Ingredients
Donuts
  • ½ cup brown rice flour
  • ½ cup gluten free all purpose white flour
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 T oil (I used avocado)
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp guar gum or xanthan gum
Coconut Cream Peppermint Frosting
  • 1 cup coconut cream (canned and refrigerated overnight)
  • 3 T powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp peppermint oil
  • crushed candy canes
Instructions
Donuts
  1. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into donut pan and bake 350 for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean in the center. Allow donuts to cool on a wire rack.
Frosting
  1. Use a hand mixer to whip chilled coconut cream, powdered sugar and peppermint oil until fluffy (about 5 minutes)
  2. Spread cream on cooled donuts and sprinkle with crushed peppermint. Enjoy!
Notes
Notes: Keep extra cream refrigerated for up to 5 days. If you will be serving the donuts at a later time, keep frosted donuts refrigerated and wait to sprinkle with peppermint candy or else the candy will bleed. The donuts alone freeze extremely well.
