Description
Gluten-Free Glazed Donut Holes can be baked or fried and contains a boost of protein from OWYN!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbs. butter or non-dairy alternative (I use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or unrefined coconut palm sugar
- 1/3 cup mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg OR 1 Tbs. flaxseed meal steeped in 3 Tbs. warm water
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract or paste
- 2 cups 270 grams gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 6 Tbs. OWYN protein drink: coffee (vanilla or chocolate flavor (or milk of choice))
- high heat vegetable or peanut oil (if frying)
Instructions
GLAZE
- cups sifted confectioner’s sugar
- tsp. vanilla paste or extract
- tsp. OWYN protein drink: coffee, vanilla or chocolate flavor (or milk of choice)
PREP
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add banana or applesauce, egg or flax egg plus vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- Sift together dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then slowly stir them into the liquids, adding
- OWYN or milk last, and beating until there are no lumps.
TO BAKE DONUT HOLES:
- Preheat oven to 325° F (or 300°F convection).coop a tablespoon-sized amount of dough out and roll on
- a clean counter or mat lightly dusted with gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.
- Place rolled donut holes onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness (when inserted
- toothpick comes out clean, donut holes are fully cooked).
- Remove to cool on wire racks for 5 minutes, then gently roll in confectioner’s sugar or sugar and
- cinnamon mixture, or allow to fully cool, then dip in glaze.
TO FRY DONUT HOLES:
- Prepare a small pot by filling at least 1 1/2 inches deep with oil. Heat to medium (no more than
- °F); ideal doughnut fry oil temperature is 325-350°F.
- *Note: a deep fry or thermometer is super helpful to ensure the oil reaches and stays at the right
- temperature. If the oil is too hot, the doughnut holes will burn on the outside and remain
- uncooked on the inside.
- Once the oil has reached 325-350°F, using a small, wet cookie dough scoop or
- tablespoon measure, carefully drop doughnut dough into the hot oil, boil and flip as necessary
- to cook until lightly browned on all sides – approximately 4 minutes total.
- Once cooked, immediately remove with a skimmer or slotted spoon to a plate covered with
- paper towels to absorb any excess oil. (I recommend starting with just one doughnut hole and
- cutting it open after 4 minutes to be sure it has cooked through and not over-cooked, so you
- know exactly how long to leave the doughnuts in your hot oil.)
- Remove to finish cooling and repeat with remaining dough.
TO MAKE THE GLAZE:
- Sift confectioner’s sugar into a bowl, and stir in vanilla paste or extract, plus OWYN or milk. Use
- a whisk to incorporate the liquid, checking to see that it is not so thick that it can’t be drizzled,
- but not so thin that it rolls right off the donut holes.
- If the glaze is too thick, simply add another tablespoon of OWYN or milk; if too thin, add 1/4 cup
- confectioner’s sugar. Repeat as necessary until glaze is the right consistency.
- Swirl each donut hole in the glaze bowl and return to the parchment-lined baking sheets to set.
NOTES
- Using banana produces a strongly banana-flavored donut which is quite tasty … unless you
- don’t like bananas! In that case, use applesauce for a milder flavored donut.
