Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free 1-1 flour blend
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil (or melted refined coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (for icing)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (for icing)
  • 1 tablespoon dairy-free butter (for icing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two donut pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined to keep the donuts light.
  5. Transfer batter to a zipped-top bag; pipe into greased donut pans about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 11–12 minutes until the tops bounce back when tapped; cool for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Prepare icing by heating brown sugar, almond milk, and dairy-free butter in a saucepan; whisk in powdered sugar after cooling slightly before dipping cooled donuts.
