    What is your favorite donut? I am going to be honest, I love them all! With school out for most people right now, what a fun way to celebrate friends and family than with homemade donuts? These Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Crème Brûlée Donuts are sure to become a favorite.

    Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Crème Brûlée Donuts

    I love making donuts. I'm always coming up with new recipes such as my Gluten Free Coconut Granola Coffee Cake Donuts. With the help of one of my favorite pantry staples, these decadent and luscious donuts couldn't be easier. Just be warned, once your family realizes how amazing they are, they will become a repeat request.

    Easy and Delicious

    Making donuts at home is easier than you think. These baked donuts come together in less than an hour. With Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Crème Brûlée Donuts, you won't need to run out for that donut run.

    The secret to easy donuts rests in your pantry. Skip the science of letting yeast bloom and rise, the trick to these donuts begins with my favorite Gluten Free pancake mix, Josie's Best The Pancake.

    I love all of Josie's Best products. Their mixes are all Top 8 Allergen Free making them ideal for any type of diet or lifestyle. More importantly, they taste amazing! Using the pancake mix as a base helps these donuts come together with ease while also giving incredible texture every time.

    You can also take pantry help with the Crème Brûlée portion of this donut. If you don't want to make your own Dairy Free pastry cream you can whip up your favorite brand of instant vanilla pudding.

    How to Make Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Crème Brûlée Donuts

    With just a few simple steps and tips you will be on your way to making morning time an event!

    Time needed: 1 hour.

    Get the coffee brewing because breakfast gets a fun upgrade with these easy homemade baked donuts.

    1. Pregame

      Preheat your oven to 375. This recipe makes 8 donuts. Spray a donut pan with nonstick baking spray and set it aside.

    2. Mix it up!

      Add melted Dairy Free butter and sugar to a bowl and mix for a couple of minutes. Mix in the Dairy Free unsweetened yogurt, egg, and vanilla until combined. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until just combined. You want to be careful of not over mixing.

    3. Batter up

      Divide your donut batter between the donut tins. I like to add berries to my Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Crème Brûlée Donuts. If you're adding berries slice them into thin sliced and sink them into the batter.

    4. Timing

      Bake your donuts for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    5. Cool Down

      Allow your donuts to partially cool on a cooling rack before filling them with either Dairy Free pastry cream or vanilla instant pudding.

    6. Fire it up

      Lightly sprinkle sugar over the top of the pudding or pastry cream. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the top until golden brown.

    Tips for Making Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Crème Brûlée Donuts

    I have two tips that will make these donuts a success every time. As with any type of baked good, don't over mix your batter once you add in your dry ingredients. You want to mix it until it's just combined. Second, when it comes to making instant pudding with any type of Dairy Free milk, you want to make sure the milk is cold, and always mix on high speed. This will help it set more easily.

    Instructions

    Gluten Free Donuts

    • Preheat oven to 375. Spray a donut pan with nonstick baking spray. This recipe makes 8 donuts.
    • Add the melted butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and mix for a couple of minutes.
    • Add the egg, vanilla, and yogurt and mix to combine.
    • Add in the remaining ingredients and mix until just combined.
    • Divide the batter in the prepared donut pan.
    • If adding berries, add thin slices of berries into the batter.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and they are golden brown.
    • Transfer the donuts to a cooling rack and allow them to partially cool.

    Dairy Free Pastry Cream

    • Add the oat milk and vanilla to a saucepan on medium heat.
    • Add the sugar, egg and egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt to a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
    • Once the milk comes to a boil, turn the heat to low.
    • Add a ladle of the warmed milk to the egg mixture, whisking to combine. Add another ladle full while continuing to whisk. This will temper the eggs.
    • Pour the warmed egg mixture back into the saucepan with the milk and continue to stir.
    • Continue to stir until the mixture becomes thick and coats the back of a spoon. It should hold its shape when you use your finger to make a line down the back of the spoon.
    • Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl and cover.
    • Allow the pastry cream to completely cool in the refrigerator.

    • Sprinkle sugar over the top.
    • Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and caramelize the sugar.
