9 Gluten Free Dairy Free Desserts That Are A Must This Summer

Miley Cyrus, the famed “Malibu” singer, is a well-known advocate of the vegan lifestyle. Along with being cruelty-free, the singer has also opened up about being gluten-free and her struggles with having a gluten allergy.

Although 1 out of every 133 people suffer from celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that results in gluten intolerance, nearly 18 million Americans have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Like Miley Cyrus, for those suffering from a sensitivity to gluten—a protein commonly found in wheat, barley, and rye—ingesting products containing gluten can lead to digestive problems. Gluten sensitivity can also result in a number of other undesirable symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, muscle aches, skin breakouts, and even dizziness.

While wheat is a common base for flour—which means that wheat flours contain gluten—there are many gluten-free flour substitutes that can be used, such as coconut flour or rice flour. Xanthan or guar gum, flax, and chia seeds also make excellent gluten-replacers because they are able to mimic the qualities of gluten in baking—binding ingredients together and providing the overall structure for baked goods.

Those suffering from celiac disease, or a sensitivity to gluten, may find themselves desperately trying to satisfy a sweet tooth—but dietary restrictions or food allergies shouldn’t keep you from indulging in a few delectable treats! Whether you’re desiring pies, cakes, brownies, or pudding—we’ve got you covered! Try out some of our favorite gluten free dairy free desserts. Enjoy!
