Gluten Free Donuts Recipe
Whip up delightful gluten-free donuts with this easy baked recipe! Perfect for celiacs and anyone craving a sweet, fluffy treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-count donut pan well.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
