For anyone with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance who is also a donut fanatic, gluten-free donuts are a real gem. They do not cause damage to the small intestine of such people and do not cause adverse symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea in such people.
I know, you can get them at almost any donut store. Still, if you could bake them yourself at home, obviously it would be a lot of fun, no? Plus, you can make gluten-free donuts healthier by reducing the sugar or using healthier ingredients.
While gluten-free donuts may be a suitable alternative for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, they’re not necessarily a healthier weight loss option. What you need to know is that just because a food is labeled “gluten-free” doesn’t automatically make it healthy. Gluten-free donuts can still contain high levels of sugar, unhealthy fats and calories, which can lead to weight gain. Therefore, for people who are losing weight, limited consumption is still necessary.
