baked donuts

So easy, simple and yet so yummy! My kids can eat quite a few of these mini donuts in one go.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of rice flour (i've used coconut flour too in the past. You can use all purpose flour as well).
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk (you can use regular milk as well)
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup of maple sugar (you can use regular sugar as well)

TIP: If you use rice or coconut flour you may need to add about 2 tablespoons of water to your mixture to ensure it's the correct consistency.

OPTIONAL: you can add nutmeg (1/4 tsp), cinnamon (1 tsp)

For the glaze:
1/2 cup of icing sugar or coconut sugar
2 tablespoons of water

1) Add all your dry ingredients to a mixing bowl.
2) Make a hole in the middle and add your wet ingredients (milk, eggs, oil).
3) Mix well with a whisk until you get a consistency similar to pancake mixture/ cake batter.

4) Plug in electric donut maker and heat for 5 mins.
2) Once heated, take 1 tablespoon and pour into the mould or use the donut baking trays for the oven. (I use the mini electric donut maker)
TIP: Do not overfill. Fill just below the lip of the mould.

5) Close the lid and bake until golden brown (about 3 mins per batch) or bake in the oven for about 10 mins or until golden brown at 400 degrees F.

6) Open lid and remove from the donut maker/oven and cool for about 5-7 mins.
8) Mix the icing sugar with water and whisk well to make glaze.

9) Dip the face of each donut in the glaze for a few seconds.
These are now ready to melt in your mouth.
OPTIONAL: You can top these with sprinkles or cocoa powder or powdered sugar
