50+ Gluten-Free Finds at Trader Joe’s
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix
Behold, my favorite gluten-free item at Trader Joe’s. This brownie mix is a crowd-pleaser that is easy to mix together in one bowl. I’ve made it for everything from a baby shower treat to an evening indulgence.
ABC Bars
The Almond Butter Cocoa Bars are great breakfast bars or for on-the-go situations, like running errands or hiking. They’re salty, sweet, and super affordable as a gluten-free snack.
Gluten-Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins
These muffins make a quick breakfast or scrumptious dessert any day of the week. They’re made with sour cream cake and, obviously, plenty of cinnamon.
Brown Rice Quinoa Spaghetti Pasta
Trader Joe’s has plenty of gluten-free pasta options, including this pack of rice and quinoa spaghetti.
Norwegian Crispbread
I found this snack while scouring the shelves for gluten-free items. The bread looks like it would be great dipped in hummus or on a charcuterie board. I’ll have to try it out and report back.
Blanched Almond Flour
Use this flour alternative for baking or breading items like meat, fish, or veggies you want to air fry for extra crispiness.
This Coconut Brings Chocolate On A Date Bars
Cute name, right? These date bars have only five natural ingredients and are a great mid-afternoon snack.
Organic Stone Ground Yellow Corn Taco Shells
Ideal for Taco Tuesday, these hard corn taco shells are crunchy and salty.
Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Muffins
Another favorite of mine is this four-pack of double chocolate muffins. They’re moist, rich, velvety, and have chocolate chips inside.

Looking for cookies? This baking mix is both vegan and gluten-free, so it’s great for sharing with all of your friends.

These penne noodles are both gluten-free and sodium-free for those with multiple food allergies or dietary restrictions.

PBC Bars
Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Cocoa Bars are just like they sound: salty, sweet, and a snack worth having in the pantry.
Corn Tortillas
Like TJ’s Corn Taco Shells, these tortillas are a great alternative to flour tortillas. They taste best when heated up.
Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese
Hooray, TJ’s has a gluten-free mac and cheese! These boxes are in the freezer aisle and contain GF noodles with a blend of cheeses. I bought a box myself and the serving size was just right for my lunch.
Almond Butter Puffs Cereal
These crunchy cereal puffs made from quinoa are like Resee’s Peanut Butter Crunch’s older sibling. They’re delicious and just right for a weekend morning breakfast that only takes a minute to make.
Cauliflower Crisps Snack
Crackers are a tough snack to find in gluten-free form, but these cauliflower crisps have a satisfying crunch that pairs well with hummus or cheese.
Organic White Quinoa
White quinoa can easily fluff up a salad or dinner. Try adding this ingredient to stuffed peppers or a Mediterranean salad. You can also use it as a couscous replacement.
Fancy Cheese Crunchies
Cheese puff, but make it fancy! These aren’t the cheesy poofs that you grew up with—this fancy variety has a hint of truffle!
Organic Rolled Oats With Ancient Grains and Seeds
Add fiber to your meal with this organic rolled oat blend. For a protein-packed bowl, you can also add in hemp seeds, almond butter, and fruit.
Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal
For those wanting a more traditional oatmeal experience, these instant packets combine an unsweetened blend of whole grain oats, quinoa, flax seeds, and chia seeds into a warm bowl to enjoy for breakfast. Just top with your favorite fruits or nuts!
Pecan Praline Granola
This ready-to-eat granola is made with whole grain oats, pecans, and just a dash of maple syrup. It’s perfect with yogurt, in a snack mix, or as a smoothie bowl topping. (Or, the oatmeal above, of course!)
Grainless Granola
Not everyone is a fan of oats! If that is you, then this sweet and salty combo might just be perfect. A blend of coconut, almonds, and sunflower and pumpkin seeds is an energizing snack perfect for those long afternoons.
Dark Chocolate Coffee Buzz Bars
I couldn’t leave chocolate off this list. If you’re looking for a rich dessert or a pick-me-up, grab these coffee bars by the checkout.
Gluten-Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza
This pizza has bell peppers, red onions, black onions, cheese, and a cauliflower crust. Pop it in the oven for about 15 minutes and you’ll hardly tell the difference from a “normal” pizza pie.
Super Seedy Cheese Snack Bites
There’s just something satisfying about a snack with a bit of crunch. But with cheese, too? We’re sold!
Gluten-Free Multigrain Bread
Trader Joe’s has one of the best GF bread selections. While many stores only carry gluten-free bread in the freezer section, you can find breads like this multigrain loaf on the shelves.
Sour Cream & Onion Rings
Gluten-free snacks are so good, especially these sour cream and onion lentil and rice rings. They’re a yummy balance of crunchy and tangy.
Spaghetti Squash Nests
Spaghetti Squash is a wonderful pasta alternative on its own, but these vegan nests that are dried and ready to boil take less time to prep and cook.
Organic Toasted Coconut Granola Bark
Dark chocolate? Check. Coconut? Check. A satisfying granola crunch? The perfect snack!
Organic Red Lentil Sedanini
As a gluten alternative, this lentil pasta has tons of protein and can change up your meals by adding a hearty flavor. Be sure not to overcook the noodles though!
Gluten-Free Plain Bagels
These bagels are a straightforward alternative to regular bagels. They also keep well!
Rolled Corn Chili and Lime Tortilla Chips
If you’re a fan of Takis then you’re going to love Trader Joe’s Chili & Lime Tortilla Chips. While similar, they do have a slightly more tart flavor, making them a tad less spicy. Perfect when you need to satisfy that crunchy, spicy craving!
Mochi
Mochi is a Japanese rice and ice cream dessert. Trader Joe's has these yummy and refreshing gluten-free snacks in three flavors: Green Tea, Strawberry, and Vanilla.
Gluten-Free Pizza Crusts
If you like making pizza at home so you can customize your toppings, pick up some GF pizza crusts. Based on the stock at my local store, I think these are a hot item.
Original Savory Thin Mini Crackers
These adorable round crackers are the right size for snacking or stacking on a charcuterie board.
Organic Dark Chocolate Half-Coated Rice Cakes
These thin cookies (crackers? cakes?) are a chocolatey treat when you’re in the mood for something other than a candy bar. For the ultimate treat? Put your favorite nut butter between two rice cakes for a grown-up version of your favorite peanut butter sandwich crackers from your childhood!
Truly Tortilla Chips
Many store-brand tortilla chips are made in factories that could have soy or gluten cross-contamination. These white corn chips from Trader Joe’s are gluten-free and just as delicious.
Gluten-Free White Sandwich Bread
Another GF bread at Trader Joe’s is this white sandwich bread. It’s great for sandwiches, french toast, and grilled cheese sammies.
Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups
If you have peanut or tree nut allergies, shopping can be doubly—or triply—difficult. This sweet snack is a great choice, as it’s free of many common allergens: gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts. And did we mention it’s vegan, too?
Organic Yellow Lentil & Brown Rice Spaghetti
Yet another pasta option for the gluten-free girlies is this yellow lentil and brown rice noodle. They taste like regular spaghetti without the gluten and with more protein.
Organic Tricolor Quinoa
Quinoa is a fun food—it has a unique texture, contains protein, and can replace grains in your salads, pastas, or snacks.
Veggie & Flaxseed Corn Tortilla Chips
The name of these chips tells the whole story: they’re gluten-free and tri-colored, which is great for hosting parties or dinners.
Organic Brown Rice & Quinoa Fusilli Pasta
Use this fusilli pasta for everything from pasta salad to a hearty soup. The rice and quinoa mixture makes for quick-cooking noodles.
Almond Flour Tortillas
Anyone avoiding gluten can still enjoy tortillas with these almond flour rounds. They’re great for street tacos or mini breakfast burritos.
Organic Coconut Aminos
You may not realize how many grocery products actually contain gluten. When I started to avoid it, I had to research things like “Is soy gluten-free?” Turns out, it’s not. As an alternative, try coconut aminos. They have a vinegar-like smell but a soy-sauce adjacent flavor.
Cauliflower Gnocchi
Can we all agree that no other vegetable has had a bigger glow up than cauliflower? (Okay, maybe kale.) Traditional gnocchi is often made with potatoes and flour, so these puffy pillows of cauliflower are not only a gluten-free choice, but a simple way to substitute pasta if you are looking for a lighter dish.
Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
If you have a recipe you like that isn’t gluten-free, try swapping out the flour for this all-purpose alternative instead. It can be used as a 1:1 replacement without altering the flavor much.
Artichoke Timbales
Tucked into the freezer section are these baked artichoke hearts. They’re flavorful and packed with cheese—perfect for an appetizer.
Mini Chicken Tacos
These bite-sized chicken tacos are a go-to party appetizer for guests with dietary restrictions. Not a fan of chicken? There’s a beef option, too!
