Equipment

Ingredients

  • 200 g gluten-free self raising flour (see FAQ to make plain flour into self raising)
  • 250 ml milk (I use almond milk, see expert tips)
  • 6 tbsp coconut sugar (see FAQ for swaps)
  • 4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C (fan oven)
  • To a mixing bowl add 200g gluten-free self raising flour, 250ml milk, 4 tbsp coconut sugar, 2 tsp of cinnamon and mix until a smooth batter forms
  • Pour your mix into the doughnut moulds (don't overfill see notes below) and bake in the oven for 12-13 minutes
  • Meanwhile in a bowl add 2 tbsp coconut sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon and mix to make your cinnamon sugar
  • Remove the doughnuts from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes
  • Now lightly glaze the smooth side of your doughnuts with milk (helps to make the cinnamon sugar stick) and gently press down into the bowl until covered

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store:Best eaten on the day of baking. They will last a couple days in a sealed container at room temperate. The longer you store them the denser they get (still taste great though).
To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: Try to choose a milk that isn't too thick. I tend Rude Heath almond milk. Certain brands like Alpro are fairly thick and may need extra to get the right consistency
Tip 2: Don't overfill your doughnut moulds! See the step 2 photo above. Make sure to leave around 5mm from the top as they rise.
Tip 3: Use a Silicone Doughnut Mould (affiliate link) as they're really easy to take the doughnuts out once baked.
