- 1⅓ cup oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon canola oil (can sub vegetable or avocado oil)

- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2-3 teaspoons milk
Easter Toppings

Instructions
Oat Flour Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease the donut pans with cooking spray or a little oil on a brush. (If using 1 pan you will have to bake them in two batches).
- Mix the oat flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl add the milk, egg, sugar, vanilla, and oil and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them together.
- Carefully spoon or use a pastry bag to fill the donut pan ¾ full.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. You can check with a toothpick to see if the center is done baking.
- Allow them to fully cool before adding icing.
Vanilla Icing
- Gently melt the butter so that it is just barely melted.
- Mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, 2 teaspoons of milk together in a small bowl and add the melted butter. Add an additional teaspoon of milk if you need to thin the icing.
Easter Toppings
- Bunny Donut: Dip the donut in the vanilla icing. Add sprinkles and gently set a marshmallow bunny in the center of the donut hole.
- Nest Donut: Dip the donut in the vanilla icing. Sprinkle the coconut on the top and gently press 2 mini Cadbury eggs onto the side of the donut.
- Chocolate Candy Donut: Use a knife to carefully chop up a few different colors of the Cadbury mini eggs. Dip the donut in the vanilla icing. Add the broken chocolate egg pieces on top of the donut.
Notes
Tips:
- Mix the icing right before you are ready to begin frosting the donuts. The icing will begin to set in the bowl if left too long.
- Add the sprinkles and/or coconut before the icing hardens on the donut to make sure it sticks well.
- Let the donut cool completely before adding the icing.
