GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE DONUT HOLES



Gluten-Free Chocolate Donut Holes image

As a Canadian who was recently forced to go gluten-free, there's nothing I miss more than a chocolate Timbit®. However, late one Saturday night, my roommate and I decided to attempt a gluten-free brownie recipe, which ended in a hot mess that tastes exactly like a Timbit®! Don't be discouraged by the strange silly putty-esque texture it has before baking, because it's delicious in the end. Enjoy! Glaze with icing of your choice.

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup margarine (such as Becel®)
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons hot chocolate mix
3 eggs
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon xanthan gum
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon soy milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides of the pan.
  • Blend margarine, sugar, and hot chocolate mix in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat until well combined.
  • Combine flour, salt, xanthan gum, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Pour into butter mixture and combine. Add vanilla extract; mix well. Pour in soy milk and stir well. Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading to all corners.

CHOCOLATE DONUT HOLES

Yield 2-3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the donuts:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Oil, for frying
For the glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Water, as needed

Steps:

  • 1.Prepare the dough: In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the butter and the chocolate together over a pot of barely simmering water. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. 2.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3.Add the buttermilk and vanilla to the melted butter mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is combined. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, wrap it well, and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. 4.In a heavy pot with a candy thermometer attached, heat 3 inches of oil to 360° F. Meanwhile, scoop the dough into 1-tablespoon balls. (A mini ice-cream scoop is a great tool for this.) Roll each ball into a neat circle between the palms of your hands. 5.Use a spider or a slotted spoon to gently the dough balls into the oil, 4 at a time. You can add a few more balls depending on the size of your pot, but don't crowd the pan. Adjust the flame to maintain the temperature between 350° F and 360° F at all times. Cook the dough until puffed and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. (Color isn't a good indicator of doneness, so feel free to open up the first or second doughnut to make sure it's cooked through.) Use a slotted spoon to transfer the donuts to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. 6.Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. The glaze should be about the consistency of heavy cream. Add a little bit of water if necessary. Dip each donut into the glaze. Use a fork to cover each doughnut, then lift it out and tap it against the edge of the bowl to remove excess glaze. Transfer the glazed donuts to a rack set in rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts. Let the donuts stand until the glaze is no longer wet.
