Yield 6-8 donuts

Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 cups flour blend
  • 1/3-1/2 cup almond milk
  • Baking soda & Baking Powder (1/2tsp max)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup shortening or plant margarine, melted
  • vanilla
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • Dash of salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350F. If deep frying, prep & heat oil and a word of warning - do not use coconut flour in deep fried doughnuts as some flours soak up oil and make it too oily.
  2. 2
    Oil the pan if you're baking. Silicone works great.
  3. 3
    Mix dry to wet ingredients - eggs, almond milk, baking soda and powder, any flavorings you're using, vanilla and sugar with a dash of salt to help those flavors come to life. Any flavors to be cooked in like cinnamon for the dough should be introduced now.
  4. 4
    Smell your dough to get a sense of it before you finish it; does it smell good to you? Deep fried donuts will need to be thicker and more like a biscuit dough in texture for best effect while baked GF donuts can be as loose as a thick waffle dough to pour into silicone pans for baking. Add almond milk or flour if needed to get to the right texture for your cooking method and blend until there are no clumps. Chill dough if you are deep frying. This isn't necessary for baked donuts.
  5. 5
    Add prepared donut-dough to the baking silicone pan if that's what you have, or prep donuts in the size you prefer for deep frying if that's your method. Bake for 18-24 minutes until golden like above. Deep fried donuts will take less time and be more golden.
  6. 6
    CHILL OUT. WAIT UNTIL COOL OR EVERYTHING WILL MELT OFF.
  7. 7
    Toppings are your choice of course, chocolate sunflower butter once a bit cooled worked well for me while the purple batch have a lemon glaze mixed with a bit of acai powder, so a LemonAcaiUbe flavored cake.
