  • ½ cup gluten free flour blend * see note

  • ½ cup almond flour * see note
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick
  • dash salt
  • Icing sprinkles, etc. (I used Wilton brand)

  • Continue to mix on low speed until blended.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarse and will make your donuts grainy.
  4. These donuts will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
  5. You can bake them in a donut pan. Just add the batter to a greased donut pan and bake at 350º F for 20 minutes until done.
  6. You can easily freeze these donuts. I toss them into a freezer ziplock bag and freeze them. Note they will lose their crispy outsides when freezing. To thaw the donuts, just take them out of the freezer and let them warm to room temperature...though my kids will eat them frozen too!

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
