My delicious Glazed Cinnamon Pumpkin Donuts, which traditionally use Almond Flour and Egg, now have a nut-free, egg-free variation. They are smaller and softer than their nuttier, dense counterpart. A favorite of my husbands these are not grain-free but are gluten-free, of course, and so delicious. See the recipe below! Ingredients:
Donuts: dry: 1/4 c. potato starch 1/4 c. oat flour 1/4 c. brown rice flour 1/4 c. tapioca starch 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar 2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ginger wet: 1/4 c. honey 1 TBSP. coconut oil 1/4 c. dairy-free milk 2 TBSP. organic applesauce 1/4 C. canned organic pumpkin Glaze: 1 C. Corn-Free Confectioners Sugar (I use an organic cane sugar/tapioca starch blend) 2 TBSP. Vegan Butter (I use Earth Balance Dairy-Free/Soy-Free) 1 1/2 TBSP. non-dairy milk Directions: For Donuts: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease donut pan LIBERALLY with coconut oil or coconut oil spray. Combine dry ingredients and mix well with handheld mixer. Combine wet ingredients and mix well with handheld mixer. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix once more until well blended. Empty contents from bowl into piping bag or ziploc bag to disperse easily into donut pan. Fill donut pan 3/4 of the way and cook for 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and glazing. For Glaze: Mix ingredients once donuts have cooled and dip donuts to cover top. Set for 5 - 10 minutes until glaze solidifies. If glaze hardens before you are finished dipping, or if you are baking multiple batches, simply warm the glaze on low for 2-3 minutes to reuse.

I recently updated my Pumpkin Spice Donuts that we originally debuted here in 2015 and this recipe is a mouthful of fall deliciousness.
The recipe below uses almond flour and egg, I do have a nut-free, egg-free recipe for this beauties, just know it does take a few more ingredients, all easy to find, but they do take a little longer. This variation is hearty and dense. Think traditional pumpkin cake donut, while the nut-free, egg-free are small and spongy in a GREAT way. My husband actually preferred those, as they have a more traditional donut consistency, while I like the dense nuttiness of these.
When we first made these, we headed into the kitchen one weekend and just made batch after batch of donuts until we got the perfect ones. I tried a coconut flour one that was an epic fail. And then I wondered why I even baked that one because time and time again I prove to myself that 1.) I don't care for the taste of coconut flour baked goods, even though I love all other coconut products. And 2.) mastering coconut flour baking is an art form all its own. The donuts came out like little coconut egg-y soufflés. Not quite as gross as that sounded, but certainly not decadent or edible. Which are two requirements for desserts or donuts in my book.
Below, you will find the recipe for the winner. And again, for the nut-free, egg-free recipe click here. Ingredients: Donuts: dry: 2 C. Almond Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill) 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 1/4 tsp. ginger 3 TBSP. tapioca starch 2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon wet: 2 organic eggs 1/3 c. organic canned pumpkin 1/4 c. honey 4 TBSP. coconut cream or coconut whipped cream (I used SoDelicious Whipped Cream) 1 tsp. organic vanilla extract Glaze: 1 C. Corn-Free Confectioners Sugar (I use an organic cane sugar/tapioca starch blend) 2 TBSP. Vegan Butter (I use Earth Balance Dairy-Free/Soy-Free) 1 1/2 TBSP. non-dairy milk
Directions:
For Donuts: Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease donut pan LIBERALLY with coconut oil or coconut oil spray. Combine dry ingredients and mix well with handheld mixer. Combine wet ingredients and mix well with handheld mixer. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix once more until well blended. Empty contents from bowl into piping bag or ziploc bag to disperse easily into donut pan. Fill donut pan 3/4 of the way and cook for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and glazing. For Glaze: Mix ingredients once donuts have cooled and dip donuts to cover top. Set for 5 - 10 minutes until glaze solidifies. If glaze hardens before you are finished dipping, or if you are baking multiple batches, simply warm the glaze on low for 2-3 minutes to reuse. Enjoy or gift for the holidays! |
