gluten free option

In this collection, you will find all of my favourite vegan recipes with gluten-free options.

These recipes require easy gluten-free ingredient swaps, like using your favourite gluten-free pasta in my creamy lemon orzo or in this vegan pasta with rose sauce. Other recipes with simple gluten-free swaps include this vegan buffalo cauliflower pizza and this delicious banana bread recipe.

Looking for even more vegan recipes with simple gluten-free options and swaps? The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
