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