Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 units Eggs, large
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the tip cut off and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the caramel glaze, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled donuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free caramel donuts!
