Gluten Free Baked Banana Doughnuts

I love doughnuts more than I care to admit. I first discovered this when I visited Japan. I was introduced to the iconic Mr.Donut shop and fell in love. I don't think I lived before I had one of their doughnuts. They are made fresh, indescribably tasty, and have many unique flavours. I went to Mr.Donut many times and even got a Mr.Donut club membership card while I was there! I considered bringing a box of doughnuts home with me but my suitcase got too full.

Obviously, I was ecstatic when I won a doughnut pan giveaway from See Jac Run. I have been wishing for a doughnut pan for ages! Thanks Jackie!

I decided to bake some special gluten free doughnuts for my mom as a late Mother's Day treat. My mom used to make Slovak fried doughnuts when I was a kid but not since her gluten intolerance developed. Homemade doughnuts are absolutely delicious if you've never had them you should.

Vegan gluten free doughnuts. That's not something
you can find in a coffe shop now is it?

These doughnuts are incredible. They have a great chewy texture like a yeast doughnut but a bit denser than a cake doughnut. I love them, you would never guess that they are both gluten free and vegan.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean and the tops are slightly browned (*Note I had to bake mine for almost 30 minutes but I think it might have been because of my oven)
Pop doughnuts out of pan. Dip in melted coconut oil and then toss with cinnamon sugar.

Yummy

If you don't have a doughnut pan you could use a muffin pan. I made mini muffins baked for about 10 minutes with some leftover batter and they turned out great.
