Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks

Gluten free mozzarella sticks are the best, easiest way to cook up a classic snack that won’t aggravate a gluten sensitivity. Perfectly crispy outside, perfectly melty inside.

What Makes These Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks So Good

  • They’re every bit as delicious as traditional mozzarella sticks, but totally gluten free!
  • Looking for a make-ahead option? These are perfect! Make them as instructed, including freezing them for 2 hours. After 2 hours, take them off the baking sheet and toss them in a sealable freezer bag or another airtight container, then freeze them up to 3 months. When you’re feeling hungry for some hot, cheesy, gluten free goodness, just grab a few from your cheese stick stockpile and fry them up!
  • Any leftover mozzarella sticks will keep in the refrigerator up to three days if they’re stored in an airtight container. I recommend reheating them in the oven or the air fryer rather than the microwave – that way your breading stays crisp!
Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks

Key Ingredients for Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks

Mozzarella – Mozzarella string cheese is the absolute easiest base for gluten free cheese sticks! If you don’t mind a little extra work, you can buy a block of mozzarella and cut it into thick strips. Make sure they’re the same size, though, or they may not cook evenly.

Gluten-Free Flour – The light base coat of flour creates a textured surface for the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture to cling to, so don’t skip this step!

Gluten-Free Panko Breadcrumbs – Panko breadcrumbs are crucial for crispy, classic mozzarella sticks. Panko comes out much lighter than a full-flour breading.

Chef’s Tips

  • If the breadcrumb mixture in the bowl gets too wet from the egg wash, it’ll clump together and won’t stick to the mozzarella sticks well. Try to coat the string cheese as lightly as possible in the egg wash. You might also try starting out with only half the egg wash and half the breadcrumb mixture, then use a little of the remaining mixtures to refresh your dips after every few mozzarella sticks.
  • It’s important that your oil is the right temperature before you drop in any gluten free mozzarella sticks. Too cool, your food will just soak up the oil. Too hot, the breading will crisp up fast but the cheese won’t melt. 350° Fahrenheit is a good rule of thumb for the oil, but you can also try the flour trick! Sprinkle a little of your gluten-free flour on top of the oil, and if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
  • If the cheese oozes out of your mozzarella sticks during frying, that means they’re being overcooked. Lower the temperature on your stove a little so the oil cools slightly, then try again.
  • Dipping the mozzarella sticks in the egg wash and breadcrumb coating twice is super important, so don’t skip this part. If you only do it once, there won’t be enough breading to contain the melted cheese when you’re frying, and you’ll just end up with a mess.

What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”

Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.

Our recipes are not necessarily low fat or low calorie, and we aren’t afraid of fat or carbs! Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets. All our recipes are easy and family friendly!

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time5 mins
Freeze Time2 hrs
Total Time2 hrs 15 mins
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American, Italian
Keyword: easy snack, fried food, kid friendly
Servings: 12 mozzarella sticks
Calories: 181kcal

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • 3 medium bowls
  • Freezer
  • Tall pot or Dutch oven
  • Deep fry thermometer

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 cups gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • oil for frying
  • chopped parsley optional, for garnish
  • marinara sauce optional, for serving

Instructions

  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place flour in one bowl.
  • In second bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined.
  • In third bowl, thoroughly combine bread crumbs, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder, basil, and oregano.
  • Take one mozzarella stick. Dip in flour and roll until lightly coated. Don't forget to coat ends of cheese stick in all steps.

  • After two hours, heat enough oil for frying (approximately 2 inches deep) in tall pot. When oil reaches 350° Fahrenheit, add 2 to 3 mozzarella sticks.
  • Fry approximately 2 minutes, until breading is golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked mozzarella sticks to paper towel to drain oil. Repeat process for remaining mozzarella sticks.
  • Garnish finished mozzarella sticks with parsley (optional) and serve with marinara (optional).

Notes

  • Oil: Any oil with a high smoke point will work.
  • Timing: Fry times can vary depending on how long your cheese sticks are in the freezer. You may need to add an additional minute or two in the oil if your mozzarella sticks have been frozen for a while.
  • Temperature: The oil will cool slightly with each batch of mozzarella sticks. I recommend leaving your deep fry thermometer in the oil throughout the process or at least rechecking the oil after each batch. You may need to wait for it to come back up to temperature.
 
Recipe yields 12 gluten free mozzarella sticks. Nutritional values shown reflect information for one fried mozzarella stick. This is a rough estimate as it doesn’t account for the amount of fry oil absorbed by the mozzarella sticks. Macros may vary slightly depending on specific brands of ingredients used.

Gluten Free Mug Cake

Chocolatey gluten free mug cake is so easy to throw together when you’re craving something sweet. This recipe takes a few basic ingredients and turns them into delicious, moist cake. Easy to make dairy-free!

What Makes This Gluten Free Mug Cake So Good

  • Remember Easy Bake Ovens? This is kind of like a grown-up version of that… only way better. In less than 5 minutes you’ll go from ingredients to gluten free chocolate cake, with minimal effort.
  • The single-serve portion size is so convenient for anyone living alone or just watching what they eat. You won’t be tempted to eat 2 or 3 cupcakes or a slice of cake as big as your head since you’re only making one mini-cake at a time.
  • This recipe is egg-free, which means it won’t have a rubbery texture when you microwave the batter. Instead it’ll be moist and light and melt-in-your-mouth good!

Gluten Free Mug Cake Ingredients

Gluten Free Flour – Your results will vary depending on the brand of flour you use. If your attempts at mug cake are a bust, you may need to try a different brand or type of gluten free flour. We used King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour for our mug cake, so we can vouch for it working correctly.

Gluten Free Mug Cake

Chef’s Tips

  • The cake will rise and expand as it “bakes” in the microwave. If your mug is on the small side, put a paper towel or a dish underneath it in the microwave, to catch any overflow.
  • You can make this mug cake in the oven if you prefer not to use a microwave, just be sure to use an oven-safe mug. Place the mug on a baking sheet, then bake 15-20 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit.
  • To cut down on clean-up, you can mix all of the ingredients directly in the coffee mug. I think it’s a little easier to mix them in a bowl and pour them into the mug, but do what works for you!
  • This recipe makes one single-serve mug cake. For larger quantities of cake, try this recipe for the Best Chocolate Paleo Cupcakes Ever (Gluten Free) from our sister site, 40 Aprons!

Equipment

  • Whisk

  • Medium bowl
  • Microwave-safe mug

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola, vegetable, avocado, coconut, etc.)
  • ¼ cup milk plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ level cup all-purpose gluten free flour see Notes
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips for topping

Notes

  • We used King Arthur’s Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour which includes xanthan gum. If your all-purpose gluten free flour doesn’t include xanthan gum, be sure to add some in separately. For a recipe this small, you should only need a dash.
  • Our mug cake was ready after one minute in the microwave, but every microwave is different. You may need to heat your cake batter longer, but don’t go too long or your cake will be super dry. Check the doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center of the cake – if it comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs) then you’re good to go!
  • Make it Dairy Free: use almond milk or coconut milk, and vegan chocolate chips.

  • Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Mixing: If you don’t have a blender, use a hand-mixer or mix by hand.
  • Topping ideas: Peanut butter maple syrup and chocolate chips, regular maple syrup and butter, honey, bananas, or whipped topping.
  • Do not overheat pan: Will burn the pancakes. If your pan tends to get too hot, you can cool it by rinsing with water between pancakes and wipe clean with a paper towel.
