Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or vegetable oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Add the honey, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil, whisking until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are set and spring back lightly when touched.

Step 7

Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free honey donuts!
