Gluten-Free Morning Glory Doughnuts

January 29, 2020

Gluten-Free Morning Glory Doughnuts

My mom used to these morning glory bran muffins for us as kids & I loved them with a nice dollop of butter! Unfortunately, bran isn’t gluten-free, & since having been gluten-free for 6 years now, I wanted to set out & make my own gluten-free version of this classic recipe.

Gluten-Free Morning Glory Doughnuts

Gluten-Free Fibre Sources

A lot of great sources of fibre come from gluten-containing products. Since I am gluten-free I have to find gluten-free ways to get my fibre in. These doughnuts are a great source of just that. We are using flax-meal, carrots, apple, pecans, & unsweetened shredded coconut, all of which contain fibre!

Why is fibre so important?

Well, fibre helps keep you full & satisfied. It helps with bowel movements & keeping things regular (if you know what I mean). I love getting adequate fibre into my day because it helps me feel my best. I tend to have a big appetite & I notice if I don’t get enough fibre to keep me full, I can’t seem to get full. So starting my day with something that is a good source of fibre is key for me to feeling satiated & energized all day long!

Doughnuts or muffins

I love using my silicon doughnut pan for these doughnuts as I find it the easiest to get them out of. The one I use is here. Don’t have a doughnut pan? No problem! You can make these into muffins. Baking time will slightly vary & the muffins will need to bake for around 30 minutes, compared to about 22 minutes for doughnuts.

Gluten-Free Morning Glory Doughnuts

What you need for the recipe:

  • Carrot
  • Apple
  • Ginger
  • Cinnamon
  • Pink Salt
  • Vanilla
  • Applesauce
  • Flax-meal
  • Gluten-free flour
  • Coconut sugar
  • Coconut oil
  • Egg
  • Raisins
  • Pecans
  • Baking Soda

Power up with protein

Feel free to add 1/2 cup collagen peptides for an added protein punch. I love adding collagen into my sweets & treats to power them up with a bit more protein. Another macronutrient that can help keep you full & fuelled throughout the day!
