25 Decadent Flourless Dessert Recipes

Just because it’s flourless doesn’t mean it’s not decadent. Along with butter and sugar, flour may be one of the staple ingredients that come to mind when you think of baking, but ever-resourceful Southern cooks have spent years devising creative dessert recipes that don’t call for any flour at all. Forgoing the flour in baked goods results in cookies, cakes, and brownies that are extra fudgy and indulgent. Better yet, some of these recipes don't require any baking at all, making them perfect for hot Southern summers. If you’re running low on flour but still want to whip up something sweet, have no fear. We’ve collected 25 of our favorite flourless dessert recipes that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
