Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend Look for a blend that contains xanthan gum.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Regular granulated sugar or coconut sugar.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Ensure it's fresh for fluffy donut holes.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda Helps give the dough lift.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Enhances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk Almond or oat milk are great dairy-free options.
  • 2 large eggs Adds richness to the dough.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Pure vanilla enhances flavor.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil Adds richness; choose based on preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut hole pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
  5. Carefully fill each donut hole cavity about 2/3 full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  2. Cool for a couple of minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  3. Enjoy warm or let them cool completely for later.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for up to a month.
