30 Gluten Free Recipes for Kids

The ultimate list of gluten free recipes for kids. These recipes are delicious, healthy, unique, but above all they are fun recipes your kids and family will love. In this list, you’ll find snacks, meals, and healthy(ish) dessert recipes.


Even though my daughter is only 8 months old, I have spent the past few years working as a nanny and babysitter. I know first hand how difficult it can be to think of kid-friendly recipes. Thinking of gluten free recipes for kids can be even more challenging. That’s why I wanted to make this jumbo list of all sorts of amazing recipes from some incredible food bloggers.

I’d love to know which recipe you and your family end up trying from this list. Leave me a comment down below to share your favorite recipe from this list!

Do you have other food allergies?

Notice while Eat or Drink normally creates recipes that are gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and peanut free this list only focuses on gluten free recipes. Many of these recipes do contain dairy, peanut, and egg. If you want recipes that are free of the above you may like 28 Gluten Free Healthy Treats for Kids, 14 Gluten Free and Dairy Free Side Dishes, or Gluten Free Slow Cooker Recipes.
