Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spiced Vanilla Donuts
Vanilla donuts spiced with pumpkin pie spice and vanilla glaze and caramel drizzle.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free Flour Can sub in regular all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Milk or dairy-free milk
- 2 large Eggs at room temperature
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Vegetable or Canola oil
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 1/4 cups Powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 Tbsp Butter, unsalted and melted
- 1 Tbsp Light Corn Syrup
- 1/2 Vanilla Extract
- 1 - 2 Tbsp Milk
Caramel Sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Grease 2 donut pans and set aside.
- To a large bowl add the gluten-free/all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until blended.
- In a seperate bowl add milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil. Mix together then add to flour mixture.
To Fill The Pans
- Spoon the batter into the donut pans or using piping or a Ziploc bag place an empty bag into a large glass pointy tip down. Fill the bag with the batter, then snip a corner about 1-inch and pipe around the donut pan. The batter will be a bit runny.
- Bake 7-10 minutes or until a tester placed into donut comes out clean.
- Cool on wire rack.
Make the Glaze
- Combine the sifted powdered sugar, light corn syrup, the melted butter, vanilla extract and the milk of choice and stir until smooth and the desired consistency. You want the glaze to be thick but slightly runny.
- Carefully dip each donut in the glaze then place on a cooling rack to catch any drips.
- Decorate as desired with a drizzle of caramel sauce, pumpkin spice dusting, or sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles.
Notes
The donuts are best eaten the day they are made. However, you can store them at room temperature loosely covered with aluminum foil. For up to two days.
You can bake the donuts ahead of time and frost them the day of serving.
Depending on how much you fill the donut pans you may a slightly less than 12 donuts.
If adding a caramel drizzle I recommend adding that the day of serving as it can get runny when sitting overnight. The frosting and the spice dusting are fine to add a day before serving if desired.
