Gluten Free Pumpkin Donuts Recipe
These Gluten Free Pumpkin Donuts are so soft and fluffy, gently spiced and coated in a warming, cinnamon sugar. These easy gluten free and vegan baked donuts are perfect for cosy autumn days, ready in under 30 minutes.
Servings: 12 doughnuts
Equipment
- Spray Bottle (easiest way to grease the tin!)
Ingredients
- 130 g gluten free self raising flour
- 115 g pumpkin puree
- 75 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice (see recipe notes for recipe)
- 30 g vegetable oil (plus extra for greasing)
- 120 ml gluten free oat milk (or other dairy free milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tbsp dairy free butter (melted)
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas Mark 4 / 356F and grease two 6-hole doughnut tins with a little oil - I find spray on oil or using a pastry brush is the easiest way to do this.
- Add the flour, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin spice, vanilla essence, vegetable oil and gluten free oat milk to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk for around 1 minute until it forms a smooth batter.
- Place approx 1 tbsp of batter in each doughnut hole, then using a wet finger, smooth down the batter and ensure you can see the 'hole' in each tin still. Do not overfill.
- Bake the doughnuts for approx 8-10 minutes until well risen and they spring back to touch. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the granulated sugar and cinnamon to a lidded tub, seal the lid and shake to mix. Using a knife, gently remove the warm doughnuts from the tin and brush with a little melted dairy free butter on the top and sides.
- Roll the doughnuts in the sugar until completely coated. Enjoy while still warm.

Notes
- To make your own pumpkin spice mix: Simply mix together 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp ground cloves, 1 tsp ground allspice. Mix well and store in an airtight container.
- These are best eaten on the day of baking but can be kept in an airtight container for a day or two. You can also freeze them.
