How do you make gluten-free donuts?
These donuts are made with a simple swap of flour. Instead of using wheat flour, use Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour.
I typically use Better Batter; however, Cup 4 Cup and King Arthur work well too.
Gluten-free donuts are a game-changer for those of us with dietary restrictions, plus they are really easy to make with just one swap!
These are soft and cake-like as opposed to the fried alternative, better for you since it’s baked!
Why should you make Baked Donuts?
- Gluten-Free: First off, these are gluten-free meaning for many of us dietary needs will be met with these tasty donuts!
- Healthier Choice: It’s much better to bake donuts instead of frying as it decreases or eliminates any excess oil.
- Customizable: These are easy to customize, in this recipe we are using pumpkin to make Gluten-Free Baked Pumpkin Donuts; however, you can also swap the pumpkin and make Apple Cider Donuts or you can make Gluten-Free Baked Chocolate Donuts too.
What pan should you use for Gluten-Free Baked Pumpkin Donuts?
These need to be made with a Wilton Donut Pan, typically we are able to make 12 full donuts with this recipe. This will vary a bit depending on how much you fill the donut pan.
Tips for Making Gluten-Free Baked Pumpkin Donuts:
It is best to use a cake decorating bag and pipe the dough into the pan. This will give you even dough and be much easier to handle.
Simply fill up the bag and cut the end off, then pipe into the greased pan.
Time to enjoy these tasty pumpkin treats!
