10 Desserts That Are Bootin’ The Gluten

We ain’t about to let a little gluten allergy get in the way of our dessert eating habits. There are loads of alternative ingredients to create gluten-free versions of our favorite desserts. First it was Girl Scout cookies, and now we are bringing you 10 more gluten-free desserts. Even your non-GF will be begging for more.

1. Brownies: Swap out the flour and sub in the cornstarch. What you get are amazingly decadent brownies to satisfy your next chocolate craving. That simple. (via David Lebovitz)

2. Earl Grey Crème Brulee: So this may be a bit of a cheat as crème brulee is always gluten free, but this custard infused with Earl Grey steps things up with aromatics that will impress guests at your next dinner party. (via Honestly Yum)

3. Red Velvet Cupcakes: Love, it’s the best ingredient out there. And these cupcakes are full of the stuff. The recipe was developed by daughter for celiac mom. Just add coconut flour and some heart felt “awws.” (via Recipe Girl)

4. Apple Crisp: This apple crisp is naturally sweetened with honey, making it a flavorful and healthy alternative to a traditional crisp. (via The Corner Kitchen)

5.Oreo Hack: Oreos have long been loved by vegans, and now glutoids no longer need deprive themselves. A genius blend of gluten-free flours form the perfect chocolate cookies to sandwich vanilla cream. (via Cake ‘n’ Bakes)

6. Pie Crust: You probably have given up on pie completely, huh? Well, this pie crust is not only gluten free, it’s tastier and easier to make than a traditional crust. (via I Am Gluten Free)

7. Chocolate Mousse: This is another recipe that is gluten free by nature, and tastes as good as it looks. Who doesn’t love a large pot of chocolate? (via Inside the Kaganoff Kitchen)

8. Three Ingredient Sunbutter Cookies: These sunflower butter cookies almost sound too easy to be true. Three ingredients, mix, roll and bake. Oh, and if you don’t like the sounds of sunflower butter, use peanut butter instead. (via Coffee and Quinoa)

9. Best Ever Chocolate Quinoa Cake: This is described as the most decadent chocolate cake you’ll ever have. Tasty and nutritious? Uh huh. (via Making Thyme for Health)

10. Five Minute Meringue Sundae: Lucky for us, meringue cookies are naturally gluten free. Simply swap out the chocolate wafers for some shaved chocolate and you have a delicious dessert sundae. (via Oh Joy!)

Sweet Magnolias season 4 is almost here — and based on the new trailer, we're in for a ton of surprises...and not just because Maddie has declared this to be a "new chapter." Despite the tragedy and storm that are coming in the TV show this season, Helen, Maddie, and Dana Sue (JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Heather Headley, and Brooke Elliott) are definitely going to get through it together.

Keep reading for a breakdown of that new Sweet Magnolias season 4 trailer before new episodes drop February 6, 2025.

JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Heather Headley, and Brooke Elliott weather a variety of storms in 'Sweet Magnolias' season 4.

There's always a lot that happens between Halloween and Christmas Day, but Sweet Magnolias season 4 is really packing on the drama. I'm talking "a tragedy, a town crisis and a fierce storm," according to the official trailer.

Throughout the new Sweet Magnolias season 4 trailer, we get a glimpse of that storm, protests in town, and what appears to be a funeral. Dana Sue hugs an emotional Annie, Maddie finally voices her fear of losing someone she loves, and Helen has to deal with just how much the town is struggling. TLDR; Serenity is dealing with a lot of unrest in a lot of different forms. But despite the difficulty the message of the show remains clear.

"We're best friends," Heather Headley's Helen reminds Maddie. "Best friends carry each other, and each other's burdens." And that's really what the show is all about.

Showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson told TUDUM that season 4 will look at "the twists and turns of romance, the complexity of friendship, the surprises that pop up in life and how all these things make us more grateful for the people who love us, the people who fight for — and with — us, and the people who can make us laugh, whatever we’re going through.”

And if you ask me, most importantly, Sweet Magnolias proves that friendship has the power to change our lives. “True friendship is a living thing: It has to change and grow as we do," she continues. "And that’s not always easy. But that’s what makes it beautiful.”

Every January, I commit to a Whole30 month and throughout the year follow the low-carb program for a week or even a day. This year, 2025, I'm going to try to adhere to a low-carb diet all year long.
