When I first went gluten-free because of my celiac disease, I thought my s’mores days were over. But they’re not!

In fact, you can indulge in quite a variety of gluten-free campfire treats, both savory and sweet. Some of our favorites are listed below, but there are many other options as well.

Sweet and Savory Gluten-Free Campfire Treats

1. Your favorite hot dogs or sausages

Roast your favorite hot dog or sausage over your campfire. I think Niman Ranch apple gouda sausages are the best, by far! We just skip the buns, but you can find gluten-free buns if you prefer to eat your hot dog or sausage with a bun.

2. Foil dinners

A campfire staple, and usually naturally gluten-free. If you’re not familiar, foil dinners usually have some sort of protein (ground beef, ground pork, shrimp, whatever you like), diced potato, veg (onions, carrots, etc), and seasoning. Wrap it all up in a couple layers of heavy duty foil and place in the coals of your campfire to cook. Yum!

3. Hamburgers

If you have a grill to place over your campfire, flame-grilled hamburgers can be a yummy dinner option. Top with cheese and all the fixings and wrap in lettuce or put it on a gluten-free bun.

4. Popcorn

Have you ever popped corn over a campfire? It’s easy! Jiffy Pop is a one-time use deal (grab one of these handle extensions so you don’t have to sit too close to the fire) or use a Whirley Pop (be sure to grab the campfire version with the long handle) to use over and over.

5. Roasted marshmallows

Another old standby, roasting marshmallows is always a family favorite. Use these color-coded expandable roasting sticks so everyone knows whose stick is whose. (tell me I’m not the only one whose kids argue about this!)

6. S’mores with gluten-free graham crackers

Pop a roasted marshmallow between two gluten-free graham crackers with some chocolate, and you’ve got a s’more. Gluten-free graham crackers don’t taste the same as their gluten-filled counterparts (what gluten-free substitute really does?), but we have two brands that are favorites. Schar gluten-free graham crackers have a good texture and aren’t super sweet. Pamela’s gluten-free graham crackers are a bit more dense and sweet, but still good. As for the chocolate, Hershey’s chocolate bars are always good, but have you tried using a Reese’s peanut butter cup instead? Super yummy!

7. Campfire baked apple

Wash and core an apple, then fill the center with a dab of butter, some raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Wrap in foil (make a tail or handle on end for easy removal from the fire) and place in the coals to bake for 5-10 minutes.

8. Campfire banana boat

Slit a banana (in the peel) length-wise and stuff some mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows in the slit. Wrap securely in foil and place in the coals to bake for 5-10 minutes.

9. Dutch oven pineapple upside down cake

We use this recipe that uses a boxed cake mix, so it’s a simple substitution to use a gluten-free boxed yellow cake mix (we’ve used this brand and this brand with good results) and leave the rest of the recipe the same. Another yummy treat, if you have the patience to wait for it to bake 🙂
