Gluten free baking is often synonymous with both xanthan gum, extra dairy and eggs to replace the lack of gluten. What happens, then, when you want or need to bake without either? Today’s roundup of gluten free vegan recipes without xanthan gum addresses exactly that.

Gluten free vegan recipes without xanthan gum

The recipes in this roundup are obviously gluten free, vegan (and thus dairy/egg free) and xanthan gum free. Where possible, I also aim to cater to as many diets as possible. This includes low FODMAP, onion and garlic free, nut free and recipes without starchy flours for a more SIBO friendly approach.

The roundup is divided into meal groupings to help you find what you’re looking for quickly.
