Ingredients
  • Donut
  • • 2 cups gluten free flour
  • • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • • ½ teaspoon salt
  • • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • • 2 eggs
  • • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Glaze
  • • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • • 3 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and lightly spray donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. While the oven preheats, mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl - 2 cups gluten free flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon soda, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Using a hand mixer, combine all the wet ingredients in a separate medium-sized bowl – 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, ½ cup melted coconut oil, ½ cup pure maple syrup and ¼ cup brown sugar.
  4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients bowl, and again using hand mixer, mix until all ingredients are combined.
  5. Using a spoon (or icing bag) place batter into the donut pan, filling just to the rim of the pan. (*Note: don’t overfill the pan, if you do it won’t get the hole in the middle.)
  6. Bake donuts at 425 degrees for 5 minutes, and then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 7 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove donut pan from the oven and let cool for few minutes, then flip the pan over to get the donuts out and let them cool on wire rack.
  8. Repeat with the rest of the batter. (*Note: Turn oven back to 425 degrees)
  9. While the second batch bakes, prepare glaze: using a hand mixer, mix 1½ cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons almond milk until fully combined.
  10. Once donuts are completely cooled, gently dip them into the glaze one by one, and return to wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
  11. Enjoy!
