Gluten free vanilla doughnuts with strawberry glaze

Yesterday I showed you my inspiration for mini doughnuts. I just had to have a go myself and love how they turned out. I will definitely be making some more batches for my Winter Woodland dessert table and to give as gifts.

Gluten free vanilla donuts (makes 24 mini doughnuts)

Ingredients

• 110g (1 cup) gluten free flour
• 1 tsp xantham gum
• 115g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk
• Non-stick cooking spray

What you will need

• Mini doughnut pan

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160 deg C, fan assisted (370 deg F)
2. Lightly spray doughnut pan with non stick cooking spray
3. In a bowl beat the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla essence and oil together until you get a foamy mixture
4. In a separate bowl, add the sieved dry ingredients to the sugar and mix.
5. Gradually pour foamy mixture into dry ingredients and stir until mixture is combined
6. Pour mixture into greased doughnut pan until each cavity is half full (I prefer to use a piping bag to fill each cup more evenly and cleanly)
7. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 mins or until doughnut springs back when lightly pressed
8. Turn out onto baking rack and leave to cool

Strawberry Glaze
Ingredients

• 60g (1/2 cup) icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
• 1 tablespoon blended strawberries, sieved
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking instructions

1. In a bowl add the sieved icing sugar to the blended strawberries and vanilla essence
2. Whisk all of the ingredients together until you have a smooth paste
3. Pour into a small, shallow bowl

Decorating the mini doughnuts
What you will need

• 24 mini doughnuts
• strawberry glaze
• white sprinkles
• pink edible glitter

Decorating instructions

1. Dip doughnut into strawberry glaze, shake off any excess
2. Sprinkle white sprinkles onto icing
3. Sprinkle pink glitter onto icing
4. Leave to set

I packaged mine in mini floral printed paper bags and sealed them with pink & white stripe Washi tape.




Have a sweet day!
