Finally a recipe for a baked buttermilk doughnut that is crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside! You won't think you're eating a donut-shaped muffin with this one! You could also toss the donuts in a cinnamon-sugar mix, glaze them with a powdered sugar-water icing, or frost them with chocolate frosting.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup sifted powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
  • Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
  • Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
  • Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
  • Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
  • Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS

This is a recipe adapted from the recipe that came on the back of the Nordicware dounut pan I bought at Target. I glaze them with my recipe Yummy Vanilla Glaze. Your donut yield will depend on how full you fill the donut cups in the pan. Somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 is about right.

MINI-GLUTEN FREE BAKED BUTTERMILK DONUTS



Mini-Gluten Free Baked Buttermilk Donuts image

Not only are these Gluten Free, they are egg free, sugar free, and dairy free. These are different from your average fried donuts. They are more like dense cake. You have two choices of toppings, cinnamon and chocolate. I coated mine with a chocolate glaze that hardens when it cools. I included the recipe below for both toppings.

Number Of Ingredients 25

FOR THE DONUT
1/2 cup(s) almond milk
1/2 teaspoon(s) cider vinegar
3 tablespoon(s) water
1 tablespoon(s) ground flax seed meal
1/2 cup(s) xylitol
2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cup(s) gluten-free baking mix
1/4 cup(s) almond flour
1 tablespoon(s) organic refined coconut oil, melted
FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR COATING
1/2 cup(s) powdered xylitol
2 tablespoon(s) arrowroot starch
2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE THAT HARDENS AS IT COOLS
2 tablespoon(s) melted margarine or coconut oil
2 tablespoon(s) unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoon(s) hot water
1 cup(s) powdered xylitol
2 tablespoon(s) arrowroot starch
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Steps:

  • FOR THE DONUTS:
  • Preheat the oven to 350'F. Lightly grease 6 or 8 donut molds. I have a 12 mini donut mold I like to use. Spray the molds lightly with oil. In a small bowl make the buttermilk by combining the almond milk and cider vinegar. In another small bowl, mix the ground flax seed meal and water. Allow to thicken up for about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the Xylitol, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in the flax seed meal and buttermilk mixture. Gradually add the baking mix and almond flour and stir until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated but the dough is soft. (It's more like a thick gooey batter). Spoon the batter into donut molds and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the donuts are golden and firm. Remove the donuts and turn out on to a wire wrack to cool. FOR THE TOPPINGS: If using the cinnamon topping sift the cinnamon with the powdered xylitol and arrowroot starch. Brush the donuts with the melted coconut oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon Xylitol mixture. If using the chocolate glaze combine the melted coconut oil, cocoa and hot water. Blend in the powdered xylitol, arrowroot starch and vanilla. Put the mixture in a small bowl and dip the donuts in it and put on a tray and into the fridge to cool. Enjoy
