The other afternoon, I was randomly craving powdered sugar donuts. I just popped in the kitchen and threw some things together, creating these sweet treats.
These donuts are soft, tender, sweet, and pretty darn tasty. These would make a great breakfast, snack, or dessert. They are easy enough to make with your kiddos, and I'm sure that they'll love these. Talk about a fun and delicious after-school treat.
How Long Will the Donuts Keep?
One of the cons about most gluten free baked goods is that they tend to not stay as fresh as long as traditional ones. So, I recommend eating these within a day or two. The powdered sugar will absorb into the donut, so it's best to toss them in the powdered sugar right before you're ready to eat or serve them.
Although, I don't think you'll have to worry about them sticking around too long. They disappeared quickly in my house.
Steps to Make Powdered Sugar Donuts:
1. Mix together dry ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
3. Incorporate the wet into the dry, let the batter sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
4. Pipe into greased donut pans. I used both mini and regular sized.
5. Bake for 7-12 minutes, depending on size, or until cooked and golden brown.
6. Place donuts on cooling rack.
7. Toss in powdered sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes:
* As far as store-bought Gluten Free Flours go, I really love the King Arthur "Measure for Measure" Flour.
- These can be stored in an airtight container for a day or so. I recommend eating them immediately. Toss in powdered sugar right before serving or diving in to these treats.
- I always make my own oat flour by throwing GF oats in a blender and processing it until its ground into flour. It's easy peasy and cheaper than buying it from the grocery store.
With love & buttercream,
