Description
Bright, crunchy, and playful homemade Gluten Free Fruit Loops that mimic the nostalgic cereal while using simple gluten-free ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white rice flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup potato starch (or cornstarch)
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 large egg whites (or 3 tbsp aquafaba for vegan)
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or avocado)
- 2–3 tbsp milk or non-dairy milk (adjust for consistency)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring in desired colors (small amount per portion)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- Whisk flours, sugar, xanthan, and salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk egg whites lightly with oil, milk, and vanilla.
- Fold wet into dry until a thick, pipeable batter forms; if too stiff add 1 tsp milk at a time.
- Divide into small bowls and tint each with gel color.
- Transfer colored batter to piping bags and pipe 1–1¼” rings (leave space between).
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until rings look set and just starting to color; remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 200°F (93°C), place rings back on the sheet or a wire rack, and dry for 45–60 minutes until fully crisp.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
Notes
Use gel food coloring rather than liquid to maintain batter consistency. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
