Instructions To Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Donuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray your donut pan with no stick spray, set aside. I prefer silicone donut molds for easier removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together your almond flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together your melted butter, vanilla extract, almond milk, and eggs. Add to your almond flour mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Fill each donut cavity 3/4 full with your donut batter and bake for 20-22 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes in donut pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, make your topping my mixing all of your ingredients together until smooth. Dip the top of your donuts into your mixture and set aside.
  6. Make your glaze by combining all of your ingredients and mixing until nice and smooth, add more almond milk if you would like it to be more liquid. You can either use a spoon to get your glaze on or pipe it on to your donuts – the choice is yours! Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Cinnamon Donuts

What kind of a donut pan is best?

I prefer to use a silicone donut pan for gluten free donuts, they are much easier to remove from the pan without breaking. I also find with this recipe that they bake more evenly which is also a huge bonus!

Do you glaze donuts hot or cold?

I do recommend for this recipe waiting until they have completely cooled. If you can’t wait until they are completely cool because you MUST get this donut in your mouth, I feel you, because same. If that is the case just wait until they are at least mostly cooled down, cool enough to comfortably touch.

Are donuts usually fried or baked?

Both! You can fry or bake a donut. This recipe is for a baked donut, which I prefer. Baked donuts tend to be much healthier.
