Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1.5 cups Confectioners' sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Maple extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add in the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the maple glaze by combining the confectioners' sugar, remaining maple syrup, and maple extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the top of each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy your delicious gluten-free maple donuts!
