Gluten Free Recipes for Winter Warmers

7 December 2024

Gluten Free Recipes for Winter Warmers

Following a strict gluten free diet can feel a little easier in the summer season, when there are lots of naturally gluten free options to choose from. But as the nights draw in and the winter chill starts to bite, we all tend to crave more filling, warming foods like pies and pasta, crumbles and puddings.

These types of food will often contain gluten, but the good news is that you can switch to gluten free recipes for all these favourites, which are every bit as filling and warming. We’ve gathered together some of our most popular winter warmers, from filling lunches and delicious dinners to steaming desserts that just cry out for custard.

Lunches

Whether you’re eating ‘al desko’, munching on the move, or taking a seat in your work’s canteen, you can still enjoy a tasty lunch – and if you can warm it in the office microwave, or serve it fresh from the oven at home, it will be even more satisfying. Check out these easy to prepare gluten free recipes:

Gluten Free Soup Recipes – brilliant in a bowl, or to warm your hands on in a mug, these superb gluten free soups can be heated at home and popped in a flask.

Gluten Free Vegetable Pasties – packed with veggie goodness, these tasty pasties are meat free as well as gluten free.

Gluten Free Cornish Pasties – the original and the best, these marvellous meaty treats have been satisfying the whole family for generations.

Gluten Free Macaroni Cheese – with mouth-watering melted cheese and a rich sauce, you’ll be counting down to lunch all morning!

Gluten Free Cheese And Prosciutto Bake taking mac ‘n’ cheese to the next level, with prosciutto ham, cauliflower and garlic.

Dinner

Draw the curtains to shut out the night and gather the family around the table for a feast that will fill their bellies and warm their hearts. These gluten free recipes put your family favourites back on the menu for everyone:

Gluten Free Meatballs – made with pork and beef, as well as rosemary, thyme and garlic, this continental classic will bring some Italian sunshine to any winter’s day.

Gluten Free Toad In The Hole – a favourite with kids and big kids alike, smother it with gluten free gravy and get stuck in!

Gluten Free Mediterranean Tomato Bake – delivering even more of that Mediterranean sunshine to your winter dinner table, featuring crumbled feta cheese and crushed walnuts.

Ham And Cheese Croquetas – treat them to a hot snack after a cold walk home from school with these cheesy croquetas, or you can serve them with chips and peas for tea.

Gluten Free Beef Wellington – one of our most impressive gluten free recipes for that special occasion.

Perfect pies

Of all the treats we miss most in winter on a gluten free diet, piping hot pies are top of the list, but with these gluten free recipes you can keep crunching those crusts all winter long. Bake individual pies to enjoy cold as a snack for a luxurious lunch, or bake a big one for a delicious dinner with mash and veg. Take a look at these tasty gluten free pies:

Gluten Free Chicken Leek And Mushroom Pie – creamy and satisfying, with chicken breast, chestnut mushrooms and crème fraiche

Gluten Free Beef And Mushroom Pie – a pot of pure comfort food, topped with a crispy pastry lid and served with a side of chutney

Gluten Free Steak And Ale Pie – gluten free ales mean you can still enjoy this pub-grub classic, with all the hearty flavours you love

Gluten Free Steak And Kidney Pie – the original and the best, steak and kidney are the perfect partners for your winter warmer pie

Gluten Free Lamb Cobbler – not strictly a pie, but just as welcome on a winter’s night, our lamb cobbler looks as good as it tastes

Puddings

You might think that your favourite puddings are off limits on a gluten free diet, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered on those too. These gluten free recipes will bring back fond memories of childhood meals when getting pudding was the only reason you ever ate your vegetables!

Gluten Free Select Steamed Syrup Pudding – satisfying and dripping in glorious golden syrup, this is what winter is all about.

Gluten Free Bread And Butter Pudding – with a gluten free custard cooked in, this traditional pudding is full of seasonal flavour from mixed fruit and apricots.

Gluten Free Select Soft Centre Chocolate Pudding – a real show-stopper, oozing with rich, indulgent chocolate sauce that seeps out from the centre.

Gluten Free Raspberry And Apple Crumble – crisp and crunchy, sweet and tantalisingly tart, this gluten free recipe has it all. Just add gluten free custard*.

Gluten Free Sticky Toffee Pudding – the ultimate indulgence for the real sweet tooth in the family, this is a favourite all year round.

*Many shop-bought custards are gluten free, but always check the label to be sure. Birds say that their famous custard powder ‘does not have any gluten containing ingredients… and controls are in place to minimise the risk of cross contamination with gluten-containing ingredients’, although they stop short of classifying it as gluten free.
