Ingredients

Maple Doughnuts

  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ½ cup sweet rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons natural cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil (like sunflower or grapeseed)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Salted Almond Butter Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • good pinch fine sea salt
  • chopped nuts and seeds to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Grease your doughnut pan and heat your oven to 350 F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, sweet rice flour, cane sugar, almond meal, coconut flour, ground flax, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk to fully combine.
  • In a small bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk to fully combine.
  • Pour the liquid components into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Fold it all together with a spatula until just combined (or until you don't see dry flour bits anymore). Spoon the batter into your doughnut pan (or fill a zipper seal bag with the batter, cut off a corner and pipe it into the pan). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the doughnuts comes out clean. Gently remove the doughnuts from the pan and allow them to cool thoroughly.
  • While doughnuts are cooling, mix up the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients until you have a smooth mixture.
  • Once cool, dip doughnuts into the glaze and return them to your cooling rack so the glaze can harden a bit. Press any chopped nuts/seeds etc into the glaze at this point.

Equipment

  • Doughnut Pan

Recipe Notes

  • From Baked Doughnuts for Everyone by Ashley McLaughlin
  • I went in with chopped pecans and pumpkin seeds to top mine (nature's sprinkles!), but cacao nibs, chopped dried cherries or any other nut/seed would be lovely. Also, you need a donut pan for this recipe!
