Weekend Done Right
Weekends are all about having fun and relaxing. What better way to turn any weekend into a celebration than with homemade donuts? Especially Gluten Free Orange Cranberry Donuts with White Chocolate Glaze. If you follow me, you know I have a love for homemade donuts. I’ve made many different variations including Gluten Free Peaches and Cream Donuts with Collagen.
My favorite part of making donuts at home, aside from not having to get dressed to go out and get them, is having complete control over the ingredients. When I bite into these donuts I know each crumb will burst with pure cranberry flavor.
For this recipe I am using Amoretti Cranberry Artisan Flavor. This flavor is naturally sweetened and flavored and free of artificial ingredients. It perfectly captures the cravable tang and tart burst of cranberries, making these sweet donuts refreshing.
Amoretti makes over 3,000 products, from natural flavorings to nut flours. They have something for all of your baking needs.
In addition to the cranberry flavor, these donuts also get a sweet bright pop of flavor from orange zest. There’s something magical about the flavor and smell of orange zest and the way to oils released bake into everything.
Baking Your Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Donuts with White Chocolate Glaze
These donuts bake up faster than it takes you to get dressed, drive to your local donut shop, and get home. With just a few easy tips you’ll be hanging your own Hot Donuts sign.
First, you are going to need a donut pan to make this recipe. Trust me when I say you will find yourself using it all the time. With one simple kitchen tool you will have fun experimenting with flavors and baking up Gluten Free and Dairy Free donuts you can be proud to serve your family.
For these donuts we’re mixing the wet ingredients first. The melted Dairy Free butter, and sugar get mixed before adding the Dairy Free unsweetened yogurt, egg, cranberry flavoring, and orange zest.
When you go to add the dry ingredients, you’re going to mix until everything is just combined. With most baked goods, it’s all about not overmixing. You want that tender bite.
From there you just have to evenly divide your batter between the donut pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. I promised you this didn’t take long!
For a final flourish, these are dipped in Dairy Free melted white chocolate glaze that includes oat milk and powdered sugar for that ultimate sweet hug. If you’re feeling fancy and want a little extra texture add a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
