Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Doughnuts

Need an easy gluten free treat? Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Doughnuts are the perfect gluten free treat for your family. 

If you miss doughnuts since going gluten free I have the perfect recipe for you today!

I miss doughnuts. If you asked me what I miss the most since going gluten free over nine years ago, doughnuts will always be on the list. 

It isn’t like I ate doughnuts a lot, but occasionally you just want a really good treat like a doughnut. 

I know many of you feel the same way. That is why I love coming up with easy and delicious gluten free recipes like this gluten free dairy free chocolate doughnut. 

These chocolate doughnuts are a baked doughnut. They are not quite the same as the light and fluffy fried kind that you get at the doughnut shop, but they are so good. 

How I Make Gluten Free Doughnuts

These are easy to make gluten free. I use individual flours, but I think a gluten free flour blend would also work. My favorite gluten free flour blend is Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free blend. 

How I Make These Dairy Free Doughnuts

These are easy to make dairy free. I use dairy free chocolate chips and coconut milk beverage. They kind of coconut milk that is in the refrigerated dairy section. I think other dairy free milks would work as well. 

What If I Am Not Dairy Free?

Just use regular milk in place of the coconut milk. 

Can you freeze doughnuts? 

Yes! Homemade doughnuts freeze great. In fact, you will often find homemade gluten free doughnuts in our freezer because they are an easy gluten free treat to take out when we need one. If others are eating regular doughnuts or breakfast type treat it is nice to have a gluten free version on hand for those that eat gluten free.
