The best kitchen purchase I’ve made since my dehydrator was the donut mold. I’ve created some beautiful, healthy, and gluten-free donuts for my family. A quick scan of my pantry revealed an opened bottle of molasses, and I just had to create a gingerbread version. For my flour, I choose coconut flour. Coconut flour requires a lot of liquid because it is so fibrous. The general rule of thumb is that for every 1/2 cup of coconut flour, you’ll need 6 eggs, plus oil.
These donuts are dairy, grain and gluten-free and are sure to please. The great thing is that these can be made ahead of time and frozen. On the morning you’d like to eat them, warm them quickly in the oven (or just leave them on the counter), and you have an instant breakfast that is full of nutrition and flavor. The deep and warm gingerbread taste is contrasted nicely by the light, lemon flecked frosting to create a unique culinary experience for your taste buds.

Hi Susie, can you tell me where to get the doughnut molds/what they are made out of? I live in NZ but have family in MN if I can’t track them down here. Thanks!

This recipe was horrible. Very salty, and I used 1/2 the salt. Very disappointed to have wasted 6 eggs on this!
Is it really necessary to act this rude? I agree the recipe wasn’t my favorite, but there is a better more productive approach to your opinion. Next time, I’ll try using some fresh grated ginger, add some cardamom and maybe a little honey. Definitely way less salt. There is hope for this recipe, just needs some tweaking. That’s the beauty of productive comments. Others that have had success tweaking can share what they did….
I have lost faith in Weston Price recipes thanks to you. I am 71 years old and am horrified that your idea of a response to a criticism is to delete it. Sad. I really wanted gingerbread but got salty molasses.

This is horrible. There is WAY too much salt. I love salt, but this is overwhelming. Maybe 1/4 the amount and it might be okay…there almost has to be a mistake.
1/4 to 1/8 the amount. I would probably use 1/8-1/4 tsp salt next time. Definitely not 2 tsp
