Servings 6 -8 donuts
Ingredients
- ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp 1:1 gluten free flour
- ½ cup tigernut flour or almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup yogurt of choice I use coconut yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a donut pan and set aside. Be generous in coating the pan so that the donuts do not stick!
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- Beat together the wet ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Spoon batter into a piping bag (see below if you don't have a piping bag)
- Pipe batter into the doughnut pan. You may have extra batter and need to bake in batches.
- Bake the donuts in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops spring back when touched. They won't necessarily be golden brown since we aren't frying them.
- While donuts back, make the cinnamon sugar topping and pour into a large plastic bag.
- Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Use a wire rack to flip the donuts out.
- Toss donuts in cinnamon sugar mixture. If the mixture is not sticking, you can lightly brush the donuts with coconut oil. Place coated donuts on a cooling rack.
