Baked Coconut Flour Mochi Donuts
Ingredients
Donut
- ½ cup mochiko flour, sweet rice or glutinous rice flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour see note*
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed coconut milk **
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- ½ cup melted white chocolate chips sugar free works also
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp dried coconut flakes
- 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
Instructions
- Use a whisk to stir all the ingredients together until well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Use a ¼ cup measuring cup or large spoon to portion the batter into a well-greased donut pan (nonstick spray works well). FIll to ¾ full. ***
- Bake in a 350F preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes (about 20-22 minutes for silicone donut pan), or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once the donuts cool completely, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second bursts until melted, stirring in between
- Add 1 tsp of coconut oil (optional) into the melted chocolate. This helps to make a thinner chocolate shell, and also imparts a slight coconut flavor to the chocolate.
- Dip the donuts into the chocolate and then set the donuts (glaze side up) on a clean parchment paper. Before glaze dries, sprinkle hemp seeds and coconut flakes
Notes
*You can also use other flour substitutes (oat, coconut, whole wheat flour) in this recipe. Be sure to refer to my Mochi Donut Experiment to read how the results differ!
**I used sweetened condensed coconut milk here which gives this donut a delicious coconut flavor and subtle sweetness. But dehydrated honey (honey powder), coconut, date and maple sugars are less processed granulated sugars I would also recommend. Please do note that darker sugars do make the donuts look darker. For lower carb options, you can also use sugar-free sweeteners such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia (but you’ll have to convert according to package instructions).
***I used olive oil cooking spray to grease my donut pan. If you don’t have olive oil cooking spray you can use other vegetable oil sprays or melted coconut oil.
