Which flours are in Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Mix?

Bob's Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour is made with just 4 simple ingredients—Almond Flour, Arrowroot Starch, Organic Coconut Flour, Tapioca Flour. Each of these flours are gluten free and grain-free.

Is coconut sugar allowed on Paleo?

Yes, coconut sugar and coconut nectar are paleo-approved. A natural sweetener derived from coconuts, it offers beneficial minerals and is not as processed as refined sugar. As with all sweeteners, however, it should be enjoyed in moderation.

Are baked donuts better than fried?

Frying donuts tends to increase both fat and calories. So from a nutrition standpoint, baking the dough instead of frying it is a simple way to reduce the amount of fat and calories overall. Baked donuts tend to taste more like an old-fashioned or cake donut. By selecting recipes (like this one!) which have been tried & tested specifically to become tasty baked donuts, you’ll likely find a baked donut is just as delicious as a fried one, with less fat and fewer calories.

How do you make baked donuts?

The easiest way is to bake the batter in a molded Donut Pan. Similar to a muffin tin, but with a center portion which creates the perfect donut shape, this pan makes it easy to turn any cake, quickbread or cookie dough into a donut shaped treat.

What if I don’t have a donut pan?

You can bake this recipe in a mini muffin tin or mini loaf tin and still have great results. Or, make your own donut tin by bunching small balls of tin foil into a bouncy-ball sized round and placing the rounds in the center of a large muffin tin. Spray well with nonstick spray.

How long do baked donuts last?

Most baked goods last in an airtight container for about 1 week. Refrigerate to keep them freshest. And bring to room temperature (or zap in the microwave) before serving for best results.
