    The BEST Gluten Free Thanksgiving Desserts

    Published: Nov 16, 2020 · Modified: Nov 13, 2020 by Taleen Benson · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Today I thought I would do something different here and share a round-up of 12 easy gluten free Thanksgiving desserts! As always, all of these recipes are also eggless and free of nuts 🙂

    I know from personal experience how challenging holidays can be for someone with food allergies, as you try to figure out what to serve or, if you're attending a party as a guest, whether or not there will be anything there you can actually eat.

    So here's my round-up of the BEST gluten free Thanksgiving desserts you can make, either to serve at your own dinner or take with you as a guest. Offering to take your own dish will not only ensure that it's 100% safe for you, it's also one less thing your host has to worry about making! I think that's a win-win.

    Gluten Free Pumpkin Recipes

    1. Easy Pumpkin Bread

    My easy pumpkin bread may be the most moist quick bread recipe you will ever try. Plus, all of that chocolate in every bite goes so well with the pumpkin flavor!

    2. Pumpkin Cheesecake

    This eggless pumpkin cheesecake has just the right balance of flavors. It's tangy, sweet, and pumpkin-y, not to mention beyond creamy!

    3. Pumpkin Roll

    What's Thanksgiving without a good gluten free pumpkin roll? This looks like a seriously impressive dessert, but is surprisingly easy to make! Don't be intimidated -- I walk you through it all in my post.

    4. Pumpkin Pie Truffles

    My no-bake pumpkin pie truffles take all of my favorite things about pumpkin pie, rolled up into little bite-sized treats. That rich chocolate coating is the perfect finishing touch.

    7. Apple Pie Cookies

    When Matt tried these apple pie cookies for the first time, his initial reaction was: these taste like Thanksgiving. If that's not convincing enough, consider this: they're extra soft and packed with white chocolate chips.

    8. Easy Apple Muffins With Caramel Sauce

    If you're thinking about departing from traditional pies for something a little more unconventional this year, go for my eggless butterscotch pie. The shortbread crust is slightly salty and balances out the rich filling perfectly.
