6 Gluten Free Fall Dessert Recipes - Iowa Girl Eats (2024)

If you follow Us Weekly on Instagram stories then you’ve probably seen their “who wore it best” polls where they show two celebrities wearing the same outfit side by side then you decide…who wore it best. You got it.

The only thing sadder than the fact that I don’t know 2/3 of the celebrities they feature (WHY AM I SO OLD) is that I pick the “wrong” outfit 99% of the time. It’s almost as stressful as taking a standardized test! Wondering if you have no fashion sense is one thing. Immediately being shown howlittle you actually have when the results reveal that you and like, 4 other people, picked the wrong outfit is quite another. For what it’s worth, Rachel Brosnahan and Larsen Thompson – whoever you two ladies are – I think you both look really nice in your saucy black jumpers.

Anyway, what I lack in good taste in fashion, I make up for with good tasting desserts – especiallyin the fall desserts category – which is why I’m sharing six MUST TRY gluten free fall dessert recipes today! Although we’re having somewhat of a second summer with super hot temps right now, it’s also been rainy and grey which has put me in the fall baking and mostly eating sort of mood. (Oh my gosh, the combination of hot temps and a craving for pumpkin just reminded me of this epic fall baking fail, hahaha!)

Truly though, fall is just around the corner and if you too have a craving for pumpkin, spice, and everything nice, this list is what fall dessert cravings are made of. These are six of my top rated fall dessert recipes, all are gluten free and, although we’ve been talking about baking, only half actually require an oven,

I hope you love these gorgeous, festive, cozy, delicious, and decadent dessert recipes. Let me know which one is your favorite!

BONUS! Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Ok, Pumpkin Spice Lattes aren’t technically dessert, but most coffee shop-bought PSLs have enough sugar to be classified as one! My version is not only low in sugar but easy to make using espresso, coffee, or with no caffeine at all. My boys love this yummy, fall drink!
