Easter is right around the corner, and we know lots of you are busy prepping for your parties and celebrations for the kids. Here at Lazy Day, we've got lots of tasty free-from treats that'll make the perfect addition to any little Easter basket!

As a team of free-from foodies, we know that holidays like Easter can bring a host of challenges for those with food intolerances. 

The physical and virtual shelves are stacked with plenty of treats for those who can eat anything, but the options can seem pretty limited for those following free-from diets. At least, that's before we come along!

Whether you're planning a fun Easter hunt and need some tasty treats to hide or just want to make sure your little ones don't feel left out at the family gathering, we've got you covered. 

Our range of vegan and gluten-free Easter treats includes a truly tasty selection of chocolatey and biscuity goodness that the kids (and adults!) will love.

Take a peek at our top picks below for a delicious and inclusive Easter celebration!

Little Gluten-Free Easter Treats – Ideal for Scavenger Hunts

It's not officially Easter until the treats are hidden and the kids are running around trying to find them. But for those with food intolerances, finding suitable treats can be a challenge.

We've picked out some of our customer-favourite free-from treats that work really well for Easter hunts – not to mention they taste fantastic, too!

Chocolate Cake Bars

Anything chocolate-related is a must for Easter, which is what makes our Chocolate Cake Bars a perfect choice. 

These free-from Cake Bars are baked with a gorgeously rich chocolate sponge, topped with our signature chocolate ganache, and encased in a hard shell of Belgian dark chocolate.

Each mini cake is also individually wrapped, making them very convenient for an Easter hunt. Plus, they are free from gluten and dairy, and don’t contain nuts, so everyone can enjoy them without worry.

Mini Vegan Caterpillar Cakes

Who can resist a cute and delicious caterpillar cake? Our Mini Vic the Vegan Caterpillar Cakes are a huge hit with children and adults alike! 

These adorable cakes are made with our classic free-from chocolate sponge and ganache and adorned with a dairy-free white chocolate face and colourful sugar sprinkles.

Not only are they irresistibly cute, but they’re also free of gluten, milk and egg, so you can indulge without worry. And at just the right size for individual portions, these mini caterpillar cakes are perfect for parties or as a fun addition to your Easter table setting.

Salted Caramel Crispies

Every kid loves a good rice crispy cake, but our Salted Caramel Crispies take them to a whole new level. With a sticky rice crispy base and crisp Belgian dark chocolate topping, they put a seriously sweet twist on this classic treat.

Just like the rest of our easter treats, these slices are free from gluten, dairy, and eggs and made on a nut-free site.

Rocky Road Slices

We think rocky road is a classic at Easter time, and our Rocky Road Slices are the perfect free-from alternative! 

Just like a classic recipe, our slices are filled with soft marshmallows, crunchy shortbread pieces, and a whole lot of chocolate, but without any gluten, dairy, eggs, or nuts.

Gluten-Free Biscuits for Easter

Biscuits are a must-have for any Easter celebration. We have a scrummy selection of gluten-free biscuits, including shortbread and oaties, that are all made without gluten and make a delicious addition to any spread.

Our top picks for Easter include:

  • Vegan Chocolate Chip Shortbread – crisp shortbread cookies filled with Belgian dark chocolate chips. These are sure to be a hit with everyone, not just those following a vegan or gluten-free diet.

  • Chocolate Chip Oaties – chewy, oaty cookies packed with chunks of dairy-free chocolate. They're incredibly wholesome and tasty, making them a perfect treat to have on hand during the Easter festivities.

  • Vegan Scottish Shortbread – sometimes, the simpler things are the most satisfying. These traditional shortbread cookies are made with free-from ingredients, still with that melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

  • Golden Syrup Oaties – we know that kids love the sweetness of golden syrup, which is why these cookies will be a big hit with them. Made with gluten-free oats and golden syrup, these cookies are truly delicious.

All of our gluten-free biscuits come in handy sharing boxes with 8 biscuits inside, which you can order directly from our online shop with the rest of your Easter goodies.

Dessert, Anyone? Free-From & Vegan Easter Cakes

After a hearty Easter lunch, there's nothing better than tucking into even more chocolate, and a cake is the perfect way to do just that.

Here at Lazy Day, we love any excuse to enjoy a big ol' slice of cake – especially when it's free-from and vegan! 

If you're looking for the perfect Easter dessert, we've got just the thing...

Celebration Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake

Our Celebration Chocolate Cake is a fantastic centrepiece for any party and is sure to be adored by all. 

Lovingly baked with 3 layers of moreish chocolate sponge sandwiched together and topped with smooth chocolate ganache, it's a decadent treat that even those following a regular diet will love.

This cake serves up to 10 people, so there's plenty to go around.

You could even embellish it with some Easter-themed decorations, such as dairy-free mini chocolate eggs or bunnies!

Vanilla Sponge Cake

For something a little lighter or to offer up as an alternative, our Vanilla Sponge Cake is the perfect choice. The light and fluffy vanilla sponge is smothered with vanilla frosting on top and sprinkled with coloured sugar confetti – so it doesn't just taste amazing, but it looks enticing, too!

This one serves up to 12 people, making it perfect for a larger gathering or party. It's also great as an afternoon treat with a cup of tea or coffee once the Easter hunt has concluded and a much-needed break is in order.
