Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a low heat until just melted, then allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts dense.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze by sifting the powdered sugar into a bowl. Add a tablespoon of milk (or more as needed) and stir until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 10

Dip the top of each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, then place them back on the wire rack to set.

Step 11

Serve the donuts fresh for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your nut-free, gluten-free treat!
