Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or vegetable oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Add the honey, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil, whisking until smooth and combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are set and spring back lightly when touched.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free honey donuts!
