INGREDIENTS
(links below are the gluten free/celiac safe products used in this recipe)
DONUTS
⅓ cup melted refined coconut oil
1 large egg
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 box Gluten-free Vanilla Cake Mix
FROSTING
1 tbsp melted refined coconut oil
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
½ Color Kitchen Color packet
1 Color Kitchen Rainbow Sprinkles packet
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and almond milk until well combined. Add the cake mix and stir just until combined.
Pour batter into a piping bag or large ziplock bag. Pipe the batter into the donut pan so each cavity is filled ¾ of the way full. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until donuts bounce back when touched. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Once the donuts have cooled, in a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. If the glaze is too thick add more almond milk until you get a nice pourable consistency, but not too runny. Stir in food coloring until well blended.
Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and set back on a cooling rack. Add sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.
