Mini Pina Colada doughnut nests

Tiny pina colada doughnut nest

To go with my Turkish Delight mini nests I also made some mini Pina Colada inspired doughnut nests, a pineapple doughnut with a pineapple glaze sprinkled in desiccated coconut. I plan to package them up in my decorated egg boxes.



Gluten free Pina Colada doughnuts (makes 24 mini doughnuts)

Ingredients
  • 110g (1 cup) gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp xantham gum

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • Non-stick cooking spray

What you will need

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. Stir in chopped pineapple, till well combined
  7. Pour mixture into greased doughnut pan until each cavity is 3/4 full (I prefer to use a piping bag to fill each cup more evenly and cleanly)
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 mins or until doughnut springs back when lightly pressed
  9. Turn out onto baking rack and leave to cool
