Confetti Donuts With Hibiscus & Rose Hip Sparkling Tea

Published by

  It’s Kindness Wednesday!  Let’s sprinkle the world in kindness and some donuts too! Today’s act of kindness is baking donuts and sharing them with my family.  Instead of serving up a cup of coffee to go with the donuts- that’s just too cliche- I made Hibiscus and Rose Hip Sparkling Tea.   Confetti Donuts!   I modified this recipe to make it both dairy-free and gluten-free. Below is the recipe from Pinterest with slight modifications. Ingredients: DONUTS 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (careful not to overmeasure) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (gives them that “bakery donut” taste) 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar 1/4 cup (60ml) almond vanilla milk 1 large egg 2 Tablespoons (30g) melted Earth Balance Soy Butter 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles GLAZE 1/4 cup (60ml) almond vanilla milk 2 cups (240g) confectioners’ (powdered) sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extra sprinkles to sprinkle on top, optional Directions click here   Hibiscus and Rose Hip Sparkling Tea   What You Will Need 1 …
