Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Brown Sugar Glaze

  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Toppings

  • Smoked turkey bacon, crumbled
  • Chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Cinnamon sugar dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring gently until the batter is smooth, thick, and pourable.
  2. Fill Your Donut Pan: Lightly grease your donut pan with plant-based oil or non-stick spray. Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into each mold, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  3. Bake Until Golden and Springy: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Donuts are ready when a toothpick comes out clean and the surface is springy to the touch.
  4. Make the Brown Sugar Glaze: While donuts cool slightly, gently heat brown sugar, plant-based milk, natural gelling agent, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, stirring until shiny and thickened into a smooth glaze perfect for dipping.
  5. Glaze and Garnish: Dip each donut in warm glaze, letting the excess drip off. Place the donuts on a wire rack to set. Optionally, sprinkle with smoked turkey bacon crumbles, chopped nuts, or cinnamon sugar dusting for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh ground spices for maximum flavor potency.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep donuts tender and fluffy.
  • Check your oven temperature for consistent baking results.
  • Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing for best adhesion.
  • Experiment with toppings such as toasted nuts or cinnamon sugar for variety.
