Gluten free doesn’t have to taste or look …different. It can still be top choice for gluten intollerants or those who just want a lighter version of treats. Mochi flour delivers a unique extra sweetness and ethereal mouthfeel to your baked good. The glaze is also done with another staple of the Hawaiian cuisine : Ube potato powder.
Donuts so sexy, you wont’ be able to resist it.
Donuts batter
- 100 gMochi pancake mix GF (3.5 oz)
- 1/4 teaspoonsalt
- 1/2 cupcoconut milk ( Heaping ~full fat milk)
- 3/4 teaspoonvanilla extract
- 2Large egg yolks
- 1 ouncedark chocolate (melted and lightly cooled)
- 1/3 cupcoconut sugar
- 2 tablespoonscoconut oil
- 2 tablespoonscocoa (dutch processed. )
- 1/4 teaspoonbaking powder
Glaze
- 2 tablespoonsUbe powder (Top Inno brand)
- 2 teaspoonscoconut milk
- 1/2 cuppowdered cane sugar
- 1 teaspoonvanilla extract
Preparation
Pre heat oven to 350 F
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, salt and cocoa) and add the sugar. Set aside.
Melt coconut oil and chocolate in a double boiler, add the extract, set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and coconut milk until mixed, add the chocolate mix and incorporate.
Finally add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Divide the batter equally amongst 8 donut cavities, 4 on each pan. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look like much, they will rise.
Place in warm oven, in the middle rack.
Bake about 25 to 30 minutes until the dough will pull from the sides and springs back when pressed lightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes before unmolding on a cooling rack.
Glaze
Mix all the ingredients for the glaze in a medium size bowl. Make sure it flows well then coat each donut generously . You can re use the drippings if they are clean.
If you need more glaze, repeat these last few steps. I find that if I make a large batch tends to dry too fast and doesn’t flow so well.
Alternatively you could make a triple batch and use the microwave when the glaze gets too thick.
For the chocolate birds I use a mold I found on Amazon and freeze the chocolate inside until it’s time to use it.
