Mini doughnuts: Lemon, Spice, Chocolate, Pineapple, Banana, Peach, Pumpkin...

Mini Doughnuts

Kept loosing my recipe cards in the shuffle, so finally added this to my cookbook and posted it for safe keeping.


Lemon Mini Doughnuts

Make them orange by using orange peel and juice instead of lemon. Toss in a few chopped cranberries, blackberries or blueberries if you're in the mood.

Ingredients

1 3/4 c gluten-free flour blend with pectin
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp kosher salt
2 tsp lemon peel
------------------
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c chilled coconut cream
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 c coconut oil
4 tbsps oil
2  eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Frosting:

1 cup (115g) confectioner’s sugar
2 to 4 tsp CF milk
1 tbsp lemon juice

*Instead of frosting, you could whirl granulated sugar in a spice grinder with a tsp of lemon peel for a sugar topping.

1. Put the eggs and sugar in the food processor and slowly add the oils and cream to make a mayonnaise-like emulsion. Add the dry stuff and whirl. Makes a very stable batter.
2. Cook in preheated, oiled babycakes mini doughnut maker. Cool on racks, dip in glaze when cooled or roll in lemon sugar.


Pineapple Mini Doughnuts

These are also good with pureed peaches or apricots. Pears were a bit gummy and bland for our taste.


Ingredients

1 3/4 c gluten-free flour blend with pectin
2 baking powder
¼ tsp kosher salt
------------------
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c oil like rice bran or grapeseed

2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
¾ c crushed pineapple

Frosting:

1 cup (115g) confectioner’s sugar
2 to 4 tsp CF milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
