Welcome to...
Wheat by the Wayside!
Hi, I'm Katie, a home baker, food photographer, and the creator of Wheat by the Wayside. Here, gluten-free baking feels familiar, fun, and full of comfort.
If you're craving gluten-free recipes that are just as good (if not better) than what you remember, you're in the right place!
What You'll Find Here
Here on WBTW my focus is on gluten-free recipes that are:
- Full of comfort: Think cozy dinners, weekend breakfasts, soups, desserts, and breads.
- Practical and approachable: I mostly use store-bought gluten-free flour blends.
- Often small batch: I tend to keep my recipes small(er)-batch. Gluten-free flours are pricey, and no one wants to throw out stale cookies.
- Actually tested: I develop all the recipes on the website in my own kitchen with real ingredients. (There's no AI generated stuff here!) I test each recipe multiple times, until I'm fully confident that it will work in your kitchen, too!

Why I Bake Gluten-Free
After years of unexplained gut issues, I finally got the answers I needed. That's when Celiac Disease changed my life... and my kitchen. I had to relearn everything I knew about baking, something I've loved since childhood.
I feel strongly that gluten-free food shouldn't feel like a compromise and have made it my mission to share recipes that bring the joy back to baking.

FAQs About Wheat by the Wayside
How did you come up with the name Wheat by the Wayside?
The name Wheat by the Wayside came to me during a brainstorming session. I chose it because I found it to be a clever play on words. As someone with Celiac disease, I knew that wheat flour would no longer be a part of my life, so the concept of wheat falling by the wayside resonated with me.
Are your recipes wheat free or gluten-free?
As mentioned above, this site focuses on gluten-free baked goods and comfort food recipes. All recipes are gluten-free. Most are wheat free, with the exception of some of the yeast breads that use a special flour that contains gluten-free wheat starch.
What does WBTW mean?
Wheat by the Wayside can be kind of a mouthful. Sometimes, I refer to this site as WBTW, for short.
