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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the donuts plain or with your choice of toppings, such as sprinkles or a dusting of cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
