Using your hands, mush together until thoroughly mix and then roll into approx 16 golf-ball sized balls. (This worked out around 40g per ball, if you want to be precise!)\nAdd the butter and olive oil to a large pan and heat until the butter had melted. Place the meatballs to the pan and fry on a med-high heat, turning until the balls have browned on the outside (you may have to do this in batches).\nTransfer the browned meatballs to the baking tray and place in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes.\nFor the gravy:\nWithout washing out the pan from the meatballs, add the butter and melt on a low heat. Add the gluten free flour, then stir over a low heat for around 1 minute. \nSlowly add the beef stock, crème fraîche and water to the butter\/flour mix, whisking until it forms a smooth, thick sauce.\nBring to the boil then turn down to a low heat. Add the Worcester sauce and mustard and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.\nTo serve:\nWhen the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and add to the sauce. Stir gently to ensure they are coated. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley and serve with mashed potato and some cranberry sauce on the side.\nTo Air Fry:\nIf you prefer, you can air fry the pork meatballs instead of baking. To do this, skip the step of browning them in the pan. Add the meatballs to an air fryer basket, spray with a little oil and cook at 200C (392F) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket half-way through to turn.\nStoring: \nLeftovers can be kept in the fridge or frozen, or the meatballs can also be made ahead of time and frozen raw or precooked.\nStep-by-Step Photos: \nCheck out the blog post above for step-by-step photos of this method if you find it easier to follow a visual guide.\nLike this Recipe? \nIt would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5* rating and a little comment if you make this Swedish Meatballs recipe and love it.

Add the Worcester sauce and mustard and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.\n\n#### To serve:\n- When the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and add to the sauce. Stir gently to ensure they are coated. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley and serve with mashed potato and some cranberry sauce on the side.\n\n### Notes\n- **To Air Fry:** If you prefer, you can air fry the pork meatballs instead of baking. To do this, skip the step of browning them in the pan. Add the meatballs to an air fryer basket, spray with a little oil and cook at 200C (392F) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket half-way through to turn.\n- **Storing:** Leftovers can be kept in the fridge or frozen, or the meatballs can also be made ahead of time and frozen raw or precooked.\n- **Step-by-Step Photos:** Check out the blog post above for step-by-step photos of this method if you find it easier to follow a visual guide.\n- **Like this Recipe?** It would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5\\* rating and a little comment if you make this Swedish Meatballs recipe and love it. It really helps support my blog and get the recipe out there to more people! Thank you xx\n\n### Nutrition\nServing: 4people\n\nLike this recipe?

Using your hands, mush together until thoroughly mix and then roll into approx 16 golf-ball sized balls. (This worked out around 40g per ball, if you want to be precise!)\n- Add the butter and olive oil to a large pan and heat until the butter had melted. Place the meatballs to the pan and fry on a med-high heat, turning until the balls have browned on the outside (you may have to do this in batches).\n- Transfer the browned meatballs to the baking tray and place in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes.\n\n#### For the gravy:\n- Without washing out the pan from the meatballs, add the butter and melt on a low heat. Add the gluten free flour, then stir over a low heat for around 1 minute.\n- Slowly add the beef stock, crème fraîche and water to the butter\/flour mix, whisking until it forms a smooth, thick sauce.\n- Bring to the boil then turn down to a low heat. Add the Worcester sauce and mustard and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.\n\n#### To serve:\n- When the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and add to the sauce. Stir gently to ensure they are coated. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley and serve with mashed potato and some cranberry sauce on the side.\n\n- **To Air Fry:** If you prefer, you can air fry the pork meatballs instead of baking. To do this, skip the step of browning them in the pan. Add the meatballs to an air fryer basket, spray with a little oil and cook at 200C (392F) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket half-way through to turn.\n- **Storing:** Leftovers can be kept in the fridge or frozen, or the meatballs can also be made ahead of time and frozen raw or precooked.\n- **Step-by-Step Photos:** Check out the blog post above for step-by-step photos of this method if you find it easier to follow a visual guide.\n- **Like this Recipe?** It would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5\\* rating and a little comment if you make this Swedish Meatballs recipe and love it.

They’re also delicious with my easy [air fryer chips](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/air-fryer-chips/) or [gluten free oven chips](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/oven-chips/). - Updated for 2025: I first posted this recipe in 2019 with some very bad photos, so I’ve given it a fresh update including some new step-by-step images. ## Table of Contents - [The Best Ikea Meatballs Recipe Dupe In Town\!](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-the-best-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe-in-town) - [Don’t just take my word for it…](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-don-t-just-take-my-word-for-it) - [Ingredients and Substitutions](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-ingredients-and-substitutions) - [How to Make Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-how-to-make-gluten-free-ikea-meatballs) - [Storing and Freezing Instructions](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-storing-and-freezing-instructions) - [More Gluten Free Recipe Dupes](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-more-gluten-free-recipe-dupes) - [Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs Recipe Recipe](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#wprm-recipe-container-18477) - [More Gluten Free Dinner Ideas](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-more-gluten-free-dinner-ideas) ## Don’t just take my word for it… Lucy left ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and said: “These were absolutely incredible!!! Thank you so much! We made these for the first time tonight!! Looking forward to trying lots more of your recipes!” ## Ingredients and Substitutions There’s a printable recipe card below for these easy Swedish Pork Meatballs recipe with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps. - Pork Mince: You can use beef, chicken or turkey mince if you prefer, but pork is traditional and more authentic to the Ikea meatballs recipe. - Garlic - Gluten Free Bread: Any bread will work, to make [gluten free breadcrumbs](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-bread-crumbs/). - Egg - Spices: I use a combination of dried parsley and allspice. - Butter and Oil: For frying the meatballs. #### And for the sauce to go with the meatballs you will need: - Gluten Free Flour: A plain flour blend like FREEE or any gluten free supermarket flours is fine. You can use an all purpose gluten free flour in the US. - Beef Broth: Either pre-made or use a [gluten free stock cube](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/your-guide-gluten-free-gravy-stock-cubes/) or pot like the Knorr stock pots to make this up. - Crème Fraîche: A lot of recipes use double cream/heavy cream but I found creme fraiche makes this a lot lighter, but still just as deliciously creamy\! - Gluten Free Worcester Sauce: Usually found in the free from aisle, or you can also use Henderson’s Relish. - Dijon Mustard: This is usually gluten free but always double check. ![Ingredients for gluten free Ikea meatballs with text labels.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201869'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Ingredients for gluten free Ikea meatballs with text labels.](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-10-1440x2243.png) ## How to Make Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs There’s a printable recipe card below with the method.

Just like the classic Ikea Meatballs, but completely coeliac-safe! I've also included an air fryer method for the meatballs in the recipe notes below. Prep: 15 minutes mins Servings: 4 people [Save Recipe](https://app.grow.me/)[Saved Recipe](https://app.grow.me/) [Pin Recipe](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theglutenfreeblogger.com%2Fgluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theglutenfreeblogger.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F07%2Fgluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-12.jpg&description=Gluten+Free+Ikea+Meatballs+Recipe&is_video=false) [Rate Recipe](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#comment) [Print Recipe](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/wprm_print/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe) ### Ingredients 1x 2x 3x #### For the meatballs: - ▢ 500 g pork mince, (I found the 20% fat mince worked best) - ▢ 1 clove garlic, (crushed) - ▢ 3 slices gluten free bread - ▢ 1 egg, (beaten) - ▢ 1 tsp dried parsley - ▢ 1/4 tsp allspice - ▢ Salt and pepper, (to taste) - ▢ 20 g butter - ▢ 1 tbsp olive oil #### For the sauce: - ▢ 20 g butter - ▢ 3 tbsp plain gluten free flour - ▢ 450 ml beef broth - ▢ 180 ml crème fraîche - ▢ 100 ml water - ▢ 1 tbsp [gluten free Worcester sauce](https://amzn.to/4nDS3ig) - ▢ 1 tsp dijon mustard - ▢ Salt and pepper, (to taste) #### To serve: - ▢ Cranberry sauce - ▢ Mashed potato - ▢ Fresh parsley Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark ### Instructions #### To make the pork meatballs: - Preheat the oven to 200C / Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6 and set a baking tray aside. - Add the gluten free bread, parsley, allspice and salt and pepper to a food processor and whizz until in crumbs. - Tip the bread crumbs into a large mixing bowl along with the pork mince, crushed garlic and beaten egg. Using your hands, mush together until thoroughly mix and then roll into approx 16 golf-ball sized balls. (This worked out around 40g per ball, if you want to be precise!) - Add the butter and olive oil to a large pan and heat until the butter had melted. Place the meatballs to the pan and fry on a med-high heat, turning until the balls have browned on the outside (you may have to do this in batches). - Transfer the browned meatballs to the baking tray and place in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes. #### For the gravy: - Without washing out the pan from the meatballs, add the butter and melt on a low heat. Add the gluten free flour, then stir over a low heat for around 1 minute. - Slowly add the beef stock, crème fraîche and water to the butter/flour mix, whisking until it forms a smooth, thick sauce. - Bring to the boil then turn down to a low heat. Add the Worcester sauce and mustard and season generously with salt and pepper to taste. #### To serve: - When the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and add to the sauce. Stir gently to ensure they are coated. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley and serve with mashed potato and some cranberry sauce on the side. ### Notes - To Air Fry: If you prefer, you can air fry the pork meatballs instead of baking. To do this, skip the step of browning them in the pan. Add the meatballs to an air fryer basket, spray with a little oil and cook at 200C (392F) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket half-way through to turn. - Storing: Leftovers can be kept in the fridge or frozen, or the meatballs can also be made ahead of time and frozen raw or precooked. - Step-by-Step Photos: Check out the blog post above for step-by-step photos of this method if you find it easier to follow a visual guide. - Like this Recipe? It would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5\* rating and a little comment if you make this Swedish Meatballs recipe and love it. It really helps support my blog and get the recipe out there to more people! Thank you xx ### Nutrition Serving: 4people Like this recipe?

This Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs recipe is the perfect gluten free dupe of the Ikea classic dish! Easy Swedish Meatballs in a rich, creamy gravy, served with mashed potato. No need to worry about Ikea meatballs not being gluten free when you can make your own at home\! ![A plate of gluten free Ikea meatballs with peas, mashed potato and cranberry sauce.](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-8-1440x2160.jpg) ## The Best Ikea Meatballs Recipe Dupe In Town\! ![Close up of gluten free Ikea meatballs cut in half with mash and cranberry sauce.](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-9-1440x2160.jpg) - Why choose this recipe? Wish you could have a plate of Swedish Meatballs, but can’t eat gluten? Now you can recreate this classic Ikea dish at home, without having to traipse through an endless maze of flatpack furniture. What a winner\! - Are Ikea Meatballs Gluten Free? Sadly Ikea’s pork meatballs are not gluten free, but if you want to cut corners the pre-made Smörgåsbord the Original Swedish Meatballs in Sainsbury’s are gluten free\! - Serving Suggestion: For the authentic Ikea experience, serve the pork meatballs with mashed potatoes, peas and lingonberry sauce – though I use cranberry sauce! They’re also delicious with my easy [air fryer chips](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/air-fryer-chips/) or [gluten free oven chips](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/oven-chips/). - Updated for 2025: I first posted this recipe in 2019 with some very bad photos, so I’ve given it a fresh update including some new step-by-step images. ## Table of Contents - [The Best Ikea Meatballs Recipe Dupe In Town\!](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-the-best-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe-in-town) - [Don’t just take my word for it…](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-don-t-just-take-my-word-for-it) - [Ingredients and Substitutions](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-ingredients-and-substitutions) - [How to Make Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-how-to-make-gluten-free-ikea-meatballs) - [Storing and Freezing Instructions](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-storing-and-freezing-instructions) - [More Gluten Free Recipe Dupes](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-more-gluten-free-recipe-dupes) - [Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs Recipe Recipe](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#wprm-recipe-container-18477) - [More Gluten Free Dinner Ideas](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-dupe/#h-more-gluten-free-dinner-ideas) ## Don’t just take my word for it… Lucy left ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and said: “These were absolutely incredible!!! Thank you so much! We made these for the first time tonight!! Looking forward to trying lots more of your recipes!” ## Ingredients and Substitutions There’s a printable recipe card below for these easy Swedish Pork Meatballs recipe with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps. - Pork Mince: You can use beef, chicken or turkey mince if you prefer, but pork is traditional and more authentic to the Ikea meatballs recipe. - Garlic - Gluten Free Bread: Any bread will work, to make [gluten free breadcrumbs](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-bread-crumbs/). - Egg - Spices: I use a combination of dried parsley and allspice. - Butter and Oil: For frying the meatballs. #### And for the sauce to go with the meatballs you will need: - Gluten Free Flour: A plain flour blend like FREEE or any gluten free supermarket flours is fine. You can use an all purpose gluten free flour in the US. - Beef Broth: Either pre-made or use a [gluten free stock cube](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/your-guide-gluten-free-gravy-stock-cubes/) or pot like the Knorr stock pots to make this up. - Crème Fraîche: A lot of recipes use double cream/heavy cream but I found creme fraiche makes this a lot lighter, but still just as deliciously creamy\! - Gluten Free Worcester Sauce: Usually found in the free from aisle, or you can also use Henderson’s Relish. - Dijon Mustard: This is usually gluten free but always double check. ![Ingredients for gluten free Ikea meatballs with text labels.](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-10-1440x2243.png) ## How to Make Gluten Free Ikea Meatballs There’s a printable recipe card below with the method. But here are some step-by-step photos to show you how easy these Ikea Meatballs are to make. ## Storing and Freezing Instructions TO MAKE AHEAD: You can easily make the meatballs ahead of time and then store them (raw or pre-cooked) in the fridge. Or freeze them to use in the future. TO STORE: Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for a couple of days, and can be reheated thoroughly before eating. TO FREEZE: You can also freeze any leftovers to reheat for a quick and easy meal. ![Close up of a pan of Ikea meatballs in homemade gravy.](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/gluten-free-ikea-meatballs-recipe-7-1440x2160.jpg) ## More Gluten Free Recipe Dupes If you like this gluten free Ikea meatballs recipe then make sure you check out these other gluten free recipe dupes too… - [Gluten Free Gregg’s Steak Bake](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-greggs/) - [Gluten Free Malt Loaf](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-malt-loaf/) (Soreen supe) - [Gluten Free Mini Rolls](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-mini-rolls/) (Cadbury’s dupe) - [Gluten Free Rice Krispies Treats](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/rice-krispies-treats/) dupe - [White Chocolate and Gingerbread Cookies](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gingerbread-and-white-chocolate-cookies/) (M\&S dupe) - [Gluten Free Twiglets](https://www.theglutenfreeblogger.com/gluten-free-twiglets/) ### Have you tried this recipe?

Using your hands, mush together until thoroughly mix and then roll into approx 16 golf-ball sized balls. (This worked out around 40g per ball, if you want to be precise!) - Add the butter and olive oil to a large pan and heat until the butter had melted. Place the meatballs to the pan and fry on a med-high heat, turning until the balls have browned on the outside (you may have to do this in batches). - Transfer the browned meatballs to the baking tray and place in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes. #### For the gravy: - Without washing out the pan from the meatballs, add the butter and melt on a low heat. Add the gluten free flour, then stir over a low heat for around 1 minute. - Slowly add the beef stock, crème fraîche and water to the butter/flour mix, whisking until it forms a smooth, thick sauce. - Bring to the boil then turn down to a low heat. Add the Worcester sauce and mustard and season generously with salt and pepper to taste. #### To serve: - When the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and add to the sauce. Stir gently to ensure they are coated. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley and serve with mashed potato and some cranberry sauce on the side. - To Air Fry: If you prefer, you can air fry the pork meatballs instead of baking. To do this, skip the step of browning them in the pan. Add the meatballs to an air fryer basket, spray with a little oil and cook at 200C (392F) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket half-way through to turn. - Storing: Leftovers can be kept in the fridge or frozen, or the meatballs can also be made ahead of time and frozen raw or precooked. - Step-by-Step Photos: Check out the blog post above for step-by-step photos of this method if you find it easier to follow a visual guide. - Like this Recipe? It would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5\* rating and a little comment if you make this Swedish Meatballs recipe and love it.
