Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free pastry cream
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched lightly.

Step 7

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, use a small knife or piping tip to carve a hole into the side of each donut.

Step 9

Fill a piping bag with the gluten-free pastry cream and fill each donut generously from the hole you created.

Step 10

For the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 11

Let chocolate chips sit in the hot cream for about 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 12

Dip the top of each filled donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 13

Place the donuts on a wire rack or parchment paper and allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before serving.
