Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup butter or margarine room temperature
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ tsp vanilla
  • 2⅔ cups
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative

Topping Ideas

  • Cinnamon Sugar - 1½ Tbsp cinnamon ½ cup sugar
  • Powdered Sugar – ½ cup icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, oil and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.
  • In another bowl combine the remaining dry ingredients. Alternate adding a third of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, followed by a third of the milk. Continue mixing on low until all is incorporated.
  • Spoon mixture into a large Ziploc bag and seal. Snip corner off and gently squeeze (half full) into the wells of a well greased mini doughnut pan. Bake at 425°F for 7-10 minutes until lightly golden brown (taste one to be sure inside is done).
  • Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then carefully turn out onto wire rack.
  • While warm gently shake a few doughnuts at a time in a plastic bag filled with the sugared toppings of your choice. For chocolate glazed topping, allow doughnuts to cool completely before dipping.
