Gluten Free Strawberry Donuts With Glaze {Dairy Free}
These moist, tender baked donuts are loaded with fresh, sweet strawberries and coated in a homemade strawberry glaze.
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.
Notes
*This is the avocado oil spray that I normally use.
**I use a re-useable plastic kids fork to help loosen the donuts from the pan for easy removal. This plastic fork is similar to the one I use, it doesn't scratch the surface of the pan.
**Strawberry sizes vary. If your glaze is obviously too thick you can either add another mashed strawberry ½ berry at a time or add dairy free milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency.
