40 Must Make Gluten-Free Fig Recipes

40 mouth-watering must-make gluten-free fig recipes this season, with paleo and vegan options!

Sweet, ripe, juicy figs are near impossible to beat in my opinion, and didyouknow they’re packed with nutrients? Figs are a good source of Vitamins A, E, K, B1, B2, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, iron, manganese, potassium, etc. Plus, they’re high  in natural sugars and fiber, making them a delicious and healthful treat option for those who love collecting health benefits along with their sweets.

Fig season runs June through October (depending on the fig varietal), so there’s still some time to get your fig fix! I rounded up some of my favorite healthy fig recipes from around the blogisphere for your figging enjoyment.

Do note, this is not a paleo recipe roundup, but everything here is gluten-free (with the exception of one French toast recipe, which you can 200% make gluten-free as easy as 1-2-3). Some of these recipes contain a small amount of sugar or dairy, which can easily be replaced using your favorite unrefined sugar replacement (such as pure maple syrup, coconut sugar or powdered honey, etc), or your dairy-free ingredient of choice. The recipes that are paleo-friendly are designated as such. Get creative this fig season! Here are some of the most mouth-watering fresh fig recipes I’ve come across, which you must make this season before figs bid us all farewell. I hope you enjoy!
