This newly gluten-free girl has a new-found favorite alternative flour: coconut flour! It's fabulous. It's fluffy, flavorful, and is a one step flour (no additional flours needed to mix with it). Below are my two new favorites that are keepers in my cookbook.
Baked Mini Gluten-Free Vanilla Cardamon Cake Donuts courtesy this website.
I didn't have a donut maker, so I rolled this dough in little balls and baked them for 10 min at 350 degrees in a muffin tin. They were fantastic. We couldn't even tell they were "gluten-free & healthy". The consistency was so cake-like and we loved the cardamon flavor of these. I used coconut sugar in place of regular sugar and it provided plenty of sweetness.
prep-time: 5 minutes
bake-time: about 2-3 minutes per round of mini’s in donut maker *if in oven, we would say 10-13 minutes
makes: 8-10 mini donuts
Ingredients:
Directions:
In a bowl place all dry ingredients into bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
Next grab your coconut sugar (or sugar of choice), coconut oil and egg and whisk together in mixing bowl. Once that is all mixed together add in your dry ingredients. Begin to stir the donut batter.
End with adding in your warm water to the batter if needed. Stir till smooth and combined. You are looking for a not to thick, easy to work with batter.
Pre-heat your mini donut maker. once your green light turns off it is ready. begin to scoop your donut batter into each mini donut ring. we used a cookie scooper to help with the scooping.
once all rings are filled close the donut maker and let bake for 2-3 minutes. check and see if they feel done. if so remove carefully with a knife. repeat process till all our donut batter has been baked.
remove donuts from pan with a knife. then very lightly coat each donut in coconut oil and toss in cinnamon cardamom sugar.
Cinnamon Cardamom Sugar:
Enjoy!
*if you do not have a mini donut maker – you must go get one. haha seriously it is fun to bake donuts with and pretty easy too. but if you do not have the maker you can still make these donuts in a regular donut pan. and bake for about 10-13 minutes. also if you do not have any donut pans then you can make these as mini or regular cupcakes.

These little cookies are totally yummy. To make them sugar free, check out shaving a bar of stevia sweetened chocolate bar.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dark chocolate - shaved or chopped
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ripe bananas
4 tablespoons coconut oil
2 eggs
pinch of salt
Heat oven to 350 F/180 C and line a baking tray with some baking paper, or grease with some coconut oil/butter.
Mash up banana and use a sharp knife to shred some dark chocolate.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl
Use a spoon to make small balls and place on baking tray. Then with a fork press down.
I like them quite chunky, so I didn’t squash to low.
Place in oven and cook for approx 20 minutes or until golden.
