Calm down, I’m not feeding my two year old son donuts. But he doesn’t know that.
As it turns out, toddlers like eating things in fun new shapes, even if it’s the same batter as every other thing I bake! Ha!
To be fair, it’s not actually the same batter as the other breakfast stuff he eats, but the ingredients aren’t that different (they’re still plenty healthy), so it’s an easy option for me to offer him and a win that he is obsessed. As you’ll soon see, they are super simple.
The batter makes 6 donuts and 4 muffins – so my mini-me and I both have breakfast for a few days! I have this donut pan by the way.
Based on this chocolate recipe by Elana, I made it allergy friendly (and non chocolate) for P.
How pleased is he??
Allergy Friendly Vanilla Donuts [gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free]
- 4 eggs (room temp)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
, melted
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour (I used TJ’s)
- pinch salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix wet ingredients (eggs, oil, vanilla, syrup) in a large bowl and then mix in the rest of the (dry) ingredients. Pour into greased donut/muffin tins (don’t fill the donuts over half way).
Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean.
Store them in the fridge, but I suggest warming them slightly before serving because coconut oil solidifies at cold temperatures.
I’ve been wanting a donut pan lately…too cute!
Hi Elise! Just wanted to let you know I made these for my daughter yesterday and they were a huuuuuuuuuge hit. I added two really ripe bananas to them and she has gobbled up almost half the batch so far. Which is saying a lot because my child is extremely picky. These will definitely become part of our regular baked good rotation. Thanks for the great recipe! And congratulations on your pregnancy and upcoming birth of your baby girl. My daughter is a month younger than your son and I just gave birth to a little boy 6 weeks ago so I know what an exciting time you’re going through right now. Good luck with everything and I cant wait to see pictures of your little lady soon 🙂
CONGRATS TO YOUUUUUU!!!! That’s so fantastic that your daughter liked them…I added bananas to this week’s batch too! It was also a big hit (great minds…). How is life with two? Are you adjusting okay? One of each sex for you as well! Very cool. I’m so excited for our family to grow but definitely aware of the challenges it brings. Still I feel blessed to be a mama again 🙂
So simple to cook and it seems delicious. I love cooking and I will try this recipe, thanks for sharing it with us!
