Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Donuts
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted vegan butter
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Cinnamon Maple Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2-4 tablespoons oat milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour melted vegan butter, pumpkin puree, oat milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture and stir with a large spoon until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan cavities up to the top, or use a piping bag to fill them neatly with less mess.
- Bake Donuts: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the donuts have lightly browned edges and spring back when touched, indicating they are cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While donuts bake, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons oat milk in a medium bowl. Add more oat milk one teaspoon at a time if needed to reach a runny corn syrup-like consistency.
- Glaze Donuts: Once the donuts have slightly cooled, dip each one into the cinnamon maple glaze, then place them on a wire rack over parchment paper to catch drips. Enjoy immediately or allow glaze to harden for about 15 minutes.
Notes
- For gluten-free donuts, substitute gluten free all purpose flour mix for the flour.
- You may use a neutral flavored oil instead of vegan butter, or substitute applesauce or plain vegan yogurt for an oil-free option.
- If pumpkin pie spice is unavailable, replace with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
