Ingredients

  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable/canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon (or more) lemon juice
  • 1 cup oat flour blend (GF)
  • 2 cups quinoa flour
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (GF)
  • 1 cup milk

Coating

For the icing:

  • About 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Water (as needed for the icing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • Sprinkles of your choice (optional)

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

  • 1 stick of melted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or more if you like)
  • Butter at room temperature to coat the donut pan
  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add a pinch of salt.
  2. Whisk the eggs for a few minutes, then add sugar.
  3. Whisk more and add oil, then lemon juice.
  4. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Add oat flour, quinoa flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Mix in between the flours.
  6. Switch the whisk to a wooden spoon as the batter gets heavier.
  7. Mix with the spoon until everything has been incorporated.
  8. Add milk and mix it well.
  9. The batter gets lighter and pourable.
  10. Use a spoon or an ice cream scooper to fill up a donut pan. Make sure you coat the donut pan very well with room temperature butter.
  11. Spread the batter well in the donut pan. You can even use your fingers to do so.
  12. Place the pan in a 375ยฐ preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven (more or less).
  13. Meanwhile, prepare the icing.
  14. Sift the powdered sugar in a bowl.
  15. Add vanilla powder.
  16. Add water little by little until you get the right consistency (pourable icing), then set aside.
  17. In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and the cinnamon to make cinnamon sugar coating. Set aside.
  18. Once the donuts are fully baked, take one at a time from the pan and dip it in the icing, if that is what you chose for coating. Garnish with sprinkles of your choice.
  19. If you are using the cinnamon sugar for coating, then dip one donut at a time in melted butter, then immediately place it in the bowl of cinnamon sugar. Make sure it is coated on every side.
  20. Enjoy!
