Gluten Free Baked Donuts

Baked donuts that actually taste like the real thing are hard to come by, and this recipe delivers the soft, cakey texture and sweet vanilla glaze you'd expect from a classic donut shop. The batter comes together with a gluten free flour blend, sour cream, and melted butter, which work together to keep each donut tender and moist — no gummy or crumbly texture in sight. A hint of nutmeg in the dry ingredients gives the whole batch that warm, nostalgic flavor that makes it impossible to eat just one. Because these are baked rather than fried, you get a lighter crumb that holds up beautifully to either the silky vanilla glaze or the optional cinnamon sugar coating — both are genuinely worth trying. The piping-bag method makes filling the donut cavities quick and tidy, and the whole process from mixing bowl to wire rack is surprisingly straightforward. With a yield of 12 donuts, this is a fantastic option for weekend brunches, birthday mornings, or any time you want a crowd-pleasing treat that everyone at the table can actually enjoy.
