Gluten Free/Dairy Free Baked Donuts

1/4 cup melted extra virgin coconut oil (measured melted)
1/4 cup Stevia in the Raw
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
3/4 tsp baking powder
pinch baking soda
1/4 tsp Zanthum gum
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups Bob's Redmill All Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour
1/2 cup Almond Milk

Toppings:
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
or
Powdered Sugar thinned with almond milk to create glaze

In gluten-free baking, it is important for all of the ingredients to be at room temperature, including the milk and eggs.

Preheat the oven to 425. Grease one standard donut pan. Beat the melted coconut oil, brown sugar and stevia with a whisk until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and wish thoroughly.

Mix the dry ingredients to combine (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and zanthum gum).

Add the flour mixture alternatively with the milk. Whisk to combine. Pour the mixture evenly into the donut pan. Bake until brown. Turn out onto a wire rack.

For cinnamon sugar: lightly brush the donuts (one at a time) with melted coconut oil and roll in cinnamon sugar.

For glazed: roll the top (pretty) side of the donuts in the glaze. Allow to cool 1 minute for the glaze to set.

Best eaten warm.
