🍂 Fall already? Gluten-Free Recipes to Kick Off Autumn

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Can you believe it’s already the second day of fall? 🍁

My kitchen is officially in cozy-mode even though its 80 degrees here in Chicago — which means chili simmering on the stove top, warm spices, and plenty of gluten-free baking.

If you’re craving something seasonal, here are a few of my favorite gluten-free recipes to kick off autumn:

  • ​Gluten-Free Shepherd's Pie - Layers of creamy mashed potatoes, savory ground beef, and tender vegetables baked together for the ultimate fall comfort meal.
  • ​Gluten-Free Pot Roast – Slow-braised beef that’s melt-in-your-mouth tender, cooked with carrots, onions, and potatoes in a rich, flavorful gluten-free gravy.
  • ​Gluten-Free Apple Fritters – Golden, crispy bites of fried dough filled with juicy apple chunks, drizzled with a sweet glaze — like fall at the apple orchard in dessert form.
  • ​Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cookies - Soft and pillowy cookies full of pumpkin spice flavor, topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting for the perfect fall treat.
  • ​Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread - Moist and tender pumpkin bread with just the right amount of warm spices — a cozy slice that pairs perfectly with your morning coffee.
  • ​Gluten-Free Apple Cake - A moist, single-layer cake loaded with fresh apples and cinnamon. No frosting needed — it’s deliciously simple and perfect for fall gatherings.

Whether you’re craving something savory and comforting or a pumpkin-spiced treat, there’s a gluten-free recipe here for every fall mood!

Happy Fall!

Hi Reader! Last weekend, we packed up the car and drove to Wisconsin for a little fall adventure—apple picking! My toddler had the best time walking through the orchard, carefully picking apples off the trees, and taking enthusiastic bites out of each one she grabbed.
