Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 cups Gluten-free sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are well-combined.

Step 4

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the butter and buttermilk to the wet ingredients mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the donuts are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the glaze, in a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a bit more milk or powdered sugar.

Step 10

Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place back on the wire rack.

Step 11

Immediately after glazing, top each donut with the gluten-free sprinkles before the glaze sets.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to harden slightly for a few minutes before serving.
