Instructions

Donuts

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray then use a paper towel to evenly coat the entire donut well.
In a smaller bowl, combine the gluten free flour, nutmeg, sugar, baking powder and salt, mix until combined. Set aside.
2 cups (240g) all purpose gluten free flour, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt
In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract and vegetable oil, use a whisk or spatula to beat. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing by hand with a spatula just until combined.
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (148ml) milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp (89ml) vegetable oil
Transfer the batter to a ziplock bag, then cut off one corner and pipe the batter into the donut wells. Alternatively, use a cookie scoop and drop dollops of batter into the wells. Use a small spatula to smooth the tops of the batter if the batter is uneven. Fill the wells 1/2 to 3/4ths full.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool for 10 minutes in the donut pan. Then, turn the donut pan upside down and hit the pan again a counter a few times to release the donuts. Choose how you want to top your donuts. Each donut topping makes enough to glaze / coat 12 donuts, so if you want to do all 4 flavors, cut each recipe in half.

Chocolate Glaze

In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup. Microwave on 50% power for 60-90 seconds until fully melted.
1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, 2 tsp light corn syrup
Transfer the glaze to a shallow dish. Dip one donut at a time into the glaze, allowing the excess to fall off into the bowl. Allow the donuts to set for 1-2, then add sprinkles.

Krispy Kreme Glaze

In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until pourable. Add more powdered sugar if it’s too runny or more milk if it’s too thick.
1 1/2 cups (169g) powdered sugar, 1-2 Tbsp milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Transfer the glaze to a shallow dish. Dip one donut at a time into the glaze, allowing the excess to fall off into the bowl. I dipped my donuts twice in the glaze, giving them a resting time of 15 minutes between each dip.

Powdered Sugar Coating

Put the powdered sugar in a ziplock bag. Add one donut at a time to the bag, shake to coat. Repeat as necessary.
1 cup (113g) powdered sugar

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Combine the cinnamon sugar mixture in a ziplock bag. Add one donut at a time to the bag, shake to coat. Repeat as necessary.
2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon
