Notes
- These gluten-free donuts do not pour as batter into the donut molds. You need to manually portion them with a spoon.
- Likewise, use a silicone spatula to smooth them down and press a little to ensure there are no air pockets in the batter by gently tapping the mold onto the counter, otherwise, they’ll crumble.
- Don’t try to remove the peppermint donuts from the molds until they’re cooler for at least an hour, otherwise they break.
- Use silicone molds for the donuts, a greased donut pan won’t work as you need to bend the mold to get them out.
- Paleo chocolate chips or sprinkles work in place of candy canes if using these for another occasion.
- Don’t frost the donuts until completely cooled, otherwise you’ll have crumbs.
- The nutritional breakdown does not include frosting.
