I had to give up donuts years ago because of all of the sugar and bakeries around here don't make gluten free ones.
Turns out they are pretty easy to make yourself. I found a donut recipe on the King Arthur website and modified it a bit.
For me, these are a pretty good substitute for a real donut.
2 tablespoons (57g) butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 + 1/3 cup (320g) King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, soften the butter. Stir in the applesauce and coconut sugar. Add the egg and mix. Stir in the vanilla extract and coconut milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten free flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Add to the butter mixture and stir.
Stir in the blueberries.
Scoop into the donut pan.
Bake for 20 - 22 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and remove from donut pan.
Eat them as is, frosten or add a glaze of choice.
The King Arthur website has a few glaze recipes here.
