This baked donut recipe is gluten free, quick and so easy! They taste like an Almond Joy Bar, in a donut form! Basically, you need these donuts in your life.
OMGOMGOMGOMG
I have been waiting to share these this baked donut recipe with you for MY WHOLE LIFE.
Or, since I made them a couple months ago.
So, basically, my whole life. You get it.
Moving on.
These donuts are kind of like the Freezer Pops we just talked about…I have been avoiding making them due to lack-age of a donut pan.
Then one day, I was doing really important computer things (read: shopping on Ebay..<3) and I saw a donut pan come up in one of those “people who viewed this also viewed…” things.
Those related links always try to take my moolah
So rude.
Obvi, I viewed it.
Obvi, the sequel, I bought it.
I was even more excited when the donut pan showed up on my doorstep THE NEXT DAY. Of course, I threw all other recipe testing related plans out the window, and made a baked donut recipe instead.
It was a very happy day in the FFF lentil-sized kitchen.
It was also a VERY happy belly day.
I based the donuts slightly off these gluten free muffins, and you may recognize the (AH-MAY-ZING) chocolate ganache from the (most adorbs ever) gluten free pancake skewers.
Then I added more almond and more coconut…because it’s yum.
And, because I can.
Of course, I am not going to lie to you and say that you will never ever want to eat an Old Fashioned Sour Cream Donut (I love these SO much that Mr. FFF and I broke one together on our wedding day, instead of cutting cake)
Because, let’s be honest, something fried will always taste better than something baked.
HOW-EV-ER, this baked donut recipe is super moist, light and are ALMOST as good as their oily, fried (delicious) counter parts.
PLUS, they’re gluten free.
And, they taste like an almond joy. In donut form.
Sidenote: Do I make too many Almond Joy inspired desserts for you? There was the chocolate truffle recipe, the quinoa coconut chocolate gluten free cookies and the “Cheesecake”
Can’t.Stop.Chocolate.Coconut.GAH.
SO GOOD.
Let’s stop this chit chat and stuff our faces with baked yumminess kay?

Those look SO delish! Pinning, on the off chance that I ever buy a donut pan. Ok…I will never buy a donut pan. But at least it will be an easy way back to your site!

I have never made donuts at home but I really really want to. We also don’t have a donut pan, so we need to get one. But these look great so I’ll have to try them when we get a pan.
Taylor Kiser says
They are really cheap and totally worth it! Please let me know if you try it!
