Notes: For the gluten-free flour, I recommend the following: 1 cup (120g)
millet flour, ½ cup (60g)
brown rice flour, ½ cup (60g)
tapioca flour, and 1 ½ teaspoons
xanthan gum. Most store-bought blends will work as well, if measured
like this.
Whole wheat pastry flour, regular whole wheat flour, or all-purpose flour may be substituted for the white whole wheat flour.
I highly recommend using the vanilla stevia! It’s my favorite sweetener, and you’ll use it in all of
these recipes of mine, too. (I buy it online
here because that's the cheapest price I've found!) If you prefer not to use the vanilla stevia in the donut batter, 8-12 tablespoons of
pure maple syrup,
honey, or
agave may be substituted. If using this substitution, reduce the cashew milk to ¼ cup (60mL) in the batter. The baking time may change. If you prefer not to use the vanilla stevia in the glaze, 2 tablespoons of
pure maple syrup,
honey, or
agave may be substituted. If using this substitution, reduce the cashew milk to 1 ½ tablespoons (22mL) in the glaze.
You’ll need about 2 large bananas to equal 1 cup of mashed banana. However, measure by cups or weight—NOT by bananas! Not all “large” bananas are the exact same size, so measuring by cups or weight will guarantee the correct result.
Any milk may be substituted in place of the unsweetened cashew milk.
These are the donut pans that I use! They’re made of silicone and a little flimsy, so I just set them on top of a large cookie sheet to bake.
When dipping in the glaze, I put the glaze on the side of the donut that was touching the donut pan (so the bottoms!). It’s typically smoother than the top side, so the glaze looks a little prettier!
If you prefer, this recipe will yield 12 standard sized donuts. The baking temperature remains the same. Begin checking on them after about 18 minutes. The donuts will be done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops feel firm to the touch.
Don’t own a mini or standard-sized donut pan? Not to worry! You can use
mini muffin pans (you’ll get 28 mini muffins) or a standard-sized muffin pan (you’ll get 12 muffins).
