Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • â…“ cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 12 tablespoons milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan thoroughly with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut cavities, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
  • Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze and place back on the rack to let the glaze set.
