Ingredients
- For the Donuts:
- 1 cup white wheat flour or 1:1 gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted and cooled)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Coconut Butter Maple Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 6-donut pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coconut sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as the air bubbles keep the donuts light and fluffy.
- Fill the Donut Molds: Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the donut molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool completely before frosting.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a shallow bowl, mix together the coconut butter and maple syrup until smooth and silky.
- Glaze the Donuts: Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, then place them on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes to let the glaze set.
Conclusion
These vegan pumpkin spice donuts are a perfect fall treat, bursting with flavor and warmth. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy snack any time! 🍁✨
