Easy Baked Pumpkin Chai Spiced Donuts

Donuts are one of my favorite sweet guilty pleasures. But finding ones to pick up on a Saturday morning that are gluten-free and free nasty ingredients can be hard to find. So when my boys saw these pumpkin donut holes at breakfast one day, I told them I would make them delicious pumpkin donuts. When they came home from school, they were in for a real treat. #winning

Seriously though, these are some of the BEST gluten-free pumpkin donuts that are drizzled with a delicious chai spiced glaze. Perfect for Fall and Winter as a breakfast, dessert, or appetizer.

Swaps

Not gluten-free? No worries…use your favorite flour mix in place of the gluten-free flour. I just don’t recommend using almond, coconut, or any other paleo because the measurements and ratio will be off.

Don’t have a donut pan? Try making this into a loaf. Just bake it for about 50-55 minutes and keep an eye on it.

Tips

I used a donut pan but you can simply turn these into muffins or even waffles-YUM! To successfully transfer the donut batter into the donut pan, I found it easier to add the batter into a large ziplock bag. Twist from the top of the bag pushing the batter towards the end tips. Then, cut the tip off and squeeze it into the donut pan.

These will last in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days of simply cool and freeze with the glaze on top.

  • 1/2 tsp ground pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Lightly spray the donut pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, ground pumpkin spice, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and coconut oil.
  • In two batches, add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Whisk before adding the second batch of dry ingredients and whisk well.

  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove and cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, let’s make the glaze by adding all the ingredients into a medium bowl and whisking until smooth. Add more almond milk if needed.

  • ENJOY!
