Doughnuts can be healthy. These baked gingerbread doughnuts are paleo, gluten-free, vegan, made with plantains and allergy-friendly. Have them for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. You can even eat the whole pan yourself. So don’t wait, doughnut-freedom awaits!
I promised you guys I would make a gingerbread recipe. Well here it is (just a few months late!). I made these over winter break after I got this beautiful doughnut pan from Santa! One of the best gifts! I had been lusting for one for so long and they aren’t even expensive
I have since made many doughnuts and have another killer recipe to share, but first, we’ll start with the gingerbread! And boy are they yummy during any season!
I also have to give you a history lesson with this one. I do love my food history! When I was typing this post up, I realized I finally needed to find out if it should be doughnut or donut. Well, I have your answer and you may just be shocked.
Let’s start from the beginning though. Doughnuts have been around for centuries and have even been found petrified by archaeologists! We don’t really know much about those fried cakes, so historians tend to start at the 19th century with the Dutch and their frying or sweet dough balls called, olykoeks. Immigrants brought them to America. Apparently the middle of these doughnuts never cooked all the way and thus be filled with fruits.
Then comes along a woman from New England who gives her son some doughnuts and the recipe when he leaves for a sea voyage. There are 2 versions of this story now. One, the son couldn’t steer the ship and eat the doughnut so he stabbed it on to the spoke of the ship’s wheel. Or, he hated the center filling and just poked it out. From there he started making his mother’s recipe without a center. The doughnut eventually becomes super popular during WWI and eventually gets mass-produced in the 1920s. In the 40s and 50s doughnut chains start popping up like Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Kreme.
Now, the “dictionary” approved spelling of Doughnut is Doughnut! BAM! It is the true formal word for the fried dough of yum. The simpler, shortened version, Donut, came about after it became a popular treat and stores like Dunkin’ Donuts starting coining the name as such. So really, it’s a doughnut and not a donut (that’s just slang). All you food bloggers naming your doughnuts, “donuts”, should stop. It’s wrong!
I’ll get off my doughnut soap-box now and get on with the recipe. Not only did I have a lovely doughnut pan to be broken in, but I also had these glorious gluten-free, vegan, AND soy-free sprinkles! (O, you have no idea the excitement that filled me!) I knew they would be the perfect topping. So I did my research to find a good allergy-free doughnut base recipe to play from and I found that with the Purely Twins lovely plantain doughnut recipe! All you needed was a wonderful ripe plantain…
Pureed in a food processor until smooth…
Mixed with a few other ingredients, one of which was arrowroot starch! I had a bag which I’d only used once, so I was excited to get to use it again and keep things grain-free! Then just divide the “dough” into 4 doughnut molds and bake!
And now for the full recipe. Get excited because these are awesome! Grain-free, paleo, vegan, soy-free, and of course gluten-free. You really can eat the whole pan or split it, two and two with a friendly loved one 😉 They also freeze well, can be eaten cold the next day or heated in the microwave for a warm breakfast treat!
Gingerbread Doughnuts
Ingredients: (makes 4 doughnuts, serves 2) Inspired by this recipe.
+ 1 Yellow Plantain (about 7-8oz)
+ 1/4 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
+ 1/8 Tsp Ground Ginger
+ 1/8 Tsp Ground Cloves
+ 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
+ 5-10 Drops Vanilla Stevia
+ 1/4 Cup Arrowroot Starch
+ 1 Tsp Baking Powder
+ 2 TB Unsweetened Almond Milk
+ 1/2 TB Blackstrap Molasses
+ Chocolate Sprinkles
Directions:
+ Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
+ Lightly grease your doughnut pan
+ Peel and slice your plantain into chunks and process in a food processor or blender until smooth.
+ Add the blended plantain to a mixing bowl. Add in all other ingredients except the sprinkles. Mix until all is mingled together.
+ Scoop and pour the dough evenly among 4 of the doughnut molds. Sprinkle the tops of each with the chocolate sprinkles.
+ Bake the doughnuts for 12-13 minutes. Remove and let cool before carefully lifting the doughnuts out of the molds lightly with a fork. Eat right away or store in an air tight container. Make sure they are cooled though (use a wire rack so the bottoms can cool too!) and nothing will get soggy!
I don’t like an overpowering gingerbread taste, so I went very mild with the spices. However, you can add more if you know you LOVE ginger and cloves! It’s all up to you! Either way, these are good…really good. My mom even enjoyed them and she hates ginger and was pretty skeptical about a grain-free plantain doughnut! Plus, I think the sprinkles make them super fun and extra yummy 😉
Now who wants a DOUGHNUT (not donut)!? Don’t delay getting out your pan
So tell me:
+ Doughnut or Donut?
+ Favorite doughnut to get at like a bakery/DD? I always had a weird thing for either strawberry frosted or vanilla frosted when I was a wee one!

I’m still calling mine donuts 😛
I think probably because it’s short and sweet, but also because doughnuts doesn’t even make sense to me as a word… where are the nuts?!? 🙂
Audrey @ Unconventional Baker recently posted…Raw Apricot Jam {Vegan, Paleo, Refined Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, AIP, SCD}
But you don’t pronounce “do” like “dough” so donut doesn’t make sense!
I must get a doughnut pan! I love the ingredient list and would love to try these!

Umm – yummy! Gingerbread and doughnuts are pretty much my two favourite foods!! I love the fact that you bake them – I didn’t even know you could make doughnuts by baking them. This is going into my to-cook folder.
Emily M Morgan recently posted…Breastfeeding and Expressing Facilities at Work
Haha, really? Well, I would never eat anything fried so these are 1000000x better, healthy, and just damn delicious!
well that’s what has put me off buying or making doughnuts – the frying. Now I know better!
Emily M Morgan recently posted…Breastfeeding and Expressing Facilities at Work
Those look delicious! I don’t have a doughnut pan, and I know they aren’t expensive, but I wonder if these could work as a loaf? Or mini muffins?
Ariana recently posted…Five Ways to Get Sweaty in Vancouver This Weekend
No, it wouldn’t rise or be fluffy enough so to speak.
Ah. Thanks for answering my question!
Ariana recently posted…Five Ways to Get Sweaty in Vancouver This Weekend
I need to make these soon. Looks delicious. 🙂
Yes! Thank you!
These look awesome, I love gingerbread any time of year too! I have that donut pan, I love it but definitely don’t use it often enough!
I always considered “doughnut” to be the correct spelling and “donut” to be the American spelling, so I was along the right vein haha! I still usually spell it “donut” though because I like the way the word looks better… or perhaps I’m just lazy haha!
Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake recently posted…Chocolate Butterscotch Cheesecake
Yes! DOUGHNUT elites! I like spelling it this way, haha! It’s easier to sound out and spell correctly!
Delicious looking donuts! I just can’t stomach Krispie Creme. I would rather go hungry.

Thank you for the history behind the doughnut. I had no idea. These doughnuts look perfect to me , I love healthy treats!
Krystal recently posted…Spanish Tomato Tostada
Haha, thank you Krystal!
I had no idea that doughnuts had been around for so long! :O There’s a canto dimsum version that I always think of as doughnuts because they’re essentially fried day with powdered sugar without the actual doughnut hole. They are delicious, but oh so bad for you, haha.
I love this version! It looks awesome! (+ yay for gingerbread, which I somehow never had over the holidays!)
I want to see these fossilized “doughnuts” 😉
And I know! Me too! This was the first and only gingerbread thing I had…sadness :O
I am totally intrigued by gingerbread donuts – er i meant Doughnuts – with chocolate sprinkes! Lady, these sound fantastic! I had no idea of the history behind the humble and popular Doughnut so thanks for sharing!

Doughnut – donut, tomato – tomata, whateva! 😉
Love the pan, I have the same one. Baked donuts are the best and your recipe looks awesome. Can’t wait to give these a try.
I guess as long as it tastes good 😉
Haha, thanks for the little doughnut history lesson 🙂 I don’t like fried doughnuts, but your baked ones sound delicious!
Kat | curlsnchard.com recently posted…Raw Baobab Buckwheat Porridge

Oh and I love that you included a plantain in them! I really have to try baking with plantains now, this is the third recipe I’ve seen lately that uses plantains 😀
Kat | curlsnchard.com recently posted…My Week on Instagram #31 + falling in love with Snapchat
Plantains are magic! They are a staple in my kitchen!
Yes, they definitely are – I love them too – just have never baked with them! 🙂
Gingerbread is one of my favorite flavors! Ahhh, so good! Why don’t I own a doughnut pan yet??
Melanie @ Nutritious Eats recently posted…Black Bean and Corn Salad {Vegan, Gluten Free}

I love gingerbread even if it’s April! A doughnut pan is one of those things I keep meaning to get, but for some reason haven’t. These look great! Gotta get a pan!

Can’t go wrong with chocolate 😉
Yum!!! Pinning – I have one question for you though, how the heck did you get your plantain to cooperate with you like that – I usually have to cut mine out of the skin – I get so annoyed! But these look fantastic. I’d have to hand form these into muffins or something (no donut pan). But they would still be fab!! Pinning!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors recently posted…Flatbread Pizza with Hummus
It’s a hit or a miss, but they usually work! Just slice a line down the skin and peel!
Girl….get a pan now!
Love this! I’m a ginger/ gingerbread fan year round.
My family loves donuts, my mom is always bringing them to the girls and even got my youngest donut pants, yep donut leggings! I have never been a huge donut fan but with the girls and my husband loving them we still stop and enjoy them on road trips and every now and then. We got a couple dozen Easter weekend to take up to my parents and I had one and actually enjoyed it and I can’t remember the last time I had one or and heck even longer since I had one and really enjoyed it.
We bought a mini donut pan a couple years ago and went through a phase of making some healthy donuts but haven’t in awhile and I have been debating on bringing it back out. Like everything else there is a list a mile long of things I want to make and things we love and we just seem to go in phases but need to add these and our favorite mini muffins into the rotation again.
Sarah recently posted…Popcorn Mac N Cheese Casserole (gluten free & vegan friendly)
It’s always fun to bring out favorites every now and again!
I don’t think I’ve ever thought about it before but I guess I usually use ‘donut’, although I do agree that isn’t the proper way to spell it. That being said, these do look delicious! Gingerbread is one of my favorites. I bet it’s great in doughnut form!
Miranda @ Miranda Writes Blog recently posted…How to Help Someone Who is Grieving
Yea, I never even have to use the word, but when I do…like this recipe, I am using it right!
And yes…they are 😉
Something else to add to my ever growing list of things to bake/try while at home! I loved the mini doughnut lesson you gave! Also I totally hesitated while spelling that! Have a great start to your week, this post definitely ensured a wonderful start to mine! Much love from a warm Jersey 🙂

jen recently posted…WELL, HELLO MONDAY…
I think it does too 😉 Doughnuts for everyone!!!
These look great! I’ve never pureed a ripe plantain out of pure laziness but I will be trying this, as you know I’m never short on plantains 🙂 I also have the exact same doughnut/donut pan as you and yes it was super cheap and it’s awesome. I’d also LOVE those sprinkles!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…5k Training, a Wedding, and an 18 Hour Headache
You are going to LOVE these!
And I’m pretty sure this is the industry standard pan most people have, haha!
Plantains are such an awesome base for baked stuff! This is one of those moments in life I’m glad I invested in a donut pan 🙂
And ‘doughnut’ may be the correct way to spell it, but considering I use words like fudgey and chlorofilled and other made up things, correctness isn’t really my biggest concern. I’m okay with ‘donut’, it’s trendy 🙂
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit recently posted…Lemon Blueberry French Toast Rolls

Since it’s not an adjective food word, I’m a traditionalist here and will respect the DOUGHNUT!

Ahhh another reason I need to get a donut pan (yes I definitely use donut- wrong! haha) Gingerbread is delicious any time of year!!
I totally agree 😉
I am totally okay with eating an entire pan of these. I think I’ve used ‘donut’ before but am definitely more of a ‘doughnut’ person! And I’m a sucker for pumpkin or maple donuts- they’re too good to resist!

Pumpkin and Maple….o goodness….Fall flavors are super good aren’t they 😉
Believe it or not I’m not a big doughnut fan – but these look yummy:) If I have to have one (twist my arm) at a bakery, I usually opt for something like an apple fritter! Not a doughnut but if there are apple chunks on it- I’m in heaven!
