DIY Donettes (Mini Sugar-Coated Doughnuts)

Like the ones made by Hostess, my Donettes are fluffy bites of yellow cake swaddled in a messy coat of powdered sugar, and small enough to eat by the handful. They're a little tangy like the original, but from thick Greek yogurt rather than some mystery additive, with a vibrant color and custardy richness from egg yolks. But the real secret is refined coconut oil, which is odorless at high heat and happens to be the tastiest fry oil around.

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Vegan Apple Doughnuts

Apple doughnuts in March? Let me explain! Originally I planned to share a buttermilk doughnut recipe for Gluten-Free Tuesday.

In an effort to create an allergen-free doughnut, I skipped the buttermilk and eggs and turned to apple juice.
