Ingredients
  • coconut oil spray
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (for dairy-free use canned full-fat coconut milk)

  • 6 Tbs butter (melted; or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 cup TH Baking Blend
  • 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder

  • 1/2 cup TH Gentle Sweet (or 1/4 cup TH Super Sweet Blend)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F if you are baking the donuts. Lightly coat a donut form with coconut oil cooking spray. If using an electric donut maker, consult the manufacturer’s instructions for preheating and grease well.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, vanilla, water, and ¼ cup melted butter. Add the Baking Blend, baking powder, salt, and Gentle Sweet and stir to combine.
  3. 3
    Pour the batter into the prepared donut form and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden on top. Or, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cooking the donuts in an electric donut maker; usually the donuts cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until brown.
