These gluten and dairy free doughnuts are a lovely treat anytime of the year. They are simple and quick to make – ready to eat in under an hour. I enjoy decorating them to suit the season or the occasion. Yummy and delicious!
Vanilla Doughnuts - Gluten and Dairy Free

Ingredients
- 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup soy milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup powdered icing sugar
- 2 tbsp soy milk
- Sprinkles
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Grease two six-serving doughnut pans and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the soy milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
- Spoon the batter into a medium sized ziplock bag.
- Seal the bag while removing as much the air as possible.
- Cut one corner of the bottom of the bag slightly smaller than the width of the doughnut ring in your pan. About 1 inch.
- Squeeze/pipe the batter into the pans being careful not to cover the centre doughnut hole.
- Bake for 9 minutes or until the doughnuts are baked through.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Gently remove the doughnuts from the pan to a wire rack.
- Cool doughnuts on the rack for 5 minutes.
- While the doughnuts are cooling, make the glaze. Combine the 2 tbsp of soy milk and powdered sugar in a bowl that is large enough to dip the doughnuts. Mix until all the lumps have disappeared.
- Place the wire rack the doughnuts have been cooling on, over a cookie sheet or piece of parchment paper.
- Place the sprinkles on a small plate.
- One at a time, dip the tops of your doughnuts into the glaze, returning the doughnut back to the rack.
- Dip each doughnut in the glaze a second time and then into the sprinkles. Place back on the rack until the glaze has set.
- Recipe Notes
- I find using the ziplock piping method gives the doughnuts a nice shape. If you don’t have ziplock bags available, feel free to spoon the batter into the pans.
- If the doughnuts stick when trying to remove them from the pan, loosen them with a rubber spatula.
- It’s easier to glaze the doughnuts when they are warm.
- The doughnuts taste best when eaten the same day, however they will keep up to three days in an airtight container.
