  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • ¼ cup almond milk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and ½ cups powdered sugar
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Donut Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease two donut pans with non-stick spray.
  • Whisk the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
  • Take a large zipped-top bag, spoon the batter into the baggie, un-fold to fill and cut a small corner off.
  • Pipe the batter into the donut pans, filling ¾ full. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
  • Place the donut pans on a wire rack to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to cool for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Sift the powdered sugar through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and set aside.
  • Make the icing by adding brown sugar, almond milk, and dairy-free butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until smooth. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Dip the tops of the donuts into the icing and place back on the wire rack to set.

Notes

Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix. For gluten-free flour, preferred blends are Pamela’s and Better Batter.
