Why I Love This Recipe
Join me and say so long to thaw time for expensive, frozen store bought allergy friendly donuts!! These fresh baked strawberry donuts are deliciously simple to make and perfect for spring and summer mornings!
Gluten Free Strawberry donuts are a cinch to make! Since this recipe uses no yeast, it comes together and is ready to bake in only 10 minutes. The 3-ingredient, made from scratch glaze comes together in under 5 minutes and emphasizes the strawberry goodness in this recipe. Plus, coated in a light pink glaze with bits of fresh, bright red strawberries, they are a visual stunner!
These allergy friendly, easy to make donuts are not only a special breakfast treat, but are also perfect for Mother's Day, Easter brunch, baby showers, and bridal showers! Furthermore, both my sons often choose these donuts for their after dinner dessert!
Cooking Tips
Gluten Free Strawberry Donuts are best eaten the day they are made. They will absorb the glaze after the first day but will still be delicious.
There is no need to store these donuts in an airtight container. They are so moist they can be stored in a single layer on a wire rack or platter in open air. The longer they sit out, the more moisture they release. On day two they take on the consistency of store bought glazed donuts, very soft and extra moist. My husband and oldest son actually prefer day two of these donuts.
If you don’t have arrowroot flour on hand you can replace with potato, tapioca, or corn starch.
These are the donut pans I use. I found them on Amazon but have also seen them in the home goods section of different grocery stores.

📖 Recipe
Gluten Free Strawberry Donuts With Glaze {Dairy Free}
Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 2 Medium mixing bowls
- 1 Whisk
- silicone spatula
- 4 6 cavity donut pans
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- ½ cup arrowroot flour
- 1 cup maple sugar or your preferred sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoon light olive oil
- ¾ cup dairy free milk I use sweetened almond milk
- 1½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- ⅔ cup fresh strawberries very small diced
Glaze
- 1½ cup organic powdered sugar
- 3 large strawberries crushed, about 3-4 tbsp
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Oil donut pans with extra neutral oil (I used avocado oil spray*).
- In a medium bowl use a whisk to combine dry ingredients: almond flour, brown rice flour, arrowroot flour, maple sugar, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt.
- In a large bowl use a whisk to combine wet ingredients: eggs, light olive oil, dairy free milk, lemon juice, and pure vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredient bowl. Use whisk to combine fully until smooth. Use a spatula to gently fold in diced strawberries.
- Add batter to large piping bag or use a large spoon to fill donut pans a little over ½ full.
- Place in preheated oven and bake 15 minutes until toothpick inserted in donut comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in pans until cool enough to touch about 10 minutes. Carefully remove donuts from pans** and place on cooling racks until completely cool about 10 more minutes.
- While donuts cool, make the glaze. In a medium bowl mix powdered sugar, crushed strawberries and pure vanilla. It should be thick and will thickly pour off a spoon.***
- Place a sheet of parchment paper under a wire rack (to catch icing drips). Dunk the tops of donuts one at time in the glaze. Allow excess glaze to drip off and place on a wire rack. Enjoy immediately or allow glaze to firm which takes about 10 minutes.
