Gluten Free Blueberry Donuts


One of the top recipes that is always requested from family and friends would definitely be donuts!  I mean, who doesn't love a good donut?  This is the first gluten-free donut that I have tried and it didn't disappoint.  My other donut recipes are all paleo but miss the mark just a little on the texture.  This blueberry donut with the lemon glaze certainly delivers on the cake like texture.  I substituted the white sugar with the swerve sugar product but I know coconut sugar would work great too, even though it would change the color slightly.  These freeze well so double the recipe to enjoy again later!




Ingredients:

 For the Donuts:
  • 1 cup gluten free flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar (coconut or swerve works well)
  • 1 tsp gluten free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free milk plus 1 tsp white vinegar mixed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup oil of choice
  • zest from 1 medium lemon
  • 1/2 cup blueberries

For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered Swerve sugar 
  • 2 Tbs  dairy free milk


Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.  Grease a six serving donut pan, set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. Add buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, oil and lemon zest. Mix until combined.
  4. Fold in blueberries.
  5. Batter will be thick.  Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling about 1/2 full.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the donuts rise and set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for five minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the donuts from the pan.
  9. Cool on a wire wrack for another 5 minutes.
  10. For the glaze, combine the powdered swerve and milk in a small mixing bowl.  Heat, covered in the microwave for 30 seconds.  Remove from the microwave and stir together until all the sugar lumps are dissolved.  If desired, add a tablespoon of fresh lemon zest.  
  11. One at a time, dip the tops of your donuts into the glaze.  
  12. Place your donut back on the rack and repeat until all donuts have been dipped.
  13. Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
