Gluten Free Carrot Cake Donuts

The most delicious and fluffy gluten free carrot cake donuts frosted and topped with walnuts for a perfect Spring treat. Sweetened with honey and baked, not fried, these donuts are gluten free, dairy free and unbelievably soft.

Carrot cake is seriously one of the most underrated desserts and I don’t get the chance to make it enough. The best thing about these donuts besides the fact that there’s no frying required is that they are so easy to make!

Here’s the steps involved:

  1. Mix all your dry ingredients together in a bowl. 
  2. Add the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
  3. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or plastic zip bag and fill 6 donuts molds.
  4. Bake your donuts.
  5. Once the donuts are cooled, whisk together the glaze and dip each donut.
  6. Top with crushed walnuts and enjoy!
