Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil ( and fruit puree if reducing fat) and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add buttermilk and water a little at a time to the mix. Bake in preheated donut maker coated with gluten-free cooking spray. Bake 3 minutes. These may also be baked in a sandwich maker--but bake 7 minutes.
