If you love gluten free desserts, these gluten free vanilla pudding donuts are going to make your mouth water!
This is part two of my gigantic donut binge last week :-).
Every now and then I just NEED gluten free donuts. Nobody in my family seemed to mind helping me out with this problem.
Mr. Fearless Dining was out of town, thank goodness. He is trying so hard to stay away from the sweets I make. It is hard when we both work from home and I am making something hard to resist. I don’t think he knows what he missed last week, so I am crossing my fingers he doesn’t see this post. (Don’t tattle on me!)
And if you are a true vanilla lover, you need to try this Simple 3 Ingredient French Vanilla Mousse and this Easy Hack for Quick and Delicious Rice Pudding.
These gluten free vanilla pudding donuts are just the bomb. There are a few words to describe how good they are.
Moist, crispy on the edges, bursting with vanilla flavors…they are definitely memorable.
Vanilla Pudding Mix
A note about the pudding I used. I used regular pudding and not the instant mix. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I wanted to let you know so you knew what to shop for on your next trip to the grocery store.
I know I talk about my donut maker a lot. This is what I use to make donuts. It makes the outside of the donuts a little crispy, just like they were fried. Luckily, these are not fried so they are a lot healthier to eat 🙂

How to make gluten free vanilla donuts:

- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 stick butter
- dash salt
- Icing sprinkles ,etc. (I used Wilton brand)
- Preheat the Babycakes donut maker.
- In a mixer, add wet ingredients and mix on low speed.
- Gradually add in flour, pudding, sugar, and salt.
- Continue to mix on low speed until blended.
- Spoon batter into each donut cup in the donut maker.
- Cook 3-4 minutes until done.
- Remove from the donut maker onto a cooling rack.
- When cool, drizzle with icing.

These are so pretty! Donuts are one indulgence I can usually avoid, but I’m not sure if I’d be able to avoid these. I love, love, love funfetti cake, and these look like they’d taste just like it. Yum!
LOL, I have no will power. I do have some healthy breakfast donuts on my blog that wouldn’t make you feel so guilty 🙂
doughnuts are absolutely my weakness, and these would be really hard to pass up
Agreed 🙂

I have that same donut maker and I love it! These are so tasty looking and I love that you added pudding to them!
I am glad you like the donut maker too…it is so easy, even my kids now make donuts.
These are so pretty! Pinning and sharing!
Thank you so much Sara 🙂
I am allergic to all nuts. So what could I use instead of almond flour
Hi Jackie, you can totally make this without nut flour. Just use 3/4 cup gluten free flour for the recipe.
This may be a dippy question, but do you make the pudding and add it or do you just use the mix?
Thanks! So glad I found your blog. My son and I were recently diagnosed with celiac and I’m trying to find creative ways to get through. 🙂
Hi Sara, Your question isn’t dippy at all. I use the pudding mix. I don’t make pudding. I am so glad my blog is helpful. Thank you so much, you made my day 🙂
If you don’t have a donut maker can you bake them in a donut pan in the oven??
Hi Sherry, you can easily make them in a donut pan in your oven…Enjoy 🙂
