Gluten Free Baked Apple Cider Donuts

Gluten Free Baked Apple Cider Donuts , By www.uniquegiftstips.com .

Every fall we pack all of our littles up in the car and we head to our favorite apple orchard(s). Is it weird that we visit more than a couple? Is it weirder that we have multiple favorites too? Cause

Total Time: 20 Minutes, Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients :

For the donuts:
1½ cups gluten free flour blend
1 tsp xanthan gum
½ cup brown sugar
½ granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
1 cup apple cider (to be reduced to ½ cup!)
¼ cup milk (almond milk works great!)
1 egg
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
For the cinnamon sugar topping:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions :

In a small saucepan, simmer one cup of apple cider (and if you have it available, a stick of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg) over heat over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
Let simmer to reduce the apple cider down to about ½ cup.
Carefully remove the cinnamon stick and let cool. Set aside.
Next, mix together all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and then add in all the wet ingredients until well combined.
Place mixture into a large plastic bag and cut the tip off of one corner to use as a pastry bag.
Grease a mini donut pan very well (or a mini muffin tin) and squeeze batter into each donut hole.
Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove donuts from pan immediately and place into a bag with the cinnamon sugar topping (1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon)
Shake donuts until well coated.
Remove donuts and let cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
