If anything is clear from this experiment, it's that I need a hobby. Normal people, even people who miss their favorite cereals that aren't gluten free, don't spend all this time making gluten free fruit loops cereal.
I never said I was normal.
Freeze-dried fruit is the star in this one. Lisa has links to reliably gluten-free freeze-dried fruit and other ingredients
Blend it 'till it looks like this.
Add it together with a bunch of stuff. I really can't answer substitution questions, I'm afraid. I made 6 different formulations of the recipe before I came up with this one, and I'm sticking with it. Feel free to experiment, though!
Here's what the dough looks like when it's strawberry.
So I added a couple tablespoons of confectioner's sugar to help dry it out a bit.
Then I used a large plain pastry tip to cut out rounds.
Then pressed them through to release them.
A #2 pastry tip was the right size for the hole in the center. I also used a toothpick sometimes, since these guys are pretty small.
The flavor possibilities are endless. I made blueberry, banana and strawberry. My favorite was the blueberry. The moisture balance in the dough was perfect, and the taste was subtle and sweet.
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, cornstarch, buttermilk blend, ground fruit, salt, baking powder, baking soda, lemon powder, granulated sugar and confectioner’s sugar, and whisk to combine well. Add the melted vegetable shortening (no need to let it cool after melting in the microwave) and cream or milk, and mix to combine. The dough should come together.
Once it begins to come together, knead it with your hands until it forms a smooth but stiff dough. Some flavors will be drier than others. Blueberry is quite dry, but banana is rather wet. If the dough seems like it’s too soft dust with confectioner’s sugar by the tablespoon and knead it in to absorb some moisture.
Place the dough between two pieces of unbleached parchment paper, and roll until the dough is no less than 1/4 inch thick. With the small end of a large, plain piping tip, cut rounds out of the dough.
Press the round out of the tip through the top onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough, and place the rounds of dough less than an inch apart on the baking sheet (they won’t spread during baking). Gather scraps and reroll as necessary.
With either a toothpick or a plain #2 piping tip, press a small hole in the center of each round of dough. If using a toothpick, move it in a tight circular motion to widen the hole or it will seal up during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven, and bake for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. If any of the centers have closed during baking, gently prod them back open with a toothpick.
Turn the oven temperature down to 250 degrees F, and place the baking sheet back in the center of the oven to dry out (and become crisp) for about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The loops will crisp further as they cool.

To prove that Froot and Fruit are two entirely different things, here is the fruit-free (but Froot-full) ingredients list for Froot Loops: “Cereals (60%) (maize flour, wheat flour, oat flour), sugar, vegetable oil, salt, natural colors (paprika extract, carmine, curcumin, vegetable carbon, copper chlorophyll), minerals ...
Cereal is typically made of grains, such as wheat, oats, rice or corn. Sugar is added to some cereals to provide a sweet taste. Then, vitamins and flavors are added, and finally other delicious additions like fruits, nuts, and marshmallows.
A: Many box cereals are now available in gluten-free varieties. Some popular gluten-free options include Rice Chex, Honey Nut Cheerios, Fruity Pebbles, and Cocoa Pebbles. These cereals have alternative grains or ingredients that do not contain gluten.
Plenty claim this change happened during their childhood, while others say they just noticed it in recent months. But the truth is it's been called 'Froot Loops' since it was released in the '60s, despite some reports suggesting Kellogg's changed the name from Fruit to Froot after a lawsuit.
The quantitative PCR test verified, by DNA analysis, that 100% of the corn in the Froot Loops was GMO, containing DNA sequences known to be present in insecticide producing Bt and Roundup Ready corn.
What ingredients make fruit loops non-vegan? It may come as a surprise, but Vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin, a wax extracted from sheep wool, and therefore it is not vegan. Animal-derived Vitamin D3 is a common ingredient in many bowls of cereal, so keep an eye out for it when checking ingredient lists.
Froot Loops aren't made up of individual flavors because it's entirely unnecessary. For starters, taste and sight are connected senses, which means the color of something largely influences what flavor is perceived, and Froot Loops are no exception.
