Did you ever think you would be able to have a delicious, fluffy donut while being on a grain-free diet? I sure didn’t until I made these wonderful strawberry donuts! I love that these donuts give you the satisfaction of eating a donut while at the same time they are allergy and diet restriction friendly! Strawberry donuts are not only grain-free, but they are also tree nut free, corn free, gluten free, and low in sugar. They pair great with dairy-free marshmallow fluff frosting and look fantastic decorated with the simple chocolate hearts! Grain-free strawberry donuts are the perfect treat for Valentines Day (or any day really!).

What could say “I love you” better than a delicious donut? If you know the answer to that let me know. Anyways, I think you are going to love these donuts, whether you enjoy them yourself, share them with friends, or make them for someone special. I am a cookie and pie type person, but a good old donut is what I need ever so often.
For me, donuts can be just about anything, dessert, breakfast, snack, side dish. They really are a versatile food! I love having them for snack, since they are delicious and filling. They also make a great breakfast, a special way to start your day! Dessert is another role they can fill since they are sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. Sometimes I’ll even serve them as a side to salad or soup. You never know when you’ll need a donut in my house!

I love how simple and easy these grain-free strawberry donuts are to make. The batter whips up quickly and the donuts don’t stick to the donut pan when you are trying to get them out! I like to use these Wilton non-stick donuts pans which can be found on Amazon. Each pan has 6 donut cavities and they are super easy to clean. Making the donut batter and filling the donut pans is simple, but here are a few tips to ensure your donuts come out fantastic!
When coming up for a frosting for these donuts, I knew I wanted to stick to the Valentine’s Day theme I had going, and brown coconut sugar frosting just didn’t seem to fit the bill! So, I came up with the idea to use white marshmallow fluff for the frosting instead. It turned out perfect and went great with the donuts!
This marshmallow fluff recipe is super simple and easy to make! It uses only 5 simple ingredients. Marshmallow fluff frosting pairs great with the strawberry donuts but you can also try it on other baked goods! Keep in mind that you will want to frost the donuts right after you make the marshmallow fluff since the fluff will set up the longer it sits out. Marshmallow fluff that has set up is really hard to spread!
To make sure your honey mixture reaches the right temperature you can use a candy thermometer or a meat thermometer. I use this Thermo deep fry thermometer any time I need to heat a mixture up to a certain temperature. It reads in both Fahrenheit and Celsius and can clip onto the edge of your pot too. When taking the temperature reading of the honey mixture, try not to let the thermometer tip rest on the bottom of the pan. That would give you a slightly hotter temperature output.
Decorating the donuts is the fun part! Again you will want to decorate them right after you frost them, before the marshmallow fluff sets up. I made these cute little chocolate peanut butter hearts to decorate my donuts with! Here is how you make them:
I think you are going to love these donuts! They have a great taste and texture and are the perfect healthy substitute to traditional donuts. Being grain-free and gluten-free makes them the perfect treat for low inflammation diets. I love making and decorating these fun donuts!
I hope you give these grain-free strawberry donuts a try! They have an amazing taste, delicious texture, and they are healthy for you! They make the perfect Valentine treat for those special individuals who have diet restrictions! I love that they are cute, simple and fun, plus they are free of inflammation causing ingredients, like gluten, corn, and grains. Have fun making, decorating, and eating these delicious donuts!
