Whether you've had a long day, a bad break up, or are just missing home, comfort food is the soul food that we all go for. It's rich in flavor, delectable to eat, and a well-deserved treat. Unfortunately, many comfort foods are breaded or contain white flour, meaning anyone who eats gluten-free can't enjoy these eats. Below are some of my favorite gluten-free comfort food recipes for anyone who's gluten intolerant.
1. Burrata Jalapeño Poppers
These jalapeño poppers put a modern twist on the classic dish. They're perfect at tailgates and parties, or whenever you're craving gooey cheese.
2. Vegan Mac and Cheese

3. Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
You won't be able to say no to these sugary goodies. The fresh cinnamon and the warm dough make this gluten-free donut irresistible.
4. Pizza Cups
When a slice of pizza is too mainstream for you snack on, try making gluten-free pizza cups. This is an easy gluten free comfort food recipe to prepare, and you can even add toppings of your choice to these cheesy pizza cups to take it up a notch .
5. Banana Chocolate Chip Brownies
Banana bread and chocolate chips come together to create these gluten-free banana chocolate chip brownie. It's crispy on the outside and soft in the center, making it just right.

10. Buckwheat Crepe
