These Healthy Baked Donuts are gluten-free, dairy-free, super simple to make, and sure to satisfy any sweet tooth craving!
I know donuts might SEEM difficult to make, but I promise these come together so quickly and it’s actually really fun to pipe the batter into the donut molds and then dip the donuts into melted chocolate 
TBH (don’t hate me for this), but I am not a huuuuuge donut gal. I just feel like they aren’t satisfying to me! They’re too airy and not substantial enough 
With that being said, these donuts I absolutely LOVE. They are a little bit more dense and fluffy than regular donuts and have a almost cake-y consistency. The cake-like texture along with the chocolate and sprinkles is unbeatable!
Tips for making these donuts:
- Each gluten-free flour is slightly different. I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 flour so that is the one I recommend for this recipe.
- I use silicone donut molds I bought on Amazon. I love using these silicone molds because the donuts come out super easily and nothing sticks!
- I used coconut sugar because it is an unrefined sweetener but you can totally sub regular sugar.
- I chose to use avocado oil this time but you can also use melted coconut oil or any other oil of choice.
Here’s what you need:
Gluten-free 1:1 flour
Coconut sugar
Milk of choice: I used almond milk
Avocado oil
1 egg
Vanilla extract
Baking soda
Sea salt
Chocolate chips and sprinkles for the topping
Hope you guys love them!

I count my macros. What’s calories, fat, carb (etc..) count for each donut?
I would also like to know! Thanks!
I’m sorry— I typically avoid counting calories/macros but it should be pretty quick to plug into a nutrition calculator!
Hi! Can i substitute the avocado oil for butter? If so,equal parts?
Hi! Yes, you can! Just use equal parts melted butter
Hi! The recipe says baking soda but the directions say baking powder. Which one do I use?
Hi! Sorry for the confusion, I use baking soda but either should work
I’ve made these 2x now and they don’t come out cake like? Donut like? It’s more like I have too much oil. It’s a bit separated? But I’ve followed the recipe exact!
Hi! Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! What kind/brand of flour did you use?
Had to come and leave a review, these are DELICIOUS!!!! I eat them for an end of the day treat every day. So simple and tasty!
Awww thank you so much for reviewing! I am so glad you love them!
Have you used this same recipe for donut holes? My kid loves glased donut holes, so was wondering if I could use this recipe for that.
I haven’t tried this recipe as donut holes yet! I’m sorry.. let me know if you give it a try though!
Hi i was wondering does oat flour work
Hi! I haven’t tried oat flour in this recipe yet— I’m sorry! Let me know how it goes if you decide to give it a try
HI Calla, I was just wondering what Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour you use? The red or blue bag? I would be using the blue bag. Thanks, Selina
Hi! I use the blue bag so that’s perfect
hope you love the recipe— Let me know how it goes! x
Hello, I was wondering if you could use regular flour or does it have to be gluten free
Hi! Regular flour should work too
This recipe sounds so good! But can I use almond flour instead? I made your recipe for Avocado fudge pops and the zucchini brownies and both were delicious! Thank you for all your recipes
Aw I am so glad to hear you are enjoying the recipe
I have not tried this recipe with almond flour yet — I’m sorry! Let me know how it goes if you give it a try
