✨ Baked Donut Holes ✨

Ingredients

- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

- 1½ tsp xanthan gum

- ¾ cup coconut sugar

- 1½ tsp gluten-free baking powder

- ½ tsp ground cinnamon

- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

- ¼ tsp sea salt

- 1 large egg

- ¾ cup + 1 tbsp coconut milk beverage, divided use

- 2 tbsp extra-virgin organic coconut oil, melted

- 1¼ tsp pure vanilla extract, divided use

- ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1) Preheat the oven to 350º F. Lightly coat two mini-muffin pans with spray. Set aside.

2) Place flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a food processor (or blender). Pulse to blend. Set aside.

3) Combine egg, ¾ cup coconut milk, oil, and 1 tsp. extract in a medium mixing bowl; whisk to blend.

4) Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Process for 30 to 60 seconds, scraping sides occasionally, until a smooth batter forms.

5) Fill prepared pan with approx. 1 Tbsp. batter per muffin cup. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tops of donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

6) To make glaze, combine powdered sugar, remaining 1 Tbsp. coconut milk, and remaining ¼ tsp. extract in a small bowl; whisk to blend.

7) Dip top of each cooled donut hole into glaze and place on a serving plate.

Notes:

For vegan donut holes, substitute 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water for egg. Mix flaxseed and water; set aside while combining dry ingredients.

Check your gluten-free flour for xanthan gum; some contain it and some don’t! If yours does, you won’t need to add that.
