Glazed Donut Waffles (grain free, dairy free)
Glazed Donut Waffles. They're exactly what they sound like—grain-free donuts cooked right in a waffle iron, then topped off with a dreamy coconut butter glaze and some fun sprinkles. These are perfect for when you want a little indulgence but still want a healthier option. Let's dive into how I make these delightful treats.
Ingredients Breakdown
For the Donut Waffles:
- Almond Flour, Tapioca Flour, & Coconut Flour: These are my go-to for grain-free baking. They keep things light and fluffy, which is just perfect for the texture of donuts.
- Granulated Sweetener: I use monk fruit because I like keeping things sugar-free, but you could use any granulated sweetener you prefer.
- Baking Powder & Salt: Just a bit to help the donuts rise and enhance the flavors.
- Coconut Oil: This gives the waffles that nice crispy edge once they hit the waffle iron.
- Almond Milk & Eggs: They bring moisture and bind everything together.
- Vanilla Extract: A must for that sweet, classic flavor.
For the Coconut Butter Glaze:
- Coconut Butter: It's rich and creamy, perfect for a glaze.
- Maple Syrup: For a touch of natural sweetness.
- Coconut or any dairy free Milk: To thin out the glaze to the perfect drizzly consistency.
- Vanilla Extract: For that extra hint of vanilla.
And don't forget the Sprinkles: Because why not? It makes everything more fun!

Ingredients
Ingredients
- •
- 1 C almond flour
- 1/4 C coconut flour
- 1/3 C tapioca starch
- 1/2 cup granulated sweetener, like monk fruit or erythritol for a low-sugar option
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted refined coconut oil
- 1/3 cup unsweetened full fat coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coconut butter glaze
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, adjust based on sweetness preference
- 2-3 tablespoons almond or coconut milk, or more, for desired consistency
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping:
- 2-3 tbsp Natural rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Prepare the Donut Waffle Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the Donut Waffles:
- Pour enough batter into the center of the waffle iron to cover the waffle plates, typically about 1/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden and slightly crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the waffle carefully and repeat with the remaining batter.
Make the Coconut Butter Glaze:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut butter with maple syrup and vanilla extract. Gradually add almond milk, whisking continuously, until the glaze is smooth and reaches your preferred consistency.
Assemble the Glazed Donut Waffles:
- Place the cooked waffles on a serving plate. Drizzle the warm coconut butter glaze over the waffles, ensuring each one is well-coated.
- Sprinkle natural rainbow sprinkles over the glazed waffles for a festive, fun look.
Serve:
- Serve these Glazed Donut Waffles warm, with additional glaze and sprinkles on the side if desired.
