Valentine’s Day, I do love thee! I love it when there’s a reason to take a break and show some love to all our sweethearts! Hubbies, wives, partners, daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, teachers, friends … and the list happily goes on! And how will we show our love to them? With gluten-free Valentine’s Day dessert recipes, of course!
My favorite colors when it comes to Valentine’s Day are pink, red, and chocolate. Haha! But it’s true, folks—and not necessarily in that order. I’m sure you know what I mean!
There are all kinds of gluten-free Valentine’s Day recipes here—ones that are “just gluten free” or “grain free” or “gluten free and vegan” or “paleo.” And much more. That’s simply the way we do it on gfe. There’s always something for everyone!
Note: I’ve labeled the recipes according to the creator’s information or my perusal of the ingredients for gluten, grain, dairy, eggs, sugar, vegan, paleo, and primal. Please know that many of these recipes are likely to be free of other ingredients as well (e.g., soy, nuts), but I didn’t offer that information if the creator didn’t share it, because I am not familiar with the cross-contact concerns with those specific ingredients. However, if you have additional intolerances/allergies, I’d still suggest taking a look at all the recipes that interest you to see if there could be additional safe options you could enjoy.

Wow, just wow! This is a fantabulous roundup. So many recipes I want, no NEED, to try. Thank you for including my recipe for those of us who like things a little spicy. 😉
Shirley says
Hehe on needing to try so many of these … hey, I get it! 🙂 You know I love those Sriracha Cashews (short name) of yours. I can think about them and instantly remember exactly how they taste. And then the craving starts … They will convert non-spicy food lovers—typically me—to fans for sure!

Wowzers. I think there’s only one person in the world who can handle this much goodness — me! I’ll take one of each please 😉
Thanks for the wonderful roundup as always, Shirley. The “more free” title really made me laugh! 🙂

Haha! I LOVE your comment, Audrey! It would be fun to have these all spread out in front of us with tiny morsels to sample. 😉 I’ve used the “more free” title many times before; this must be the first time you’ve see it. Glad it tickled you! 🙂
