Ingredients

1/3 cup liquified refined coconut oil (just warm it gently to liquify it)
1 cup vegan sugar
3/4 cup rice flour (brown or white)
1/3 cup garbanzo / fava bean flour blend
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup arrowroot
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce (this is exactly one of the individual portions that you can buy in the little cups)
1/4 cup vanilla extract (yes, you read that right – 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup hot water

Directions

Either plug in your electric doughnut maker, or preheat your oven to 325. Brush the doughnut maker or your doughnut pans with coconut oil or spray with non-stick spray.

Mix all the dry ingredients together until thoroughly blended. Then add the liquid ingredients and the applesauce, and fold in and stir gently until just mixed (like you would for pancakes).

If baking in the oven, in a regular-sized doughnut pan, put 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter in each doughnut mold. If using an electric mini-donut baker, fill according to directions.

Baking in an oven in full-sized pans will take about 15 minutes (you may want to rotate the pan half-way through). If cooking in an electric mini-doughnut maker, follow the manufacturer’s directions (but ours took about 3 minutes).

When done, remove from pan and toss in cinnamon/sugar mixture, or ice with favourite icing, or just eat plain! Yum!
