Easy Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts Recipe
Satisfy your sweet cravings with these Easy Gluten-free Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts Recipe made with monk fruit sweetener.
It would have been when I was a kid that the memory of cinnamon sugar covered donuts started! Twice a month we would go in town to this little donut shop! It had cinnamon twists, cinnamon donut holes, and cinnamon cake donuts. ANYTHING with cinnamon was my favorite!
I may have caved in for half of a maple long john every now and then, but overall, cinnamon was my jam!
I figured that donuts were gone for good until I tried out something with my baking mix!

Here is a picture of my container top I mix the baking mix in. It has 9.5 carbs per cup. The listed oat fiber is the husk of the oat. It has no nutritional value but adds fiber and binding properties.
I use a 6 well Nordic ware donut pan. It happens to be nonstick, but you HAVE to grease EACH well with oil, so your donuts slide out!! Trust me on this!! You can find these pans on Amazon. Or get some silicone pans and stabilize on a baking sheet.
Ok, now are you ready!! Let’s make donuts!
Freezing: If you want to make a big batch and save some for later, these donuts can be frozen. Wrap each donut individually in plastic wrap and place them in a large plastic storage bag or airtight container. When ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds.
Let the Donuts Cool Before Coating: Don’t rush the process. Let the donuts cool completely before coating them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. If the donuts are too warm, the coating may melt and become sticky instead of crisp.

These look really yummy! I’m a maple donut fan, I’ll shave to figure out a sugar free substitute for maple glaze!
Yes!! Swerve powdered would be a good one to try. Butter, maple extract and swerve. Or you can powder granulated sweetener in the blender or spice grinder!
Hi there! I’m so excited to try these but what is baking mix? Baking soda maybe? Thanks!!!
Hi Cari!
The 1st picture in the post shows you my baking mix recipe. It is a combination of low carb ingredients. The paragraph before it gives you a link to my video explaining the mix and where to get the ingredients to make it at home😊 It is worth the investment as I use it in a few of my recipes on the blog, like my coffeecake, and others. Thank you! Good luck on your donuts! I would love to hear how yours turn out!
It is a blend of ingredients to make a mix. Please see the paragraph where I link you to my video where I make it. Just a bit further down in the 1st picture I give you the recipe to make the baking mix yourself😄
This mix is very handy and can be used to make my coffee cake recipe and a few others. It holds up well and does not dry out like almond flour would alone. Thank you for your comment! I hope you Get to try them!
I am allergic to flax of any kind. Can you suggest a sub and also do you use this mix in all your recipes that would otherwise be the THM BLEND?
I have not substituted the flax for anything else before. The only idea I have is to use psyllium husk, but I do not know if it would work the same. There are about 4 recipes so far using the baking mix. Others use a combination, or single use of almond flour and coconut flour.
Thank you for your comment! I hope you try some of my other recipes such as this one using coconut flour http://lowcarbwiththecarrs.com/?p=585
In your baking mix—- can regular gelatin be used instead of the Great Lakes Gelatin -Collagen??
Yes, as long as its plain gelatin😊
Ok, I looked at it again. Collagen and gelatin are different. Collagen dissolves and will not stiffen. It adds thickness, but will not thicken/harden. Gelatin will. Gelatin has to be mixed with hot water to properly dissolved.
Collagen is different than gelatin as it does not gel. Collagen is needed here in the mix.
what is the baking mix?
