Gluten-Free Glazed Mocha Fudge Doughnuts

What is better than coffee with your doughnuts? Coffee in your doughnuts! These are seriously good doughnuts. I feel that I should point out that we don’t eat doughnuts for breakfast. In our house, doughnuts are considered a dessert. With good reason!

I am still having fun with my Sunbeam Donut Maker that I bought last week. Too much fun! Once again I included directions for both the donut maker and my Norpro Donut Pans. The donut maker creates smaller doughnuts, so it makes more then the dough nut pans

Gluten-Free Glazed Mocha Fudge Doughnuts

Yield: 12 – 15 donuts
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 12 – 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup softened butter (I used coconut oil)
1/4 cup  milk (I used almond milk)
1/2 cup coffee

Directions:

If using the oven preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease doughnut pans.

In a medium bowl, mix flours, potato starch, cocoa, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add egg, milk, coffee butter or oil and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed just until mixed.

Fill the donut pans 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes  or until tops are brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Place the donut pans on cooling rack and let the doughnuts cool in the pans.

If using a donut maker, fill the bottom portion until it is just full. Close the lid and cook for 7 minutes or until the donuts are
brown. Remove the doughnuts and allow them to finish cooling on a cooling rack.

Once the doughnuts are cool, spoon glaze over them.
