Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup gluten-free flour blend Use a blend that includes xanthan gum for better texture.
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon You can experiment with other spices for different flavors.
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup apple cider Reduce as directed for enhanced flavor.
1/2 cup coconut sugar Adjust quantity for less sweetness.
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup almond milk Or use other dairy-free milk.

Method

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
In a medium saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the reduced apple cider, coconut sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.

Baking

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove the donuts from the pan.

Notes

These donuts are best enjoyed warm. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness. Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for up to a month.
