Ingredients

Gluten Free Donuts

Glaze

  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk, regular or dairy free

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a donut pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, add milk, eggs, vanilla and oil. Stir to combine.
  • Then add in gluten free flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir to combine. The dough will be thin like cake batter.
  • Use a spoon to spoon donut batter into greased donut pan. Fill each cavity halfway.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until donuts have risen and set.
  • Remove donuts from oven. Allow donuts to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Then carefully invert the donut pan and remove donuts onto a cooling rack.
  • To make the glaze, add powdered sugar and milk to a mixing bowl. Stir until creamy.
  • Dip each donut into glaze and place back on cooling rack. Repeat for each donut.

Notes

  • Both regular milk and dairy free milk work in this recipe.  To keep it dairy free, I used vanilla almond milk in both the donuts and glaze.
  • The donut batter will be thin like cake batter.
  • I use and love Wilton's donut pan.  Generously spray with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  • Bake donuts until they have fully risen.  A toothpick inserted will come out clean when they are done baking.
  • These donuts can be served with or without the glaze.
  • They can be served warm immediately after glazing or they can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Nutrition facts include the glaze.
