Well I’m back 🙃🙃, a little longer break than expected , but life and work sometimes gets in the way
But lets catch up and at least get one summer bake in for this year
Something you can get the kids involved with too…. ( get your vacuum ready 😜 I have no guilt !!!!)
DONUTS and SPRINKLES whats not to like 😍😍😍😍
But these are a little different , orange, orange and even more orange , now that really does speak of summer to me !!! The Colour alone
Soft , sweet and delicious they will not last long
So we are making donuts and you’ve no pan, especially if in you are in the UK , yes you can get one.
Heres the link. I’m not affiliated with Amazon I’m only small fry so click away I don’t make a penny 😂😂😂
Wilton Doughnut Baking Tin, Non Stick, Large, 6 Hole https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004CYELOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_8RJ06QKRKQ5KTER5ZQMG
These are a healthier alternative than a fried donut , nowhere am I saying these are fried donuts nor am I claiming it, but the taste makes a memorable donut and my preference to the grease laden ones
Though they will give you a sugar hit if you choose to icing and sprinkle them !!!! But hey ho its summer you deserve the treat ( well you deserve a treat anytime but today its August and Sunday 🙈🙈)
So lets get on and get these made , you wont regret it either !!!
recipe
Zesty Orange Baked Donuts GF, DF, V
How Much Orange can you muster , with this summer baked donuts to tickle your taste buds
Ingredients
- 125 g Gluten Free Plain Flour ( If not using your own blend I recommend Dove Farms Free Plain, UK or Pilsbury US )

- 1 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/8 th tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

- 2 tbsp Olive Oil

- 60 mls Dairy Free Milk ( I used Mighty Pea M.lk )
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar .-125 g Icing / Confectioners Sugar
- 2 tbsp Orange juice
- Orange food colouring ( Gluten free and Vegan I used Pro Gel )
- Sprinkles ( Gluten free and vegan ) OPTIONAL……. BUT NOT !!!! ( I used Bake Time Club )
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 160C fan / 180 C Standard / 350 F degrees.
- Grease a small doughnut pan.
- Combining the milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to thicken . Set it aside and let sit for 5 minutes.

- Mix the vegan milk mixture , orange juice, agave /maple syrup, vanilla, , sugar, and olive oil
- Add to the dry ingredients
- Whisk until smooth ( you cant over mix you’ve no gluten but calm your passion no need to go to mad 😜)
- Place in a piping bag or freezer bag as shown below and pipe into the tins, its the easiest way I’ve found. cut the end the size of the diameter of the donut size
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to let cool completely or like me onto a clean tea towel so they dont mark !!!
- Mix the icing sugar and orange juice and dip the donuts to glaze
- Leave to set slightly
- In a shallow bowl choose your sprinkles and then flip you donuts icing side down, press lightly and then place back on a wire rack to cool
- Best eaten on the day of making
- Enjoy
So there you go, all done. For those of you with Children I apologise for the mess, but they will have the time of their lives……… honest. Probably due to the sugar rush.
Now before you go I need to explain why this post is not on a Saturday as usual !!
