Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Baked Pumpkin Donuts Loula Natural

I have been finding out about my home country in the past few month, my new and old friends have made me aware of places I have never been before. Recently my great friend Angela took me to one of her favourite places and now also one of mine!!! I saw this recipe before and so needed the donut pan to make it. I found them in Shanghai St- Thanks Angela xx

I have adapted this recipe to make it Gluten/dairy free. The pumpkin makes it incredibly moist unlike some of the really dense gluten free bread I have been making previously. You could probably also use sweet potato, but I like pumpkin as it is now in season. I have used canned but its even more tasty when you cook up the pumpkin yourself and puree it. Let it cool and its ready for the recipe.

1 cup all purpose gluten free flour/buckwheat flour

3/4 cup almond flour (optional I have also substituted coconut flour for when Eva takes them to School

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1tsp milk/water kefir

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon

1/3 cup coconut oil Pumpkin spice mix

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup oatmilk (any milk)

Preheat oven to 200c. Butter a donut pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and spices together, and set aside.

In a large bowl, or a the bowl of a kenwood mixer, fitted with the beater, whisk oil, coconut sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin, and oat milk until combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the mixture- I did it spoon by spoon and stir until just combined, do not over mix batter. Using a pastry bag, fill each donut cup with the batter. Pipe out a nice circle, not too full as they will rise up a bit. Bake for 11-13 minutes, until donuts spring back when gently pressed.

Turn donuts onto a wire each and allow to cool for a few minutes- if you can!

for coating: 2 tbs coconut oil 1/3 cup coconut sugar 1/2  tablespoon cinnamon While the donuts are cooling, put the coconut oil in one bowl, and combine the sugar and cinnamon in anther. While donuts are still warm, brush each donut with oil and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve immediately.

I refilled the piping bag and clamp both ends and put in the fridge to make another 6 tomorrow and the next day!!

I have also made these as ‘donut holes’ and they are just as yummy- if you dont have the donut pans!

 

**You can bake these a day ahead of time, and store in an airtight container. Do not coat them in the butter/ cinnamon-sugar mixture until just before served or they will get soggy- but if you are anything like me- if they are made they are eaten!! I like them warm and fresh**
