These donuts take on the flavors and colors of festive funfetti cake, but they are so much better because they are homemade, cakey, sweet, and even paleo. Dive into these glazed confections.

I thought a homemade doughnut sounds pretty good. And what better way any occasion than with a festively dressed grain free version. Admittedly, these are closely related to the chocolate frosted doughnuts that I made for a baby shower earlier this year, but with a slightly different flavor and, of course, bursting with color.
They are dense, cakey, festive and just sweet enough – and, for goodness’ sake, they’re doughnuts, which need no further explanation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of the grain-free flour mentioned in the recipe?
While the recipe is designed to be grain-free, you can experiment with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, but be aware that the texture may vary slightly.
What is the best way to achieve the funfetti look in these donuts?
To get the colorful funfetti effect, make sure to fold in sprinkles gently into the batter just before pouring it into the donut pan.
How can I adjust the sweetness if I prefer less sugar in the glaze?
You can reduce the sugar in the glaze by up to a quarter; however, keep in mind that sugar contributes to the overall texture and moisture of the glaze.

These look delicious – would love to try these out!
