Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cups Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for optional glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and smooth.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are set 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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you'd like to make an optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Serve the donuts plain or with your choice of toppings, such as sprinkles or a dusting of cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
