Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Donuts

Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled (or you could use butter)
- 1/3 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, spices and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not over-mix the batter.
- Spray two (6-count) donut pans really good with nonstick spray. Spoon batter into a pastry bag or ziplock bag and snip off the corner. Pipe the batter into each donut well until they are all filled (this recipe makes exactly 12 donuts).
- Place donuts in the oven and bake for about 12 to 13 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. You want to be careful about over-baking them because donuts actually bake really quickly! Transfer the donuts to a wire rack so they can cool.
- Once the donuts have cooled completely, melt the coconut oil (or butter) and mix together cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a pastry brush, coat each donut in coconut oil and toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Enjoy!
