Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

- Let the glazed donuts set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Check donut pan for even coating of nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and more consistent texture in your donuts.
- Pipe batter carefully into donut molds, filling each about 2/3 full to allow proper rising without overflowing.
- For gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend, which will create a slightly denser texture.
