Everything you need for a beautiful Easter brunch table. Easter brunch always makes me nostalgic—growing up we often celebrated at a country club with my grandparents and an incredible brunch buffet. Later, my mom began creating impressive brunch spreads at home, and now Easter just means brunch to me.
Below is a curated roundup of breakfast and brunch recipes that are all gluten free, and many are plant-based. These are some of my favorite dishes that will make your spring spread delicious and memorable.
I recommend choosing a few sweet and savory options to offer variety. Complement the menu with fresh fruit and scrambled eggs, and add bacon or sausage if you like. Pick a mix so guests can assemble plates to their liking. I can’t wait to see what you make!
Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls. Soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet—these rolls are a reader favorite. In a short time they’ve earned many five-star reviews and are perfect for a special brunch treat.
Tip: Bake them close to serving time for best texture. For extra sweetness, add a tablespoon or two more coconut sugar to the filling.
Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Breakfast Bake. A cozy, savory main that combines green veggies, eggs, melty cheese, and quinoa for a hearty dish. It’s satisfying and perfect for feeding a crowd.
Tip: Cook the quinoa the night before to speed up morning prep.
Marble Chocolate Banana Muffins. No brunch is complete without muffins. These gluten free (and paleo) muffins are tender and can be dairy free. They’re a lovely, coffee-friendly option that looks and tastes delightful.
Tip: Keep some ripe bananas on hand. These also travel well and can be baked the day before.
Gluten Free Yogurt Bagels. If you want fresh-baked bagels instead of store-bought, these yogurt bagels are easy, higher in protein and fiber, and pair wonderfully with scrambled eggs or a bagel board—cream cheese, sliced veggies, and lox.
Gluten Free Zucchini Bread. This loaf is moist, sweet, and fluffy—you’d never guess it’s gluten free. It’s a crowd-pleaser and makes a comforting sweet addition to your Easter morning table.
Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Biscuits. A unique favorite that blends omelette-like filling, biscuit texture, and broccoli-cheddar flavor. They’re hearty, flavorful, and a fun alternative to plain eggs—guests often request seconds.
Gluten Free Lemon Loaf. Light, fresh, and perfect with berries. I like adding optional poppy seeds for texture and brightness. For a colorful twist, try the strawberry lemon loaf version.
Tip: For the best texture, use a reliable 1-for-1 gluten free baking flour such as Bob’s Red Mill or Cup4Cup.
Vegan Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes. Not a typical brunch item, but cheesy potatoes are always welcome. These are rich, comforting, and surprisingly easy to make—an indulgent side that pairs well with many main dishes.
Gluten Free Carrot Cake. No Easter brunch feels complete without carrot cake. This version is gluten free, can be dairy free, and uses a yogurt-based cream cheese frosting for a moist, tender crumb and classic flavor.
Tip: Make the frosting the night before and refrigerate to save time on the morning of your brunch.
Simple Lemon Ricotta Toast. A light, bright toast option that’s easy to assemble. Make the ricotta ahead of time if you like, then toast the bread and top with lemon zest, honey, and a sprinkle of salt for a refreshing bite.
Tip: Prepare the ricotta the day before and simply toast or warm the bread when ready to serve.
