Apple Fritters

11/12/2012

Do you remember those yummy apple fritter donuts from your gluten-eating days? Mmmm. I miss donuts. Let's be honest. I think about them the most (second to cookies that is). Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this (being married to a health doctor and all...) It's just that donuts and cookies hold this special happiness power to them. This next recipe will make you happy! They taste so good you'll forget they're gluten free. ;) Enjoy!

Don't forget our FREE GIVEAWAY ends today and will be announced tomorrow!
Also, if you're in the area we will having our FREE gluten free class in Lehi, Utah tomorrow! Click on the blue for more info.

Gluten Free Apple Fritters

(Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Adapted by jalene

Ingredients:

1/4 cup and 2 Tbsp brown rice flour
1/4 cup sweet white rice flour (you can grind your own from calrose rice)
3 Tbsp tapioca starch
3 Tbsp potato starch
2 Tbsp sugar or evaporated cane juice sugar
1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp almond or rice milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 organic apple, diced
Virgin Coconut Oil or Spectrum Organic Shortening
powdered sugar for dusting, (optional)

Directions:

In a small saucepan heat up about a cm to an inch of coconut oil to 340 degrees F. (Be sure not to allow it to go over 350. I suggest using a digital thermometer to regulate it.)
Combine all of the dry ingredients first: brown rice flour, sweet white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Combine the wet ingredients separately egg, milk, and apple cider vinegar.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Fold in the apples.
For donut (or doughnut) holes, use a cookie scoop to spoon the batter into the preheated oil. (I cooked about 3-4 at a time in my small pan). The temperature of your oil will dry as you add the dough so watch carefully. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown (as pictured). Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack lined with a paper towel.

The donut holes taste great without any coating but you can sprinkle powdered sugar on for looks or glaze them.

GF DF cake-style donut

I did it! Here it is folks. My cake-style donut now made DAIRY-FREE. You're welcome! ;) The not so secret secret ingredient is the nutmeg. It'll take you back to your gluten cake-style donut eating days... Mmmmmm!

Ps- This donut plain isn't super sweet so you can add more sugar if you need... Rolling them in powdered sugar or cinnamon & sugar usually does the trick (as pictured below).

Enjoy!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Cake Donuts

Created by jalene

Ingredients:

3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup milk alternative (I used soy milk)
1/4 cup white rice flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
2 Tbsp oat flour
2 Tbsp sugar or coconut sugar or evaporated cane juice sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F (If you don't have a donut pan you can also fry these in coconut oil. It's just hard to get the shape unless you have a donut dispensing thingy.)
2. In a 1 cup or larger measuring cup add the apple cider vinegar. Then add the milk sub to make 2/3rds cup. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes.
3. Mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside.
4. Mix all the wet ingredients together (including the milk and vinegar) and combine with dry until just blended.
5. Scoop into the donut pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Allow to cool before adding powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar mixture. (Helpful hint: Stick the donut in a plastic bag with the topping and shake it around. The donuts are so moist they absorb some of the topping after sitting a while so top just before serving.)

Nothing like a doughnut to cheer you up...

So I might be addicted to donuts. I don't know why. Maybe it's the shape? Probably the sugar... and the sheer joy that I get when I eat one! All I've got to say is thank you to the Dutch people that shared this treasure of a treat with America.

I've been playing around with a lot of doughnut recipes lately and this one is definitely one of my favorites. It's not very sweet-it kind of reminds me of the cake-style that come plain, powdered or with cinnamon and sugar. It's not yet Dairy-Free but I'm working on it! DF recipe to come soon.

PS- Is it Donut or Doughnut? BOTH. "Dunkin' Donuts" and "Krispie Kreme Doughnuts" Funny.

Gluten-Free Cake-Style Doughnut

Ingredients:

1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp coconut oil (you can also use olive oil)
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp buttermilk powder
1/4 cup white rice flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 Tbsp oat flour
2 Tbsp coconut sugar (evaporated cane sugar works too)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp xantham gum
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F (If you don't have a donut pan you can also fry these in coconut oil. It's just hard to get the shape unless you have a donut dispensing thingy.)
Mix all the dry ingredients together-set aside.
Mix all the wet ingredients together and combine with dry until just blended.
Scoop into the donut pan and bake for 7-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool before adding powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar mixture. (Helpful hint: Stick the donut in a plastic bag with the topping and shake it around. The donuts are so moist they absorb the topping after a while so top just before serving.)

Mmmm...Banana donuts

Who doesn't miss a good donut when you're living the gluten-free life? K, I know I said that about muffins too but maybe I just have a weakness for baked goods ;)

We made these today actually (mainly because I had some old bananas to use up AND I'm just not ready to make banana bread again AND I wanted to try out my new donut pan I just purchased!)

They are light, fluffy and a great alternative to making banana bread with those old bananas.

Gluten Free Banana Donuts

(Gluten Free, Can Be Dairy Free)
Adapted by jalene

Yields: 10-12 donuts
Ingredients:

2 over-ripe bananas
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk or milk alternative
1 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
1 tsp gluten free vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar (I use evaporated cane sugar or coconut sugar)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp brown rice flour
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp cornstarch (look for a non-GMO one)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray or rub donut pan with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the banana, egg, milk, sugar, vanilla and oil.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fill each donut round with 2 heaping spoonfuls of batter. They will raise when cooking. (Should make 10-12 donuts.)
Bake 7-9 minutes, then cool 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
Cool completely before glazing, if desired.
