And just like that, we’re wrapping up another year around the sun. Each year goes faster than the last – make it make sense!
Before I share the Top 10 Most Popular Gluten Free Recipes in 2025 as decided by your clicks, visits, and shares, I want to thank you as always for visiting my gluten free corner of the internet.
I began Iowa Girl Eats in 2009 (had to triple check that!) as a young twenty-something, eager to connect with like-minded individuals. Never, in a million years, did I expect my business to take off and look the way it does 16 years later. I am the luckiest!!
That said, 2025 was a very difficult year for businesses like mine as the Internet fundamentally and forever changed due to AI and the way search engines return search results. ChatGPT and Google’s AI-mode + AI-overviews have decimated content-based websites by absorbing traffic that would otherwise go to the website.
That being said, Iowa Girl Eats is going nowhere, but the best way to support your favorite recipe (or home, travel, etc.) creators is to visit their websites directly to find recipes. Or, ironically, Google “recipe name + your favorite recipe creator”. For example, “Iowa Girl Eats + Chicken and Rice”, to find the recipe you’re looking for. Thank you for considering.
In happier news, this was such a FUN year of gluten free food!
I finally tackled this, which has been on my list of recipes to develop and test for YEARS. It’s rock-solid, and I have a killer quiche recipe coming your way in 2026.
I published this recipe just prior to Christmas and it’s already racked up tens of thousands of views. As the name implies, it’s irresistible!
I’m glad to add these and this to my arsenal of tried and true gluten free baking recipes to whip up anytime I need them.
These have become a go-to side with dinner. They go with everything and there’s never a drop left.
This is my personal favorite new recipe from 2025. “Soft and chewy” is rarely used to describe anything GF, but these babies are that and more!
Without further ado, here are the Top 10 new recipes on Iowa Girl Eats in 2025 as chosen by your clicks, views, and shares.
