat.

One of the best parts about this recipe is that it makes good use of leftover ricotta. Instead of letting that half container sit in the fridge, you can bake it into something light, bright, and irresistibly delicious. The ricotta keeps the cookies moist and tender, while the lemon zest and juice bring a fresh, tangy finish that makes them perfect for spring, summer, or honestly, any time of year.

Gluten Free Apple Pie

Gluten Free Apple Pie

There’s nothing more classic or comforting than a warm slice of apple pie. This Gluten Free Apple Pie has everything you’d hope for in the perfect pie: a flaky, golden crust, a caramely cinnamon-spiced filling, and plenty of tender apples tucked inside.

For me, apple desserts always feel like fall, and this pie is no exception. This pie is always requested to be served at Thanksgiving dinner. Every bite is a balance of buttery crust, sweet apples, and just the right amount of spice. I like to bake mine until the filling bubbles up around the edges and the whole kitchen smells like cinnamon. It’s the kind of dessert that you will want to bake in the morning, so the caramel filling can set when you cut into it after dinner.

Whether you’re making it for Thanksgiving, a special occasion, or just because you have extra apples to use up, this gluten free apple pie is as cozy as it gets.

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Gluten Free Apple Coffee Cake

There’s something so cozy about baking with apples, and this Gluten Free Apple Coffee Cake is one of my favourite ways to bring those warm fall flavours into the kitchen. I grow apples in my backyard, so once apple season hits, I always have more than enough to bake with. But don’t worry—if you don’t have a tree full of apples waiting for you, this recipe works beautifully with store-bought apples too.

I love using Gala apples in this coffee cake because they’re naturally sweet and hold their shape while baking, but honestly, any apple variety you enjoy will work here. The tender cake base is layered with cinnamon-sugar apples, then topped with a buttery streusel crumble that bakes into a golden, slightly crunchy topping. It’s simple, delicious, and makes the whole house smell incredible.

Serve it warm with a cup of coffee for the perfect afternoon treat, or enjoy it as a sweet addition to a weekend brunch spread. However you serve it, this apple coffee cake is bound to be a new family favourite.

Gluten Free Beef and Broccoli

This is a meal I make almost every week because it’s quick, satisfying, and packed with flavour. Juicy slices of beef are tossed with tender-crisp broccoli, all coated in a rich, garlicky gluten free sauce. Not only does it rival anything you’d get from takeout, or a jar it is fresher and with very few ingredients.

At Laura Bakes Gluten Free, our kitchen is very much an ingredient household—and that doesn’t just come from baked goods, but from everyday cooking too. This beef and broccoli has become one of Chris’s favourite dinners. Plus, I love how it comes together in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients I always have on hand. This is served over fluffy rice and it’s a complete weekday dinner that everyone at the table enjoys.

Gluten Free Peach Crisp

Gluten Free Peach Crisp

Few desserts capture the taste of summer quite like a peach crisp. Bursting with sweet, juicy peaches and topped with a golden, buttery oat crumble, this gluten free peach crisp is pure comfort in every bite. It’s the kind of recipe that feels rustic and homestyle, yet it’s elegant enough to serve at a dinner party with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

What makes this recipe a favourite of mine is just how simple it is. You only need a handful of pantry ingredients. Along with a pile of ripe peaches, and about 15 minutes of prep time before the oven does the rest of the work. Whether you’re using fresh peaches at their peak or frozen/caned ones when you want a taste of summer any time of year, this crisp is always a hit.

Gluten Free Pop Tarts

Homemade pop tarts are one of those recipes that instantly take you back to childhood—but these gluten free raspberry pop tarts are all grown up. Made with a tender, flaky gluten free pastry and filled with sweet-tart homemade raspberry jam (straight from my backyard raspberry bush!), they’re the perfect mix of nostalgic and made-from-scratch goodness.

What I love most about this recipe is how customizable it is. You can stick with classic raspberry, or swap in your favourite jam or fruit filling. The pastry bakes up golden and crisp, and if you want to go all out, you can drizzle them with a simple glaze and a sprinkle of sprinkles for that iconic pop tart finish. Whether you enjoy them warm from the oven or save them for a grab-and-go breakfast, these gluten free pop tarts are proof that homemade is always better.

Gluten Free Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins

There’s nothing quite like baking with fresh fruit you’ve picked yourself, and these gluten free raspberry white chocolate muffins are my favourite way to use up the raspberries growing in my backyard. Every summer, my raspberry bush gives me more berries than I know what to do with—and while snacking on them straight from the garden is always a treat, I love folding them into these bakery-style muffins. The juicy, tart raspberries pair beautifully with sweet, creamy white chocolate, making every bite taste like something special.

These muffins are soft, fluffy, and perfectly golden on top, just like the ones you’d find at a coffee shop—but they’re made gluten free so everyone can enjoy them. They’re wonderful fresh from the oven, but they also freeze well, so you can bake a batch and stash some away for later. Whether you’re looking for a grab-and-go breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a sweet addition to a summer brunch spread, these raspberry white chocolate muffins are a delicious way to make the most of raspberry season.

Gluten Free Angel Food Cake – in a Loaf Pan

Angel food cake is a classic light and airy dessert beloved for its delicate texture and subtle sweetness. Traditionally baked in a tube pan, I’ve put a twist on this gluten-free favourite by baking it in a bundt pan for an elegant shape that’s just as stunning as it is delicious. The result? A fluffy, cloud-like cake with a tender crumb and a beautiful presentation that’s perfect for any occasion.

This gluten-free bundt angel food cake is surprisingly simple to make, using just a few wholesome ingredients to achieve that iconic lift and softness. Whether you’re serving it plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with fresh berries and whipped cream, it’s a light dessert that everyone will love—gluten free or not.
