Have you been looking for gluten-free Hot Cross Bun recipes that will restore that seasonal favorite to your festive Easter table? Well, you’re in luck! With Easter this Sunday, that means Good Friday—also known as National Hot Cross Bun Day in some circles—is this Friday.
Note that other sources say that Hot Cross Bun Day is September 11 but I don’t know anyone who enjoys Hot Cross Buns on that particular day. Of course, if you enjoy Hot Cross Buns and you have the right recipes, you can make and enjoy them any time you like!
In this newly updated collection of gluten-free Hot Cross Bun recipes, you’ll find traditional recipes simply made gluten free, grain-free recipes, gluten-free and vegan recipes, recipes with non-traditional flavors (such as apple and cinnamon, chocolate, and ginger), recipes made from non-traditional ingredients (such as plantain), recipes made in a slightly different way (e.g., microwave singles), and even slightly different Hot Cross delivery methods—muffins, scones, and cookies. Honestly, I think you will love them all!
Hot Cross Buns are one of those seasonal items that get folks very excited because they’re so delicious and also because they usually only make their appearance during a very short period of time. It’s very, very special to enjoy a delicious Hot Cross Bun, but those of us who are gluten free can’t just run down to the corner bakery and pick up a package of hot cross buns as most people can. We require terrific gluten-free recipes from equally terrific gluten-free recipe creators to make our gluten-free Hot Cross Bun recipe dreams come true!
With all these recipes and flavor choices, I kind of feel the same way about Hot Cross Buns as I do about Pumpkin Pies. It would be a shame to only make them once a year! Go ahead and take a look and see which recipes work best for you. Enjoy! Now … and later. (All photos are copyrighted by the individual authors/photographers and reprinted with their permission.)
