The Best Gluten Free Maple Donuts with Bacon

I would be grateful if you shared this post :-)

Bacon makes everything better, including these yummy gluten free maple donuts with bacon!

My kids thought I was nuts when I decided to add bacon to their donuts today. I guess it does sound a bit odd, but I can’t resist bacon! These gluten free maple donuts didn’t last long and they disappeared really quickly.

Ever since I tried Psycho Donuts gluten free maple bacon donuts I have been obsessed with bacon and maple.

This gluten free  maple donut recipe is my attempt to recreate these amazing donuts for my family.

Our family fell in love with these donut shop donuts, but the sugar rush after eating just one regular sized donut was enough to make us all bounce off the walls.

(*If you are a donut enthusiast like us, try these Gluten Free Banana Chunky Monkey Donuts or these Gluten Free Healthy Breakfast Donuts!!) 

I decided to try to remake these maple donuts to be a little healthier by making them dairy free, adding almond flour for protein, and using coconut sugar to make the donut part lower glycemic.

There is only so much you can do when you add a frosting drizzle, but the donut underneath it all is much healthier 🙂

Is bacon gluten free?

The short answer is yes, but I will always tell you to read the label!! I often find gluten hidden in the strangest things. For this recipe, I used Trader Joe’s pre-cooked bacon, but feel free to use any cooked bacon!

I really love my Babycakes Donut Maker. It is so easy to use and even easier to clean. I find I use it a couple of times a month because my kids really love donuts. You can also make these donuts in a donut pan.

You will find this gluten free baked donuts recipe to be a great alternative to donut shops where they fry their donuts.

You can also make these donuts in a donut pan. (If you use a donut pan, you may consider spraying coconut oil in the pan so the edges get a little crispy like a fried donut.)

This is what the gluten free maple donut batter looks like before cooking the donuts. It is a little thick, but the mini donuts are still light and fluffy!

Your doughnuts will look golden when they are all finished. Use the special fork that comes with the donut maker to remove the donuts. These gluten free donuts are hot!
