Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Doughnut holes

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Doughnut Holes

No shame. I probably have downed 12 of these bad boys since I came up with that title. Sorry not sorry. These apple cinnamon doughnut holes are everything fall was made of and I am so ready to go and pick some more apples.

This recipe for apple cinnamon doughnut holes literally was a complete happy accident. It is my recipe for some apple cinnamon doughnuts that I make quite often around this time of year. BUT… Some absent minded crazy person (mostly me) couldn’t find her doughnut pan…

I literally panicked! How can you make the ever famous (between two people) apple cinnamon doughnuts without a doughnut pan? You search for a mini muffin tin that looks similar to doughnut holes and you make apple cinnamon doughnut holes. I seriously saved the day (and my mind) that day. Every since then, my mom and I have preferred them this way. They are easy to grab and easy to pop in your mouth.

I am literally so happy to say that these apple cinnamon doughnuts holes are also baked and not fried (even though we all know fried foods taste way better…). So you know that as a general consensus we feel almost no guilt eating them… I mean I am going to tell myself that anyways.  

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Doughnut Holes

3 cups Brown Rice Flour
1 1/3 cup Tapioca Starch
2 tsp Xantham Gum
4 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil
2 eggs 
3/4 cup Almond milk with 1/2 tsp Lemon juice (or 1/2 cup Buttermilk)
1 cup Applesauce
1 1/2 cup Chopped apples

Topping
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xantham gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. In the bottom of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl mix together coconut oil, eggs, almond milk mixture and applesauce. Slowly mix in your dry mixture  until well incorporated. Stir in your chopped apples.

Place batter into a large Ziploc baggy and snip the corner or piping bag. If you can find your doughnut pan (opps), pipe batter into doughnut wells. If you want a doughnut hole effect, use a mini muffin pan. Fill the wells almost to the top. When they bake they puff up almost like a doughnut hole. Bake doughnuts for 12-14 minutes or until they spring back when poked. For the doughnut holes, bake them 9-11 minutes again until they spring back at you.

While hot, take out of pans and shake in baggy with cinnamon sugar mix. Finish cooling on parchment paper. DONE!

Serve warm with coffee, milk, juice, chai tea… etc. I mean the list could go on. You could serve with more doughnut holes or doughnuts. OR eat them all… the choice is really yours.

My life was forever changed!

I was probably crying after I couldn’t find that doughnut pan that day, but now my stomach is crying tears of joy because they are so delicious! They have the consistency of a moist coffee cake that will literally melt in your mouth.

I love to dip these apple cinnamon doughnut holes into my coffee and my beagle dog likes to lick up the crumbs that fall. We have a deal, I eat all the yummy food and anything from my knee down is hers. She makes everyone think I have clean floors in my apartment but really she just eats all the food that falls.

We have a good relationship.

On another note, I think we had an 85 degree weather day the other day as opposed to 90 degrees. I mean at least we are not going up, right? I am beyond ready for fall and cute fall clothes, leaves falling and boots! I need it! This Florida girl moved for seasons not to bring the weather with her.

Deliciously,
Gabby

Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts

Happy Hump Day! Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

I am just going to say this now: I am not sorry that I am obsessed with fall too early! Being from a place that doesn’t have fall (Florida) I will enjoy every last minute of it! Probably my favorite flavor is cinnamon sugar and I feel like I crave it most around this time of year. So, naturally I was craving this the other night after dinner for a little morsel of something sweet. I decided to get my flour out and start baking right there and these gluten free cinnamon sugar doughnuts were born! 

Now, I know what your thinking these are devilish! You would be right! But the bright side is that they are dairy free and gluten free! I mean that probably cancels out the fact that they are too yummy to not just have one right? Most doughnuts I cannot eat more than one because they are just too filling and sweet but these babies are just so yummy I cannot have just one! I also had to share because I know there are people out there like me who love cake doughnuts.
