Delicious gluten free donut recipe!
Ingredients:
DRY
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour could use sorghum or millet too
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour or more oat/sorghum/millet
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons almond meal for nut free, replace with more of one of the above flours
- 2 tablespoons chia or flax meal optional
- 1/3 cup palm sugar, or brown sugar, or more if you like them sweeter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon guar gum
WET
- 1/4 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening, coconut oil, or favorite vegan butter
- 1/2 cup vegan yogurt, or sour cream. I used So Delicious plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 Ener-G Egg Replacer for one egg mixed with a scant 1/4 cup warm water , or 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
OPTIONAL ADD IN’S
- cinnamon, dark chocolate chips, diced berries
MAPLE GLAZE
- 1/2 cup corn free powdered sugar or powdered coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted vegan butter, butter flavored coconut oil, or any butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup to achieve desired consistency
- dash of salt, optional
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly grease the donut pan or use a silicone one from Belgoods Bakeware.
-
Whisk the dry ingredients together.
-
Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender.
-
Mix the ‘egg’, and yogurt together, stir in.
-
Add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is firm but still a little sticky. You need to be able to pick it up and roll it between your hands. You could sprinkle additional flour to achieve this if necessary.
-
Using your hands, roll a golf ball size piece of dough into a short snake. Snake it into the donut mold, overlapping the ends. You could use a damp finger to smooth the tops if you wanted to be perfect.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes until just done.
-
Let cool a couple of minutes and invert on a cooling rack to avoid a soggy bottom.
-
Top with powdered sugar, cinnamon/sugar mix, or the above maple glaze. I found these to be a wee bit crumbly right out of the pan, but not so after they cooled completely!
