How about these gluten-free Kentucky Derby pies? The Best Gluten-Free Kentucky Derby-Worthy Pies! Or maybe some Kentucky Derby cupcakes? Here are seven fabulous pie options—including my newest pecan pie recipe, Luxurious Pecan Pie—and two very appropriate cupcake options (Not Derby Pie Cupcakes and Mint Julep Cupcakes) as a bonus!

If you hadn’t thought about celebrating Derby Day before, you sure are now, right? Will you choose pie, cupcakes, or make some of each? If you’re inviting friends or family over to watch, you’ll want to feed them well!

I’m thinking Pimento Cheese Spread or Mom’s Deviled Eggs would be great options for the appetizers. And for the main dish portion of your meal, perhaps Perfect Gluten-Free Chicken Breasts, Sunset Shrimp Salad, or Southern-Fried Oysters, For the bread choice, I’d go for The Best Gluten-Free Corn Muffins or one of The Best Gluten-Free Biscuits.

Now let’s get to those winning desserts!

I can't imagine a better way to celebrate the Kentucky Derby than enjoying gluten-free Kentucky Derby Pies! (These pies are winners!) Except perhaps enjoying some equally appropriate and delicious cupcakes! [featured on GlutenFreeEasily.com]

It seems that about 120,000 Mint Juleps are consumed at the Kentucky Derby each year. (Who knows how many are actually consumed all over the world?) Honestly, I’d prefer my Mint Julep in the form of this cupcake—also from In Johnna’s Kitchen—thank you!
