Vegan, GF Mini Donut Recipe [via Kelly Wilde]


In a bowl combine:
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 tsp xanthem gum
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon

In another bowl combine:
1 flax egg
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp melted earth balance butter
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar 
1 tsp vanilla
1 dropper of pure liquid stevia


Yields: 24 Mini Donuts


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray mini donut pan with Coconut Oil spray. Blend the dry ingredients into the wet a little at a time and whisk until blended; it should have a consistency of pancake batter. Put the batter into a ziplock bag and cut off the end and pipe into pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan.


Glaze with Emmy's Organics
 Chocolate Sauce
Alternatively, some are dipped in melted earth balance DF butter and coated in coconut sugar. 





Ingredients:

1/2 cup Coconut Flour

1/2 cup Gluten-Free Baking Flour
1/3 cup Rolled Oats
1/4 cup Coconut Palm Sugar
1/4 cup Dried Cranberries
1/4 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
2 ripe Bananas, mashed
2 heaping tbsp Sun Butter, you can substitute with any nut or seed butter
2 heaping tbsp Almond Milk
1 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Sprinkle of Cinnamon, to top (optional)
Slivered Almonds, to top (optional)

Yields: 21 Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and whisk together.

Peel your ripe bananas into a medium bowl and begin to mash them with the back of a fork until the consistency is like applesauce. Mix in your almond milk, sun butter and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet into the dry ingredients and mix till evenly incorporated. Fold in your dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips.

Grab a 1 inch scoop, start to pack in the cookie dough with your thumb. It’s a crumbly batter, so you need to be a little patient with it. Release the scoop and place each cookie about 1-2 inches apart. Repeat until all the dough is portioned.

For an extra special touch, add a little sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top of each cookie.

Bake for 15-16 minutes, making sure your baking rack is set in the middle to bottom range. Turn the oven off and let them rest in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. You’ll have to adjust the time if you flatten these.

Remove your cookies and let them rest until cooled, about 5-10 minutes.

Top with Emmy's Organics Chocolate Sauce, almonds and ground cinnamon, optional.
