Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Cinnamon sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into a pastry bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
While the donuts are still warm, brush the tops lightly with melted butter and dip them in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture, or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
