Cook Time:
18 minutes
Servings:
12 donuts
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, pods scooped out)
  • 2 ⅔ cups King Arthur gluten-free measure for measure flour or Bob's Red Mill gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour
  • 1 cup whole milk, cold
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles (or topping of choice)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F and grease a donut pan with baking spray, then set it aside.
  2. Beat the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and continue beating until the mixture is well combined.
  4. Whisk in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
  5. Gradually stir the flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. (The batter will develop a thick texture once both are added.)
  6. Scoop the batter into a piping bag (or a plastic bag with the corner cut off).
  7. Pipe the batter into the cavities of the donut pan, filling them about ¾ full.
  8. Bake the donuts for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before you take them out of the pan.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla or almond extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. (If it's too thick, add 1-2 more teaspoons of milk at a time.)
  10. Dip 1 donut at a time in the glaze, then top with rainbow sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
  11. Allow the glaze to harden for 1-2 minutes, and enjoy.
