Vegan Gluten-Free Recipes (2024)

If you can’t have gluten and are also eating plant-based, it can be tricky to find good and healthy vegan gluten-free recipes.

Luckily, you’ll find that cooking and baking vegan gluten-free recipes is easier than you think! All you have to do is follow my simple recipes and you’ll make yourself a delicious breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, or dessert.

What Are Vegan Gluten-Free Recipes?

Vegan Gluten-Free recipes are all these recipes that combine two rather restrictive diets: gluten-free diet and vegan diet.

They are for people that both have celiac disease, or just a gluten intolerance, and choose to follow a plant-based diet, either by conviction or necessity.

As a result, these recipe exclude all the food containing the following ingredients:

Wheat and its derivatives: Flour, classic bread, some soy sauce, breading, spelt, pasta, couscous, classic pizzas, classic pastries, croutons, classic pancakes and crepes, wheat cereals, etc. People on a gluten-free diet replace flour with gluten-free alternatives.
Meat: People on a plant-based diet don’t eat any meat. Vegans get their protein from beans, legumes, and nuts.
Animal Milk: cow milk, sheep milk, goat milk, etc. They replace it with almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, etc. Milk-based products are also excluded, such as cheese, butter, cream, whipped cream, etc.
Honey
And all other animal-based or animal-produced ingredients.

While it might sound restrictive, there are still hundreds of delicious recipes you can make.

You just have to follow well-tested recipes, because very often gluten-free baking recipes use many eggs to make gluten-free flour hold, which is not possible on a vegan diet.

Ingredients You Can Use

While there are a number of ingredients excluded by a vegan gluten-free diet, you can use many others such as:

Rice: Classic rice, brown rice, rice flour, etc.
Chickpeas: Canned chickpeas, hummus, brine, chickpea flour, etc.
Beans: black beans, cannoli beans, etc.
Quinoa and other grains and seeds like lentils to make a delicious curry or soup
Spices: like garlic, chili, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, etc.
Soya: Edamame, tofu, soy milk, tempeh, etc.
Veggies: all of them, from zucchini to carrots, eggplant, bell pepper, peas, etc.
Herbs: parsley, cilantro, etc.
Certified gluten-free oats and oat flour
