Blueberry Donuts (Gluten Free)

And we have a winner! We found a donut recipe that Hanna can have! A friend had posted on FaceBook about some gluten free donuts she had made so I asked her for the recipe. I had to tweek it a little because Hanna can't have rice flour. The recipe is for blueberry donuts but Hanna wanted to try strawberry. I am going to play with the recipe and try to make pumpkin spice donuts soon too. I had a hard time finding the donut pans. I finally found them at Michaels and they were even on sale.
Blueberry Donuts (Gluten Free)
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup sorghum flour or rice flour
1/3 cup garbanzo and lava bean flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup arrow root
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
2 eggs or 1/3 cup of apple sauce
1/4 cup vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
1/2 cup hot water
1/3 cup of blueberries mixed with 1 Tbl. sugar and mashed or 1/3 cup blueberry jam

Preheat to 325
need 2 six mold donut trays greased
Mix all ingredients except blueberries
Stir blueberries in at end-just swirling it
Drop 2 1/2 Tbl. of batter into each mold and spread out
Bake 16 min.
Let cool for 5 min before removing from pan
Lightly brush top of donut with water then turn upside down in a bowl of sugar to coat the top.

* For Chocolate Chip Donut leave out the jam and add chocolate chips instead. For Hanna I use carob chips. This is her new favorite donuts.
