Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- vegetable oil (for greasing the donut pan)
- powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with vegetable oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the donuts tough.
Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill each cavity of the mini donut pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown 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. Then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the mini donuts with powdered sugar or toss them in cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
