Ingredients
1 cup GF flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar*
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
1/4 cup buttermilk, or 1 teaspoon vinegar mixed with 2/3 cup milk (prefer almond)
3 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze
3/4 cup icing sugar*
3-4 tablespoons coconut cream
2 teaspoons corn syrup light or dark
sprinkles optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
In a separate medium bowl whisk together the melted oil, egg, sugars, vanilla & buttermilk.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet & whisk until combined. The batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan. Or pour the batter into a ziplock bag, cut off the bottom corner, and pipe the batter into the prepared tin.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. If you lightly touch the doughnut, it should spring back. Or an inserted toothpick should come out clean.
Allow doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove from the pan and continue cooling on a wire rack
While the doughnuts are cooling, make the glaze. Whisk together the icing sugar and about 2 tablespoons cream. Add the corn syrup and slowly add the remaining cream until the glaze is smooth.
Once the doughnuts are cooled, dip the top in the glaze and sprinkle with sprinkles.
*Healthy Alternatives:
To cut down on some of the sugar in this treat, you can use sweeteners like stevia and stevia mixed with black strap molasses (for added iron, calcium and magnesium & to re-create brown sugar) and natural syrups for the icing. Mix as directed about with similar amounts, taste-testing as your go.
