Gluten-Free Birthday Cake Donuts (Cake, Cake, Cake)

“Hey Alexa, play ‘Birthday Cake’ by Rihanna…” My primary baking goal for the early part of 2021 is to master gluten-free donuts. Healthy baking is my favorite category of recipe posts to whip up, so it’s really easy for me to spend hours in the kitchen baking these goodies. 9 times out of 10 I would prefer to bake than to cook – is that just me!? Anywho… Today I’m coming at ya with my delicious gluten-free birthday cake donuts! (Also dairy-free)

Directions

1. Preheat to 400 F.
2. Grease a donut pan (I used coconut oil spray). Add dry ingredients (gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt) to a plate/small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (sugar/honey, eggs, vanilla, nutpods, almond milk). Fold in sprinkles.
3. Pour the mixture evenly into each section of your donut pan.
4. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until a toothpick (or reusable baking tester) comes out clean.
5. Allow the donuts to cool for 5 minutes in the pan then pop them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
6. Mix the glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, vanilla, nutpods) together until smooth in a small bowl. Pour glaze evenly onto cooled donuts. Top with sprinkles if desired!
