National Donut Day – Gluten-free donuts!

One of my favourite blogs is Edible Perspective. She has made lots of gluten-free donuts. I decided to prepare the dry ingredients in zip lock bags so when I got a craving to make them it would be half done. Here are the flavours I made from her blog.

Ingredients for the base to all these different donuts.

    • 1/2c oat flour (ground in a blender from rolled or steel cut oats)
    • 1/2c sweet rice flour
    • 3T coconut flour
    • 1/3c sucanat ( or brown sugar)
    • 1/2t salt
    • 1t baking powder
    • 2 large eggs (I used egg whites)
    • 3T unsweetened applesauce
    • 6T  almond milk ( I used unsweetened)
    • 2t vanilla
Lemon Donuts 2T lemon juice, 1T lemon zest, 1tsp lemon extract

Cinnamon sugar donuts add 1.5 tsp cinnamon

For the topping you need maple syrup and sucanat. Drop the donut on a plate of maple syrup then dip it in a plate of sucanat. Voila!

Lime Donuts add 3T lime juice 1-1.5T lime zest

Shout out to edible perspective for making such yummy treats!

Chocolate donuts!!!

These goodies are gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free! They are also definitely not fried! My husband compared them to the chocolate glazed donuts at Tim Hortons! I got a donut pan for christmas, but if you don’t have one don’t sweat it – you can still make these in a muffin tin. Get creative!

Ingredients

3/4c almond butter

2 eggs ( I used 2 egg whites)

1/2 cup cocoa powder

11 stevia packets

1/2tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

Powdered sugar ( I used xylitol)

Just mix all ingredients together. I used a piping bag to get the batter neatly into the muffin tray. Pop these in the oven at 350 and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they will take a little longer if they are in a muffin pan. For a sugar free version I made powdered sugar out of Xylitol by putting the crystals in the blender. You could use Sucanat as well!
