Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
- 1 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free option)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a donut pan with a little butter or oil, ensuring it’s well-coated to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the almond milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Fill the Donut Pan:
- Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each donut well about 3/4 full. You can also use a piping bag to make this step neater and easier.
- Bake:
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Prepare the Coating:
- While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Melt the additional butter in a separate bowl.
- Coat the Donuts:
- Once the donuts are done and cool enough to handle but still warm, brush each with the melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve:
- Serve these gluten-free cinnamon sugar donuts warm, or let them cool to room temperature.
