  • Mixing Bowl x3
  • Whisk
  • Microwavable Dish
  • Silicone doughnut tray
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

For the batter

  • 220 Grams Gluten-free plain flour
  • 1/2 Tsp Xanthan gum Omit if your flour blend already contains this
  • 1.5 Tsp Baking powder
  • 85 grams Caster sugar
  • 100 ml Plant-based milk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 40 Grams Vegan butter Recommendation: Stork baking block
  • 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla essence
  • Olive oil For greasing the doughnut trays

For the coating

  • 100 Grams Caster sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 100 Grams Vegan butter

Instructions
 

Preparing and cooking the doughnut batter

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190°C (conventional) or 170°C (fan)
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl
  • Melt the butter in an microwavable bowl
  • Add the butter to the bowl containing the dry ingredients and mix together thoroughly until combined
  • Add the rest of the batter ingredients to the bowl and whisk together until fully combined
  • Grease a doughnut tray with olive oil (or melted butter if preferred)
  • Carefully spoon the batter evenly into the doughnut tray
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes (until golden)
  • Once cooked, remove the doughnuts from the oven and leave in the doughnut tray to cool (this should take about 10 minutes)

Coating the doughnuts

  • Melt the butter in a microwavable dish which is large enough to fit a doughnut in
  • In a second mixing bowl, place the sugar and cinnamon and mix together so the spice is evenly distributed throughout the sugar
  • Once the doughnuts have cooled enough to handle, gently remove them from the doughnut tray and place them one at a time into the melted butter dish
  • Move the doughnut around in the melted butter to ensure it is fully coated
  • Move the doughnut from the butter bowl to the sugar/cinnamon mix and move around until fully coated
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: best stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1-3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Tip: The doughnuts are best served warm so give them a quick 20-30 seconds to warm through before serving.
