Baked Vanilla Donuts with Raspberry Glaze are such a treat for that special someone. These are soft, fluffy and light with a sweet raspberry glaze. Hard to believe they are gluten free!
1 ½ cupsGluten Free All Purpose Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
¼teaspoonbaking soda
¼ tsp cream of tartar
1 ½ teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
⅔cupsugar
8tablespoon(1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1teaspoonvanilla
2eggs
1cupmilk (I used coconut)
Raspberry Glaze
1 ¼cupspowdered sugar
3tablespoonraspberry juice (see recipe notes)
1 tablespoonmilk
½teaspoonalmond flavor (or vanilla)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray your donut pans with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the first six dry ingredients, flour through sugar
In another small bowl whisk together the melted and cooled butter, vanilla, eggs, and milk. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in. Mix gently.
Transfer mixture to a Ziploc bag and cut the corner tip off. This makes it easy to pipe into the donut pan.
Fill each well ¾ full without covering the middle section. If you do, your doughnuts won't have a hole.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before glazing.
Raspberry Glaze
Add sugar, almond flavoring and raspberry juice to a stand mixer and blitz. I like to add a little more milk at a time until I get the consistency I desire.
Pour the glaze over cooled donuts with a spoon. Don't dip them bc they become over saturated.
Notes
For the raspberry juice, I put 1 cup frozen raspberries in the fridge to thaw for a few hours. I used the liquid from this as my raspberry juice. It has a beautiful red color and lots of flavor. These donuts are best eaten day of or next day.
