Notes
*You can also use other flour substitutes (oat, coconut, whole wheat flour) in this recipe, as well as use more mochiko flour to increase chewiness. Be sure to refer to my Mochi Donut Experiment to read how the results differ!
**I used dehydrated honey (honey powder) for this recipe, but coconut, date and maple sugars are less processed granulated sugars I would also recommend. Please do note that these 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.
