Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sorghum flour
  • 1/2 cup potato starch
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup Spiced Apple Cider i.e. Trader Joes brand
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil plus extra for greasing the donut pan.
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Granulated sugar for sprinkling on top of doughnuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Grease a 6-count standard doughnut pan with avocado oil and set aside.
  • Combine the sorghum flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well with a fork until well combined.
  • Add the apple cider, almond milk, avocado oil, and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir well with a fork or whisk, until allthe ingredients are well combined. The batter will be somewhat thick.
  • Spoon the batter in to greased doughnut pan, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until baked through and light golden brown on top.
  • Allow doughnuts to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from pan. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Ingredient Swaps
  • Use a gluten free flour blend without xanthan gum in place of the sorghum/tapioca/coconut flours.
  • Use any plain, unsweetened plant-based milk in place of the almond milk.
  • Use plain apple cider if you don't have spiced cider. Feel free to add additional spices such as nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
  • Coconut oil tastes delicious in these donuts-try it in place of the avocado oil if you're not concerned about saturated fat.
