Equipment
Ingredients
Donuts
- ¾ cup + 2 Tbs 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
Strawberry Glaze
- ¼ cup powdered sugar* sifted
- 1-2 tablespoon crushed freeze dried strawberries
- 1-2 tablespoon yogurt of choice
- 1- teaspoon tsp milk of choice
Strawberry Crunch
- 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 1 cup rice crisps
- 2 teaspoon coconut sugar
Instructions
Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Sift together the flours and then whisk in the salt and baking powder.
- in a separate bowl, beat together the oil, maple syrup, yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry to the wet and stir to combine.
- Grease a donut pan then pipe the batter into the pan. You will get 8-10 donuts (so you may have to bake in batches if you only have one pan, or you can make donut holes with the remaining batter).
- Bake the donuts for 14-16 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan before flipping the donuts out.
Strawberry crunch
- While donuts bake, pulse together all strawberry crunch ingredient in a blender until you have a rough texture that isn't fully powder. Alternatively you can mash everything in a bowl or bag if you don't have a blender or food processor.
- Pour into a wide bowl and set aside.
Strawberry glaze
- Once donuts are fully cooled, mix together the powdered sugar and crushed strawberry powder in a wide bowl.
- Add the yogurt and mix to combine then add milk 1 teaspoon at a time. You want to an achieve a glaze that will stick to the donuts, but isn't too runny. It should be slightly runnier than yogurt.
- Dip one donut at a time into the glaze, fully coating it, then into the strawberry crunch. Place on a wire rack and finish the remaining donuts.
