Ingredients

Gluten-Free Donuts

2 Tablespoons melted butter
1 large egg
5 Tablespoons light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup oat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Maple Pecan Glaze

1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple extract optional
1/4 cup crushed pecans for topping, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 6-cavity donut pan and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, sugar, maple syrup, yogurt and vanilla extract.
Whisk in the remaining dry ingredients until smooth.
Pour the batter into the donut pan and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
To create the glaze, whisk together the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and maple extract until smooth.
Once the donuts have cooled completely, either dip the tops in the glaze or drizzle it on top, then sprinkle with crushed pecans. Enjoy!
