Yonutz Gluten Free Donuts Review

The excitement generated by Yonutz stores has been phenomenal to say the least. With over 3 million combined TikTok and Instagram followers over several channels, and backed by Kevin Harrington of The Shark Tank television show, the logical next step was to supply their customers with gluten free donuts. On November 28, 2022, they made that dream a reality! Enter the Yonutz Gluten Free Giveaway through January 14, 2023.

Gluten Free Status

While Yonutz are not certified gluten free, they are made in a facility that produces gluten free certified food to be under 10 ppm (parts per million) gluten. The FDA requires gluten free labeled food to be under 20 ppm.

Per Yonutz,

“The Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) is a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), a 501c3 non-profit empowering the gluten-free community since 1974. Unlike other certifications which only audit record-keeping, GFCO reviews the manufacturer’s products and ingredients, and individually tailors testing requirements based on risk.

“Our products are made exclusively in this [type of] facility and I imagine in the future we will likely certify our product[s].”

Yonutz Gluten Free Donuts Allergen Status:

Yonutz gluten free donuts are made safely, free from gluten, dairy, soy, peanut, and tree nuts. They ship them fresh, directly from a gluten free facility. They include all of flavor and fun as their traditional Yonutz without the worries.

Our Review:

Carla,

“I have been 100% gluten free for over 12 years and a gluten free baker since 2005. I can tell you that Yonutz Gluten Free Donuts taste amazing! The flavors in their glazes are the key, along with the moisture in the donut base. The sweetness is well balanced, as well. They have the texture and weight similar to traditional cake donuts, but are moister. That’s what the combination of sugar and palm oil creates. They make baked and fried goods moist and creamy, similar to butter.

Upon their arrival, I homed in on their sugar-cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon, while super healthy for you, as it helps fight inflammation, I’m allergic to it as it is high in histamine. I thought I’d take one bite as it was almost time for my anti-histamine anyway. Big mistake! Why? Not because of any negative reaction, but because I couldn’t stop at one bite. The moisture, texture, and flavors were spot on!

The glaze on the Marble version was incredible! I kept trying to figure out what the flavor was. I could only guess maple, but it’s not even an ingredient, as you can see above in the ingredients list.

I next homed in on the chocolate-glazed donut, which did not have as much chocolate as I would have liked, but just as moist and just as balanced in sweetness as the others. I thought it was going to be a chocolate donut, but is a vanilla donut with chocolate glaze.

Both the classic glaze and birthday cake are similar. If you’re a classic glaze donut fan or love the fun colors and crunchy birthday jimmies, you’ll love these as well.

The strawberry had me guessing…Is it strawberry? It tastes like strawberry, but has a little tartness to it like raspberry. Nope! It’s not raspberry! It’s strawberry!

Overall, taste and texture aside, it was a wonderful and fun-filled experience much like wine-tasting, but tastier!

Steve, my gluten-eating, sweet-toothed husband,

“They’re really good. So far, the strawberry is my favorite. They’re heavier than regular donuts but I love them just the same. I only wish they had a devil’s food donut. I can see myself eating these anytime! – all the time!”

He loved them enough to polish off the rest of the box! Lol!
