Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour This is the base of your donuts. It provides structure without gluten.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar This adds sweetness and helps with browning.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder This is essential for making the donuts rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon This adds a warm, comforting spice to the donuts.
  • 2 large eggs Eggs help bind the ingredients together and add moisture.
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) Milk adds moisture and richness. You can use almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil This keeps the donuts moist and tender.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Vanilla gives the donuts their signature flavor.
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup powdered sugar This is the main ingredient for a sweet glaze.
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy) This helps to thin the glaze to the right consistency.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract A touch of vanilla in the glaze enhances the flavor.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Fill each cavity of the prepared donut pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the donuts cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the glaze.
  8. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and let them set on the wire rack.
