Donut Worry, Be Happy (Gluten-Free Donuts)

June 5, 2015

So today is conveniently Flashback Friday and National Donut day. Yes, National Donut Day is a real day and yes it is the greatest day on earth. So I thought today would be a perfect opportunity to dig up a post from my old blog and move it on and over here! Tah-dah! I bring you, tea infused gluten free donuts…Gluten free donuts | Teacups & ThingsTarget donut coffee mug | Teacups & Things

 
One of the biggest problems about going gluten free is not being able to enjoy a donut with your coffee. Seriously, if you have  a sweet tooth like I do it’s pure torture, especially when you’re out and about and at a coffee & donut shop. Donuts are becoming the next big thing in the baking world and I’ve always wanted to try making some gluten free ones. My mom got me a donut tray for Christmas and I finally was able to put it to good use!
 
It’s no secret that I love tea too. I really wanted to try something different with my donuts (go big or go home right?!) so I decided to infuse them with tea! I used DAVIDsTEA’s Strawberry Shortcake tea but this recipe would seriously work with anything, even matcha. I’m either going to try it with their Coco Chai Rooibos tea next or Matcha Matsu.
 
I’m also kind of obsessed with this donut love mug from Target. How cute is it?! I think it’s from their Valentine’s collection, so I’m not sure if it’s still available.
 
I also created this recipe as a part of a contest that DAVIDsTea is running in collaboration with Snapguide. To see step by step photos and instructions you can go here, otherwise follow the recipe below! (edit: I ended up placing 3rd! Big surprise! A huge thanks to DAVIDsTea & Snapguide for hosting this contest!!)

If you are making this recipe not gluten free, simply use regular flour and do not use the xanthan gum. You could also easily make this recipe vegan friendly by using soy milk and egg substitutes! :) happy tummies all around!

I had content planned to post sooner (like this photo as I’m sure you can clearly tell by the Christmas decorations 😅), but life happened and I ended up taking a break from Instagram for the rest of my holidays which honestly was really nice.

This week was my first week back to work, so I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with my pjs and Ruffi again this weekend.
