Seeking gluten-free bakery items at Dunkin Donuts? Unfortunately, Dunkin Donuts has not made much progress in growing its offerings for those following a gluten-free diet.
Quick History: Back in 2012, the Dunkin Donuts restaurant chain said it planned announced plans to offer gluten-free bakery products.
Beginning later this year, participating U.S. Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants will have the option to offer certified gluten-free bakery products, including a new gluten-free Cinnamon Sugar Donut and a gluten-free Blueberry Muffin. Our culinary and commercialization teams have worked very hard to create these new gluten-free menu items to be just as delicious as all of our product offerings. It took a great deal of experimentation to come up with the correct, unique blend of rice flours and certain starches such as potato and tapioca to replace traditional wheat flour.
The Dunkin’ Donuts’ gluten-free Cinnamon Sugar Donut is an old-fashioned cake donut coated with cinnamon sugar and the gluten-free Blueberry Muffin features all of the best attributes of Dunkin’ Donuts’ classic blueberry muffin, including being topped with our signature crunchy baking sugar. I’m excited to say both of our gluten-free items are delicious and more importantly, customers in our test markets have told us they are too.
Unfortunately, by the end of 2013, the products were discontinued. In 2018, Dunkin Donuts would come back with a gluten-free fudge brownie; however, that would also go on to be discontinued in January 2019 with a statement claiming it was only meant as a limited-time offering.
In the years since no progress has been made on new gluten-free bakery offerings, but the company does maintain an official Dunkin Donuts dietary page.

As always, when dining out gluten-free, do your due diligence and make sure the staff understands your needs. There are very few restaurants that are 100% gluten-free, so cross-contamination is always a risk. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you are hearing from the staff, perhaps it is best to dine elsewhere.
