Equipment

  • Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • Donut Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups Bob's Red Mill brand Gluten-Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, in blue bag
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Topping

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Pour apple cider into a small saucepan and reduce down to about 1/2 cup. This should take about 15 minutes or so.
  • Meanwhile, add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into your mixing bowl.
  • In separate bowl, combine, egg, oil, milk, vanilla, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, and the reduced warm apple cider.
  • Next, combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix everything thoroughly. Do not over mix or the dough could become tough.
  • Grease a donut pan and pour batter in about 1/2 way full. For best results, use a sandwich baggie or piping bag and cut tip of bag so it's easier to pipe dough into donut pan. This method keeps things cleaner.
  • Lastly, bake donuts in oven at 350 degrees F. for approximately 10 minutes. You'll know they're done when you press lightly on top of donut and it springs back nicely.
  • Once out of oven, allow donuts to cool down for a few minutes before trying to remove them out of the pan.
  • In a shallow dish, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. To coat donuts, brush melted butter all over donut and roll around in sugar mixture. Tap off extra sugar. Enjoy!
