As the holidays near, I would like to share a few of my favorite recipes that I’ve made for friends and family. Though I do my
best to eat healthfully most of the time (say 80%), there’s nothing like a delicious dessert that everyone at the party can indulge in regardless of food sensitivities, right?
My friend Stephanie Laidlaw has a wonderful gluten-free recipe blog over at Hope for Healing that I would highly recommend bookmarking along with her lovely Facebook page. She’s a brilliant gal who walks the same walk as you and I since she found out that she was celiac. I’ve made many of her recipes and have loved each and every one. She kindly let me re-publish this favorite of mine here to share with all of you.
Hope you enjoy this perfectly seasonal, fun and easy dessert that could even be a lovely addition to Sunday AM brunch!

Apple Cinnamon Donut Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Bobs Red Mill GF Baking & biscuit mix
- 1 Cup Sweet sorghum flour
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp sea salt
- 1/2 Cup Hard extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 Cup Coconut milk beverage (So Delicious vanilla is the best choice)
- 1 Cup Apple Finely diced
- 1 Cup Sucanat or powdered sweetner (Like beet, date, palm or coconut sugar)
- 2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Melted Earth Balance (Soy-Free option) or melted coconut oil
Instructions
- First mix the flour, other dry ingredients, and hard coconut oil together in a large mixing bowl. Once you have a crumbly flour mix, add the coconut milk and continue mixing with a spatula or spoon. You’ll end up with a sticky batter that will kind of resemble a biscuit mix batter. Add the apple to the batter & combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted oil or Earth Balance spread with the sucanat and cinnamon to get a gooey mix.
- Go back to the batter and roll all of the batter into small balls (think donut holes) and place them in the bottom of a funnel cake or bundt pan. Then pour the gooey filling over top the batter. You will probably need to mix the batter balls a bit with the filling in the pan so that everything gets coated. Ultimately you are toss the batter balls and the filling together in the pan so that they can all bake up together nicely. It will taste good no matter what it looks like.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. This bread or cake, will serve up to 8 people.
