Valentine’s Day, I do love thee! I love it when there’s a reason to take a break and show some love to all our sweethearts! Hubbies, wives, partners, daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, teachers, friends … and the list happily goes on! And how will we show our love to them? With gluten-free Valentine’s Day dessert recipes, of course!

My favorite colors when it comes to Valentine’s Day are pink, red, and chocolate. Haha! But it’s true, folks—and not necessarily in that order. I’m sure you know what I mean!

There are all kinds of gluten-free Valentine’s Day recipes here—ones that are “just gluten free” or “grain free” or “gluten free and vegan” or “paleo.” And much more. That’s simply the way we do it on gfe. There’s always something for everyone!

Note: I’ve labeled the recipes according to the creator’s information or my perusal of the ingredients for gluten, grain, dairy, eggs, sugar, vegan, paleo, and primal. Please know that many of these recipes are likely to be free of other ingredients as well (e.g., soy, nuts), but I didn’t offer that information if the creator didn’t share it, because I am not familiar with the cross-contact concerns with those specific ingredients. However, if you have additional intolerances/allergies, I’d still suggest taking a look at all the recipes that interest you to see if there could be additional safe options you could enjoy.
