Ingredients

Blueberry Cinnamon Cake Donuts

  • ½ cup sorghum flour
  • 1 cup almond flour/meal
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 cup sucanat*
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil cooled
  • 1 cup frozen wild blueberries

Glaze and Blueberry "Sprinkles"

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 6-cavity nonstick donut pan with cooking spray (if you have two pans, even better!).
  • In a small bowl, whisk almond milk and lemon juice together. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sucanat, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. When almond milk mixture is ready, in a medium bowl, whisk eggs, coconut oil, and almond milk mixture. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until combined. Fold in frozen blueberries.
  • Spoon batter into donut cavities, filling ¾ of the way full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until donuts start to turn golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow donuts to cool in pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them out and let them cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
  • When the donuts are cool, mix together powdered sugar and almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached), and drizzle glaze over donuts. For blueberry sprinkles, place dried blueberries in a plastic baggy and crush with a rolling pin or your fingers. Sprinkle atop donuts desired amount.

Notes

Adapted from Silvana Nardone.
*Sucanat can be found at health food stores or online at Amazon.com. Coconut sugar would work well as a substitute.
*You can make your own unrefined powdered sugar by blitzing your unrefined sugar of choice in a blender or food processor until powdery.
