Gluten is a kind of protein that is typically found in grains such as barley, wheat, cereals and rye. There are no serious consequences with having gluten for most people; yet, a small set of people with certain health conditions might face complications while having gluten and it is advised that these people avoid it altogether.
However, avoiding gluten could be a daunting task as the ingredients that are rich in gluten are used in most of the desserts for daily consumption. There are workarounds to this dessert problem as people with gluten sensitivity could prepare dishes by avoiding gluten-rich foods without compromising on the flavour profile, and in this article, let us look closer at the six gluten-free desserts that you could incorporate into your diet.
#1 Rice Pudding with Yogurt
Place the rice, milk, sugar and required amounts of salt in a saucepan and bring it to boil until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid. Then, remove it from heat and stir it while adding coconut oil. Let it cool or serve it hot with a spoon of plain or flavoured yogurt.
One serving of rice pudding with yogurt provides around 200 calories of energy.
#2 Peanut Butter Cookies
Add peanut butter, eggs and sugar to a bowl and mix it until it forms a smooth mixture. Include chocolate chips and nuts if needed. Spoon the batter onto a cookie sheet and place it in a preheated oven for around ten minutes.
One serving of peanut butter cookies are a rich source of energy and provide around 500 calories of energy.
#3 Berries and Coconut Cream
This is a simple recipe, and one could do it in a matter of minutes. Take one cup of coconut cream, one cup of your preferred berries and blend it for the required amount of time. Serve it on a plate along with a couple of strawberries.
One serving of this dish with low-carb coconut cream contains around 420 calories of energy.
#4 Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie
Add eggs, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, salt and ginger into a bowl and blend until it reaches an even composition. Then, add milk and pumpkin to the bowl and stir it until it becomes a smooth mixture. Transfer the mixture into a pie dish and bake it in a preheated oven for the required amount of time. Wait for it to cool down and serve it with whipped cream.
One serving of gluten-free pumpkin pie provides around 160 calories of energy.
#5 Flourless Chocolate Cake
Prepare hot sugar-water by heating water, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Melt the chocolate, add butter and eggs, and whisk it until it forms an even mixture.
