Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (210g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 0.5 cup (60g) almond flour
- 0.75 cup (150g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 0.5 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1 tbsp (8g) pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
- 0.5 cup (120ml) pumpkin puree
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 0.33 cup (80ml) melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
- 0.25 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
- 0.5g salt
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes to ensure hydration and remove the gritty texture.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag and fill donut cavities about 3/4 full.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges pull away slightly and the tops spring back when touched.
- Let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the glaze.
- Apply the glaze to the donuts while they are still barely warm to create a semi-set shell.
