Ingredients
1 cup oat flour, gluten-free
1 cup oats, gluten-free
½ cup white rice flour
1 tsp xantham gum
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 medium apple, cored and grated
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup coconut milk (I used Silk)
Coating
½ cup raw brown sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon
½ cup apple sauce or maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F
In a large mixing bowl, add oat flour, oats, white rice flour, xantham gum, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Once stirred, add grated apples, vanilla extract, maple syrup and coconut milk. Stir to combine but do not over mix.
Transfer batter to a piping bag.
Pipe the batter into each donut mold of your donut tray, ensuring that the batter thoroughly covers the donut area and comes level to the top of the tray.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from tray and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
While donuts are cooling,mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Using a pastry brush, coat each donut with either apple sauce or maple syrup.
Press into the cinnamon sugar mixture, flipping once and ensuring that the donut is well coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place on a cooling tray and allow to set while you finish the rest of the donuts.
