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
- None vegetable oil (for greasing the donut pan)
- None powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (optional for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with vegetable oil.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill each cavity of the mini donut pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooled, optionally dust the mini donuts with powdered sugar or toss them in cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
