Gluten-Free Chocolate Donut Holes

As a Canadian who was recently forced to go gluten-free, there's nothing I miss more than a chocolate Timbit®. However, late one Saturday night, my roommate and I decided to attempt a gluten-free brownie recipe, which ended in a hot mess that tastes exactly like a Timbit®! Don't be discouraged by the strange silly putty-esque texture it has before baking, because it's delicious in the end. Enjoy! Glaze with icing of your choice.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon soy milk
• ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons hot chocolate mix
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
• ½ cup margarine (such as Becel®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides of the pan.

Step 2

Blend margarine, sugar, and hot chocolate mix in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat until well combined.

Step 3

Combine flour, salt, xanthan gum, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Pour into butter mixture and combine. Add vanilla extract; mix well. Pour in soy milk and stir well. Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading to all corners.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Cut into 16 equal-sized pieces and roll into balls.
