Gluten Free Baked Coconut Donuts Food

GLUTEN-FREE BAKED COCONUT DONUTS

Steps:

• Raspberry-Coconut Confectioners'-Sugar Glaze:Whisk together confectioners' sugar, coconut oil, freeze-dried raspberries, and salt. Whisk in coconut milk until mixture is smooth and thick, and has the texture of pourable honey. Glaze can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; stir until smooth before using. (Makes 1 1/2 cups.)
• Donuts:Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with oil. Whisk together almond flour, cornmeal, coconut, baking powder, and salt. Beat oil with sugar on medium-high speed until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture and milk.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe about 3 tablespoons into each cup of pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 9 minutes (1 to 2 minutes less, if pan isn't full). Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool completely.
• Dip top of each donut in glaze until halfway submerged, turning as needed to evenly coat one side, then place, glaze-side up, on racks. Sprinkle each with a pinch of coconut and a pinch of freeze-dried raspberries. Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Donuts are best served the day they are made, but can be stored, unglazed, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day; glaze 1 hour before serving.

• Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing with a spatula. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to rest in pan a minute or two and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.
• In a small bowl, blend together the coconut oil, cocoa, 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water, sugar and vanilla. Stir until smooth adding in additional water as needed. Place the cooling rack with donuts on a cookie sheet and spoon the chocolate glaze over the donuts allowing the glaze to drip down sides. Immediately top with topping of choice; i.e., peanuts, coconut or nonpareils. Enjoy!
