There are plenty of gluten-free casseroles to fill up a meal plan, like broccoli and rice, or sausage and potatoes. When you want baked pasta, though, you’ll have to look for a substitute.
Instead of using gluten-free pasta like quinoa, spaghetti squash is used as the “grain” in this casserole for a gluten-free chicken parm. So while it’s a baked casserole, this is also a healthy dinner of lean meat and veggies.
Serves 8
Ingredients
Chicken:
1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast
1 large egg
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup (about 1 oz.) grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. dried basil
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Casserole:
4 cups cooked spaghetti squash
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 1/2 cups easy keto marinara sauce
6 oz. fresh mozzarella

A lot of gluten-free foods have a higher price tag when you buy the packaged version. But make them yourself, and you can cut costs, especially for something simple like gluten-free cereal.
This one has so many delicious ingredients – including coconut, almond, pecans, and even baked lentils – that you’ll enjoy it more than the premade granola, whether you eat it in a bowl of cereal with milk or mix some into yogurt.
Serves 15 / Makes 5 cups
Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups cooked lentils (from 3/4 cup dry lentils)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp. coconut sugar

Not every kind of flour is going to make fluffy gluten-free biscuits. For this cheddar bay biscuit copycat recipe, like the ones at Red Lobster, it’s recommended to use Arthur’s Flour gluten-free baking mix.
It contains a blend of enriched brown rice flour, potato starch, and leavening agents like baking soda. That blend makes this cheesy biscuit light even though the flavors are rich.
Serves 12
Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free baking mix
1 cup milk
1 cup (about 4 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, divided
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 Tbsp. butter, melted

These chocolate donuts are going to disappear in minutes – and that’s ok. They don’t contain any flour and only have all-natural sugars from mashed banana.

Serves 4 / Makes 12

Donut:
2 Tbsp. cold brew coffee concentrate
1/2 medium banana, mashed

2 Tbsp. cacao powder

It’s possible to make gluten-free bagels – and even to find them in grocery stores – but low-carb bagels? This recipe manages to do that and even more.
The “bagel” is a dough made from almond, coconut, mozzarella, and cream cheese. That’s wrapped around a hot dog, sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning, and baked until golden brown. This is one gluten-free lunch recipe you’ll want to try even if you’re not following a special diet.
Serves 6
Ingredients
Hot Dogs:
1/4 cup almond flour
3 Tbsp. coconut flour
1 tsp. onion powder

4 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. cream cheese
1 large egg

Instead of looking for a gluten-free flour that replaces wheat, you can substitute your favorite protein powder.
This recipe also uses dried black beans, which can be ground into a flour to mix with whey and rice protein for a nutritional profile that goes beyond balanced. The result is a gluten-free bread that’s delicious slathered in almond butter for breakfast or a post-workout snack.
Serves 12
Ingredients
3/4 cup dried black beans, ground into flour
3 scoops WHEY+ vanilla protein isolate
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. rice protein powder
2 tsp. psyllium husks
1/2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup applesauce

Gluten-free baking can use a whole lot of alternatives to wheat flour. Many recipes use a mix of different ones to achieve the right texture, so be sure to check what was originally used by the baker. In this case, it’s a blend of rice, millet, sorghum, and more. Pick up Arrowhead Mills if you don’t want to make a gluten-free baking mix from scratch.
These gluten-free muffins are more like a healthy carrot cake, complete with icing. Turn them into gluten-free cupcakes that have less sugar by making a cream cheese frosting with whey protein powder instead of the honey and heavy cream.

3/4 cup raw honey
1 tsp. baking soda
