Gluten-free Donuts

 A little back story about me: I have a food allergy list long like the Amazon River! Therefore, I'm being extremely cautious when I'm cooking or baking, otherwise, my body reminds me of the "off-limit" ingredients and sends me to bed with a 5 days long migraine. 


Gluten is part of the list ( I'm not celiacs, I'm gluten intolerant). 

My family has no known issues ( lucky them !!) which makes it complicated to please everybody when cooking or baking.

I have decided to bake them some chocolate cakes every once in a while, and for me, I gave a try to the gluten-free donuts. 


Ingredients : 


  • 2 cups of flour ( I use 1 cup of almond flour, 1 cup of rice flour) 
  • 1/2 cup of sugar ( or any substitute you may use if following a low car / Keto diet), adjust to your personal taste, I personally am not very keen on oversweet pastries/desserts.
  • 2 tablespoons of gluten-free baking powder 
  • 3/4 cup of milk ( I use almond milk as ..... yes you bet it right: I'm cow milk intolerant as well !! )
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • a pinch of salt
  • vanilla, coconut, strawberry or any flavour you may like, extract ( about a teaspoon)
  • 1/4cup of oil ( or coconut oil).

Mix together all the dry ingredients. When all combined, add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir until fully combined.

Spray your baking pan with oil and bake at 415˚ Fahrenheit for 7 to 9 minutes ( the toothpick test is the way to go to make sure they are ready, I usually do it at 7 minutes).

Here is the baking powder I use, it has never triggered any issue for me.





I glazed the donuts after they cooled down, to make the glaze, I used 1/2 cup of icing sugar, 1 tablespoon of almond milk and some caramel-pecan sirop ( a drop or two).


If you make them, please let me know how they tasted. I can't wait to read your feedback on those easy to make donuts.

  1. There are some new studies that talk about allergies ALL being a result of having a poor gut biome and either SIBO, SIFO or both. I had to take a lot of antibiotics due to dental issues which, of course, wipes out a healthy gut biome. So I have been reading and doing lots of things to try to repair that--making many different types of fermented foods for their probiotic benefits. There is a new book out by Dr. Davis, a leader in the field of gut microbiome health. It's called Super Gut. I just got my copy.
