1/3 cup melted refined coconut oil or canola oil, plus more for brushing the trays
1 cup vegan sugar
3/4 cup white or brown rice flour
1/3 cup garbanzo and fava bean flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup arrowroot
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup hot water

1
Preheat the oven to 325F.
2
Brush 2 six-mold donut trays with coconut oil and set aside.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flours, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and baking soda.
4
Add the 1/3 cup coconut oil, the applesauce, vanilla, lemon extract, and hot water and mix with a rubber spatula just until the ingredients are combined.
5
Fold in the jam just until the batter takes on a swirled pattern.
6
Using a melon-baller or tablespoon, drop 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter into each donut mold.
7
Using a toothpick, spread the batter evenly around the mold.
8
Place them in the oven for 8 minutes, rotate, and continue baking for another 8 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown.
9
Let cool in the molds for 5 minutes if sprinkling with toppings such as cinnamon sugar, or 15 minutes if using glaze or icing.
10
Run a knife around the donuts in the molds, lift them out, and place them on a baking sheet.
11
Coat the donuts with your choice of topping (see Dressing Up Your Donut, page 131).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
