Yes, you can make delicious, cakey, gluten free donuts. Chocolate Glaze (That Hardens when Cool) was my inspiration for the glaze. The recipe makes six regular donuts or 12 mini-donuts. If using the mini-pan the cooking time may need to be adjusted. Ingredients:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, blend gluten free |
2 tablespoons tapioca starch (expandex) |
1/4 cup cocoa |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon xanthan gum |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 tablespoons dried dry buttermilk |
2 large eggs |
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted |
2 -4 tablespoons water, divided |
1 1/2 tablespoons melted coconut oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa |
1 1/2-2 tablespoons hot water, divided |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
chopped peanuts (optional) |
sweetened flaked coconut (optional) |
nonpareils (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 6 hole donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl blend together the flour, tapioca starch, cocoa, sugar, gum, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and buttermilk powder.
3. In a small bowl beat together the eggs, oil and 2 tablespoons water. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. If mixture is to thick add in additional water until a smooth, thick, cake batter consistency is achieved.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing with a spatula. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to rest in pan a minute or two and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.
5. In a small bowl, blend together the coconut oil, cocoa, 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water, sugar and vanilla. Stir until smooth adding in additional water as needed. Place the cooling rack with donuts on a cookie sheet and spoon the chocolate glaze over the donuts allowing the glaze to drip down sides. Immediately top with topping of choice; i.e., peanuts, coconut or nonpareils. Enjoy!
