Cinnamon Coffee Cake Donuts! (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipe)

This is my first attempt at making homemade donuts and I am SO excited to get into this realm of baking. I’ve been making all of the gluten-free muffins, loaves, cookies, etc., but donuts?! They always seemed like a bigger challenge. So I’m very excited to bring you my first (& certainly not last) coffee cake donuts! (Gluten-free & dairy-free.)

directions

1. Preheat to 400 F.
2. Grease donut pan (I used this coconut oil spray). Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon) to a plate (or small bowl). In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and Nutpods). Slowly combine the dry ingredients & wet ingredients, mixing as you pour.
3. Pour the mixture evenly into each section of your donut pan, patting down lightly with a spoon to remove lumps.
4. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until a toothpick/ reusable baking tester comes out clean.
5. Allow the donuts to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then pop them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
6. Stir the icing ingredients (powdered sugar, Nutpods, vanilla, and cinnamon) together until smooth in a small bowl. Pour glaze evenly onto cooled donuts. Top with extra cinnamon & sprinkles if desired!
