I stay away from artificial food dyes and only use plant based food dyes and sprinkles in my baking. I used these artificial dye free sprinkles and this is the gel plant based food dye I used to make that pretty lavender icing. If you don’t avoid these, then feel free to use your preferred rainbow sprinkles & food dye for this recipe.
For this recipe you’ll need a donut pan (I use this one). If you don’t have a donut pan, you can roll the dough into balls and bake on a baking sheet and make donut holes instead. You can honestly make these donuts any shape your heart desires and they will be just as delicious.
These delicious gluten free donuts are the perfect treat for any celebration, whether it be a birthday, graduation, kick off to summer or just any day, you are sure to enjoy this colorful treat!
Grab your apron, let’s get to bakin’!
