Gluten Free Baked Banana Doughnuts
I love doughnuts more than I care to admit. I first discovered this when I visited Japan. I was introduced to the iconic Mr.Donut shop and fell in love. I don’t think I lived before I had one of their doughnuts. They are made fresh, indescribably tasty, and have many unique flavours. I went to Mr.Donut many times and even got a Mr.Donut club membership card while I was there! I considered bringing a box of doughnuts home with me but my suitcase got too full.
Obviously, I was ecstatic when I won a doughnut pan giveaway from See Jac Run. I have been wishing for a doughnut pan for ages! Thanks Jackie!

I decided to bake some special gluten free doughnuts for my mom as a late Mother’s Day treat. My mom used to make Slovak fried doughnuts when I was a kid but not since her gluten intolerance developed. Homemade doughnuts are absolutely delicious if you’ve never had them you should.

These doughnuts are incredible. They have a great chewy texture like a yeast doughnut but a bit denser than a cake doughnut. I love them, you would never guess that they are both gluten free and vegan.

Spoon mixture into doughnut pan
Bake for 15-20 minutes until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean and the tops are slightly browned (*Note I had to bake mine for almost 30 minutes but I think it might have been because of my oven)
Pop doughnuts out of pan. Dip in melted coconut oil and then toss with cinnamon sugar.

If you don’t have a doughnut pan you could use a muffin pan. I made mini muffins baked for about 10 minutes with some leftover batter and they turned out great.

Baking donuts is such a good idea! I've never made them before because I don't want to get my kitchen all dirty by frying anything. I am dying to make these!

Thanks for supporting the gluten free family.

These look fantastic! I so miss donuts since going gluten free. Would it possible to substitute almond milk for the soy? I try to avoid soy as it interferes with my thyroid meds.
Kat @ Cupcake Kat
@Little Bear, You can substitute with any milk you wish. I'm sure almond milk will work just fine. I hope you enojy them!
Little Bear
Thank you! I look forward to trying these out!

Does it matter what kind of rice flour? Sweet, white, or brown?
Kat @ Cupcake Kat
@Renee I used white rice flour. Sweet or brown would work but it may not yield the exact same results

Hi,
Thanks for this recipe!! I tryed it and really enjoyed them!! The texture is great, not gummy:-) even after refrigerating & microwaving. I used mini muffin pans because I don't have a donut pan, but now I have a reason to buy one!!
