Vegan gluten free dessert recipes

It can be hard to find recipes when you have more than one dietary requirement. As a gluten free, low FODMAP pescetarian/vegetarian, I know this as well as anyone. Which is why I wanted to write today’s roundup: vegan gluten free dessert recipes (that happen to be low FODMAP). There’s something for all tastes and I aim to include as many dietaries as I can.

Vegan gluten free dessert recipes

These dessert recipes are all gluten free and vegan (obviously). However, they are also mostly low FODMAP and either nut free or include a nut free option. Most more niche dietary requirements are also catered to: soy free, corn free and xanthan gum free, to name a few. I aim to include as many substitutions in each recipe for everything I post, sweet or savoury.

Low FODMAP date bark bites

A low FODMAP answer to the viral date bark, these bites divide the dates out into smaller portions. Use a vegan chocolate (I like Lindt 70%) to ensure these are vegan.
