Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
5 cups gluten-free rice flour mix (see note)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 beaten egg, set aside
1/2 cup sugar, set aside in a bowl
seedless raspberry jelly or strawberry jelly

Steps:

  • Beat 2 eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter in a large bowl with a whisk.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold slowly into the wet ingredients, mixing by hand with a wooden spoon. When the ingredients are mostly combined, use your hands to knead a few times to make sure the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Sprinkle extra rice flour mix on your countertop or a large cutting board. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. If dough is sticky, work in more rice flour blend.
  • Heat 2 inches of canola oil until very hot (375 degrees F).
  • Use a glass, biscuit cutter or jar with approximately 3-inch diameter to cut disks out of the dough. Place 1/2 teaspoon of jelly in the center of one disk. Brush the beaten egg you've set aside around the outer edge of the dough. Place a second disk of dough on top, and use your fingers to crimp the edges until they are sealed. Repeat until you've used up all the dough. Remaining dough scraps can be rolled into balls ("donut holes") and fried.
  • Carefully place sufganiyot in hot oil with a slotted spatula. Cook until very brown on one side. If necessary, turn the donut over and brown on the second side. Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with two layers of paper towel or brown paper. While warm, roll sufganiyot in the bowl of sugar to coat.
  • Serve while warm.

BAKED & GLAZED CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP DONUTS {GLUTEN & TOP 8 ALLERGY FREE} RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Baked & Glazed Chocolate Chocolate Chip Donuts {Gluten & Top 8 Allergy Free} Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by KeeleyMcGuireBlog

Number Of Ingredients 19

(See original blog post for brand recommendations, additional recipe notes, & photos.)
For Donuts --
1/2 Cup of Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup of Gluten Free Pancake Mix
1/2 teaspoon of Xantham Gum (if not already added to your flour)
1/4 Cup of Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon of Baking Powder
4 Tablespoons of Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla
3/4 Cup of Unsweetened Applesauce
1 Tablespoon of Oil
4 Tablespoons of Non-Dairy Milk
1/2 Cup of Allergy-Free Mini Chocolate Chips
For Glaze --
1 Cup of Confectioners Sugar
1/8 Cup of Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 Cup of Non-Dairy Milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your donut pan thoroughly and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients - flour, pancake mix, xantham gum, then brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Once mixed, begin adding your wet ingredients in the same bowl - vanilla, applesauce, then oil. Give the batter a mix together to begin to combine before adding the non-dairy milk. Batter should have a pudding like consistency. Stir in the chocolate chips. Fill donut pan FULL using all the batter. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the tops before baking. Do not open the oven to check for the first ten minutes - let them bake! They will only take 14-16 minutes. Use a toothpick to check their "doneness". Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least five minutes. Use a knife to loosen the donuts, then transfer to a cooling rack to continue cooling. Serve and enjoy or add optional glaze. For the optional glaze: Begin preparing while donuts are in the oven. This way it has time to thicken while they are cooling. In a medium size bowl, mix together the confectioners sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and non-dairy milk. Once donuts have cooled, dunk into glaze - allowing excess to drip off, and let set on parchment paper until glaze hardens before serving.

Tips:

  • Use the right gluten-free flour blend. Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Some are better for baking than others. For this recipe, I recommend using a blend that contains a combination of almond flour, tapioca flour, and coconut flour.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. When baking gluten-free, it's important to be precise with your measurements. This will help ensure that your donuts turn out light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your donuts tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest. Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before frying will help it to thicken and produce light and fluffy donuts.
  • Fry the donuts at the right temperature. The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will brown too quickly and be raw in the center. If the oil is too cool, the donuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the donuts, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the donuts will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the donuts on paper towels. After frying, drain the donuts on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free donuts can be just as delicious as traditional donuts. With the right ingredients and a little care, you can make light and fluffy gluten-free donuts that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
