Ingredients:

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, melted butter or coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cinnamon Sugar Topping (Optional):

Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip the warm donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

Tips for Success:

  • Use a good quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum.
  • Don’t overmix the batter, or the donuts will be tough.
  • Let the donuts cool completely before adding any glaze or frosting.
