In a medium-sized bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter melts. Let it cool until warm, not hot.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and slowly add the warm milk mixture while stirring.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing thoroughly to create a sticky dough.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the Bavarian cream filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream and vanilla pudding mix. Beat until the mixture is thick and creamy, then refrigerate.
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and gently roll it to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
Use a round cutter to cut out dough circles. Place the donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover them again with a cloth and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the risen donuts in small batches until golden brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Once cooled, use a piping bag with a narrow nozzle to fill each donut with the prepared Bavarian cream by injecting through the side.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
