When it comes to Christmas, there a few things that feel more merry than sitting by the fire, drinking hot chocolate and biting into a nice warm piece of gingerbread cake. \u00a0Well, although we may not have the fire bit going, I wanted to come up with something that we could all enjoy eating. Because, let\u2019s face it: we\u2019re not all fans of the spicy gingerbread thing\u2026<\/p>\n

My girls and I brainstormed a bit before coming up with this recipe. \u00a0I wanted the flavors of gingerbread, without the traditionally not-so-liked cake version. \u00a0That\u2019s when the idea for these doughnuts popped into my head.<\/p>\n

These baked (read guilt-free), moist doughnuts are soft and cakey, and they\u2019re full of the traditional gingerbread flavors, without being too overpowering. \u00a0Then, as if that wasn\u2019t Christmasy enough, they\u2019re dipped in a white chocolate glaze. \u00a0White. Chocolate. Glaze. \u00a0The glaze is good for a double-dipping of the doughnuts, but you\u2019ll want to dip lots of things in this. \u00a0So if you dip the doughnuts once and keep the rest of the glaze for yourself, we won\u2019t judge. \u00a0Because it\u2019s Christmas. \u00a0And too good.<\/p>\n

White chocolate-glazed gingerbread goodness wrapped in a soft and cakey doughnut = Christmas party in your mouth.<\/p>\n

White Chocolate Glazed Gingerbread Doughnuts<\/h3>\n

{Gluten free friendly}<\/h4>\n

Makes 12-14<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Doughnuts<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 3\/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)*<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup maple syrup<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)<\/li>\n
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons molasses<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups flour*<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon ground pepper<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of ground cloves<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Glaze<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 10 oz. white chocolate (or almond bark)<\/li>\n
    • 6 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)<\/li>\n
    • 1-1\/2 cups powdered sugar<\/li>\n
    • Sprinkles, optional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Doughnuts<\/em><\/p>\n

      Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0, and grease a 6-cavity doughnut pan.<\/p>\n

      In a small bowl whisk together the milk, maple syrup, olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract and molasses until combined, and set aside. \u00a0In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and spices until combined. \u00a0Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and use a spoon or spatula to mix the doughnut batter together just until combined.<\/p>\n

      Pour the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip (or cut a corner of a plastic ziploc bag) and pipe the batter into the greased doughnut pan. Bake the doughnuts at 425\u00b0 until they spring back when lightly touched, about 10-12 minutes. \u00a0Remove from the oven, and let the doughnuts cool for 3-4 mins before turning them out on a cooling rack to cool completely. \u00a0Repeat with the remaining batter until all the doughnuts have been baked. \u00a0Let cool completely before glazing.<\/p>\n

      Glaze<\/em><\/p>\n

      To make the glaze, in a small bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave until smooth. Slowly whisk in the 6 tablespoons milk, then whisk in the powdered sugar until a glaze forms. \u00a0Add more powdered sugar or milk to reach the desired consistency. \u00a0Dip the top of each doughnut into the white chocolate glaze, top with sprinkles (if using) and return to the cooling rack. \u00a0Let the glaze harden for at least 30-40 minutes before enjoying!<\/p>\n

      *For a gluten free version, increase milk to 1 cup, and use a gluten free flour bend (I used Pamela\u2019s Artisan flour blend).<\/p>\n
