Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp butter (softened, partially melted)

- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all of the dry ingredients other than the sugar in a large bowl.
- Mix the butter and sugar then add the rest of the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them lightly. Do not overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into a doughnut tray. If you are not using a non-stick donut tray you should grease the donut tray with vegetable oil prior to filling it with batter.Do not fill the tray all the way to the top because the mixture will rise in the oven. You should fill the doughnut wells about 3/4 of the way.
- Bake the doughnuts for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. While the doughnuts are baking you can proceed to the next step and make the doughnut glaze.
- Mix all of the ingredients for the doughnut glaze.
- When the doughnuts are done baking, dip them in the glaze when they are still warm. Both sides of the doughnut should be coated in glaze.
Notes
Tips for measuring flour. We recommend measuring flour by spooning the flour into a measuring cup then leveling off the flour with a butter knife. This is the most consistent way to measure flour. If you dip your measuring cup into the bag of flour, it will compress the flour and you will end up with extra flour. Xanthan gum. If your gluten free all purpose flour blend does not contain xanthan gum or a similar replacement for gluten then you should add around 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum per cup of flour.
