These Easy Baked Pumpkin Chai Spiced Donuts are the perfect Fall treat. They’re gluten-free and so simple to make.
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.
Storing
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.
These Easy Baked Pumpkin Chai Spiced Donuts are so light and satisfying that I know you’ll be making it all Fall long. I hope you give this tasty recipe a try. If you do, let me know what you think by commenting below!
