About

I created this recipe at a whim. I love donuts, but I cannot eat them as they are fried, and I love cupcakes. I was playing around in my kitchen and these little treats came to life. I love the combination of the soy milk added to this recipe and the rice flour; it adds a little more sweetness without the guilt.

Variations: Tablespoons of the following to create a different flavor:
-Add Belgium Chocolate powder to make chocolate cupcake
-Chai Tea instant powder
-Green Tea instant powder
-Instant Coffee (blend instant coffee in the soy milk)

Yield:

36 mini cupcake donuts
