I modified this easy donut recipe from http://www.allerygrocer.com/ (awesome site btw!). This was honestly so easy that I am ashamed I hadn't tried it sooner..."Hypoallergenic Donut Recipe"
1 Cup Quinoa flour
1/2 Cup tapioca flour or starch
---you could easily substitute these flours for your own favorite GFflour mixture---
1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum OR guar gum
2 tsp GF baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 Cup water---or your favorite milk substitute
2 Tbsp safflower oil---or your favorite
1/2 tsp GF vanilla
1 jar Gerber chicken baby food (I called the company and the Chicken and gravy is GFCF---note it does have cornstarch...you could just as easily sub a fruit or veggie puree!)
*I simply placed canola oil in a soup pan and put the temperature on med-high...
*I let it heat while I was preparing the batter (combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients seperately and then mix together).
*I took my Pampered Chef scooper and plopped little balls into the oil cooking each side about 1 1/2 mins
*I cooled them on a paper towel and then put them into a ziplock bag with powdered sugar (you can make this at home by putting sugar in your food processor for several minutes...for those who cannot have corn as every brand of purchased powder sugar has cornstarch in it)*Let the kiddos shake them up.
I bet pureed blueberries or apples with cinnamon would be great in these too! Even the mermaid liked them!! Jay-bob actually ate the WHOLE thing...not just around the donut hole! Hope you enjoy!! I will be posting my "mini-pizza" and "elimination pancakes" soon...
