Gluten and dairy free baked cinnamon sugar doughnuts – probably one of my all time favourite recipes that I’ve created, which have also featured in Gluten Free Heaven magazine!
They are super easy to make and take a matter of minutes. My favourite flavour to make is the classic cinnamon sugar, but they can also be made in so many other flavours – iced with sprinkles, original glazed, chocolate, jam, custard, mini doughnuts and more! These doughnuts are both gluten and dairy free. They do contain eggs but using a flax egg makes a great vegan alternative. For the doughnuts I use a Wilton doughnuts tray which you can click here to purchase. Alternatively, this recipe also works well in a muffin or cupcake tin.
I absolutely love seeing what you have created so if you do make these doughnuts don’t forget to tag me in your photos over on social media!

We're like a bunch of Pavlov's dogs right now. These look sooooo good!
What brand of flour do you use that's self rising?
I normally just pick up the supermarkets own gluten Free self raising flour but any works. Also use the doves farm one x
Hi, have you tried cows milk instead of Almond milk and does that work?
Hi, I haven't personally tries cows milk in the recipe as I'm intolerant to milk however I Know other people have and they said it's worked well :) x
Thank you so much for this recipe. I just made them in a muffin tin and used raw sugar instead of castor sugar as that's all I had. They tasted great. I just had to cook them longer due to being in a muffin tin.
Can quick rise yeast be added to regularregular free flour to sub for the self rising flour? How much yeast? Thanks!!
Can this mixture be fried instead of baking ?
Hi! Unfortunately this mixture won't work fried - I will try and create a fried doughnut recipe one day though:) x
Hi Alice. Just made these but they did not rise much at all - any idea what I may have done wrong??
Hi - Thats strange! Normally with the self raising flour and the baking powder they do rise to the perfect size. It might be worth adding a little bit extra baking powder next time :)
Thanks,
Alice
This recipe is INSANE! I have made these so many times and they are always perfect - thank you!! Appreciate its a lot of work but i wonder if you have any plans to add nutritional information? i'm after the calories in particular!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them :). Sadly it's not something I plan to do at the moment. Maybe in the future it's something I will have time to add. x
Another yummy recipe! Thank you :) These were so soft and fluffy, almost reminded me of the fairground type doghnuts especially when eaten whilst warm! The only alteration I made was using coconut sugar as trying to avoid the usual refined sugars at the moment. It gave them a lovely caramelised taste. Already plan to make another batch tomorrow for friends! Thanks Alice, keep up the good work! xx
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed them :)x
