    Gluten-Free Brunch Recipes

    Gluten-FreeGrain-FreeVegetarianPaleo

    From stacks of waffles and pancakes to eggs and parfaits, these gluten-free brunch recipes will make any special occasion or weekend get-together easy and delicious.

    Gluten-Free Recipes

    Brunch season is here.  With Easter, Mother’s Day, graduations, bridal showers and baby showers, spring is the season for brunching; and that means plates overflowing with brunch favorites like waffles, pancakes, frittata and more.  Whether you’re celebrating a holiday, a birthday or just an ordinary Sunday, there’s something extra special about savoring a leisurely meal with friends and family.

    I've rounded up 15 of my favorite gluten-free brunch recipes that are special enough for a holiday celebration or a casual weekend get-together.  You’ll find both savory and sweet brunch ideas that accommodate a variety of special diets but don’t skimp on flavor.  Want easy pancakes?  I’ve got them.  Delicious egg dishes?  You’ll find them here.  Pretty parfaits?  You bet!  Just pick a few of your favorites and brunch will be a breeze.

    1. Paleo Waffles with Roasted Strawberry Sauce

    Gluten-Free Waffles on Plate

    It’s hard to beat homemade waffles for breakfast.  Light and fluffy with a toasty golden color, a batch of fresh waffles hot off the iron is always a real treat, especially when they’re as easy to make as these.

    2. Flourless Waffles with Chocolate Sauce

    These flourless almond butter waffles are unbelievably light and crispy at the edges, with a soft, fluffy interior. Serve them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

    3. Paleo Pancakes

    These classic American style silver dollar paleo pancakes are lightly golden on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. Best of all the batter is made easily in the blender!

    4. Baked Blueberry Pancake

    5. Cinnamon Muffins

    8. Baked Vegetable Omelet

    These easy cheesecake parfaits are entirely dairy-free, egg-free and refined sugar-free and can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.
