Is it okay to use canola oil to fry? Running out of coconut oil. Thanks!

I read your post on soaking grains, but not sure which instruction to follow for making these doughnuts. How do you soak for this recipe? Thanks :)

Also… I bow to you for not only getting up early on a Saturday morning but also for GRINDING WHEAT INTO FLOUR. Outside of this blog, I think the last time I heard those four words strung together was when I was reading “The Little Red Hen” to my kids!!! Kudos for you :)

Since I”m pretty sure you won’t go for Fed Ex’ing me some of these, I’m going to have to make them myself.

I like this recipe b/c it doesn’t call for many ingredients that I don’t have. Since cooking isn’t exactly my favorite thing it’s better if I don’t allow myself to get geeked up about a potential new item I could make but have to go out and buy a bunch of stuff. Only thing I have to get is the sucanat. I have a ques though about the coconut oil: what is the big deal about coconut oil? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times on your site. (the only reason I even have it in my pantry is for another new recipe I made once earlier this year)

Made these this morning. I added 2 Tbsp of ground flax. Quite yummy! My favorite were the ones topped in cinnamon sugar (we also tried powdered sugar and chocolate glaze).

I reuse my coconut oil frequently… I haven’t made these yet, but would think the oil would be good for use in baking something with similar flavors- like as a butter substitute in cookies or sweet bread… :) I would definitely not throw it away. :)

Oh, no, that’s not healthy at all. Teflon is terrible for you. Also, fat is good! I’ll be making some donuts just as soon as I get my lard rendered!

I know this question was a while ago, but just to share our experience. . . I have made a version of these multiple times without eggs (or dairy products or coconut oil due to multiple food allergies in our family) — love the basic recipe! For the egg, I have used either flaxseed meal with water (check package directions for ratio) or commercial Ener-G egg replacer. It’s been a while since using the flaxseed, but our experience has been that the Ener-G (if “whipped” beforehand) often gives a better consistency, but I will sometimes use the ground flaxseed for more nutrition. We just had some for “Donuts with Daddy” to celebrate the letter D — yummy!!
