These tender gluten free gingerbread Christmas donuts are a delicious holiday treat.

Drizzle a little icing to make them even better :-).

Tis the season for all things gingerbread and these bite-sized (okay maybe two or three bite) gluten free gingerbread donuts. They are a delicious snack everyone will enjoy.

Are you getting ready for the holidays? Here are the BEST gluten free donut recipes to take you through the holidays!

We aren’t…although I should preface that with an explanation. I love everything about the holidays, but our schedule has been so busy this year with the kids’ sports, that I haven’t had any time to really think about the holidays.

My biggest hope was that I would get November off from sports “schlepping” to do some planning. November has always been that month where there was a break.

I need to carve out some time to plan out what I want to make for the holiday season. (Like the plan to make this gluten free chocolate orange donut recipe too!)

While I am doing that, I hope you can enjoy these delicious gingerbread donuts :-). This donut recipe is easy to make so you can have donuts all of the time.

I am a big frosting and drizzle lover. If you don’t want the added sugar, these donuts have enough bold flavor to stand on their own. Feel free to eat these gingerbread Christmas donuts plain :-).

One thing I love about making mini donuts is how easy they are to make. I have been using this Babycakes Mini Donut Maker for a couple of years now and it is a huge time saver for me. Mix up a batter, pour it into each section. Close the lid.

Bam! Mini donuts only 3 minutes later.

If you prefer, you can also bake these donuts in a donut pan in your oven 🙂 Just spray the pan with coconut oil so the edges get crispy.

    • Hi Anne, You can definitely bake these in a donut pan. I recommend spraying it with a coconut oil so the edges get crispy. As for substituting the almond flour. You could try using an extra 1/4 cup of the gluten free flour instead. Please let me know how that turns out as I haven’t substituted this yet. Also note, if you aren’t using the same gluten free flour blend, don’t forget to add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum so they bind together. I appreciate your stopping by 🙂

        • Hi Hannan, I actually used a squeezable icing by Wilton that I found at my grocery store. To make your own, all you need is powdered sugar and water. One cup powdered sugar, and add 1 table spoon water. Mix and add another tablespoon. If you need the icing thinner, add a little more water, but add a tiny bit at a time now because it can get runny really quickly. Good luck 🙂
