Banana Bread Donuts – gluten free, vegan, and top8free

October 21, 2015 by Elizabeth DiBurro 6 Comments

Banana Bread Donuts that are gluten free and vegan!

Try this delicious gluten free banana bread donut recipe which is also vegan and top8free (dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free, wheat-free, fish-free, shellfish-free).  Gluten-free donuts don’t need to taste like cardboard.  Trust me!  The best allergy-friendly donuts are less than 30 minutes away from coming out of your oven. 

My son has diet restrictions to dairy, egg, nuts, legumes, and garlic and I avoid gluten so it only made sense to make these donuts top8free so we could both enjoy them.  Lucky for us they taste amazing so my husband and oldest son, who have no restrictions, also eat them.  I made a large batch and froze the majority of them for later and kept out six for snacking and lunchboxes for the next couple of days.

Gluten-Free Vegan Banana Bread Donuts

I used my original banana bread recipe (which contains wheat) and created a donut recipe which excludes wheat because let’s face it…kids love donuts even if they taste the same as muffins.  There’s just something about the donut shape! 

To the recipe…

Banana Bread Donuts – gluten free, vegan, top8free

Print Recipe HERE

1 3/4 cup of gluten free flour mix (I used King Arthur’s new Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Mix which does contain xanthum gum)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup Spectrum shortening
1 cup mashed banana
1Tbsp of EnerG egg replacer mixed with 4Tbsp warm water

  1. Preheat oven 350 degrees.
  2. Grease donut pan.
  3. In a large bowl mix first six ingredients with a fork until crumbly.
  4. Mix egg replacer and water in a small bowl.
  5. Add bananas and egg replacer to the large bowl and mix well.
  6. Pour mixture into gallon size bag and snip one corner to make a pastry bag.
  7. Pipe mixture into donut pan.
  8. Bake in oven 15-20 minutes, until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes in pan then empty onto cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

That’s it.  Enjoy your donuts and make sure you save enough to put in the freezer!  If you like this recipe you may also enjoy one of the many top8free recipes here.

    Elizabeth, these look and sound delicious! I've developed a lot of recipes for friends with different allergies, but I've never set out to make one top8free. I like that term — saves a lot of talking/writing! 😀

    The baking blend you mentioned has baking soda and salt etc. Did you need the extra that you mentioned?

      HI Hannah,
      This recipe is originally my husband’s grandmother’s recipe. When I made the substitutes to make it gluten free I still included the baking soda and salt. Thanks for the question!

    Hi! Two questions, can I use regular flour (do I need to add anything else)? And can I sub earth balance “butter” for the shortening (I don’t have any on hand)?
    Thanks!
