Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 units Eggs, large
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the tip cut off and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the caramel glaze, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 10

Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 11

Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled donuts.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free caramel donuts!
