Notes

  1. It is critical to use certified gluten free oats if you are Celiac. Cross-contamination runs high in regular oats.
  2. I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarse and will make your donuts grainy.
  3. Other dairy-free kinds of milk will work but I do not recommend canned coconut milk.
  4. If you want your muffins to have a domed style top, bake at 425º F for the first 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350.
  5. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the muffins need to bake longer.
  6. These muffins will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

    Can I use a coconut or plan gluten free flour instead of nut flour?

      Hi Linda, you can easily substitute more gluten free flour. Coconut flour won't work because it needs a lot more liquid than regular gluten free flour. I would add 1/2 cup of gluten free flour in place of the nut flour and see what the consistency looks like. If it is too runny, add 1/4 cup more.
