Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a donut pan.
Whisk dry ingredients: flour, xanthan gum, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
Mix wet ingredients: sugar, melted butter, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients in a bowl until just mixed (no over-mixing).
Pour batter into prepared donut pan until ⅔ full.
Bake for 8–12 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool completely in pan.
For glaze, whisk confectioners’ sugar with milk to desired consistency and drizzle over donuts.
For sugar coating, brush donuts with melted butter and dip in granulated sugar.

Notes

If using an egg-only alternative (e.g., flax eggs), substitute 1 egg with 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water (1 per donut). Omit optional glaze/sugar coating if desired. Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for convenience.
