Pumpkin apple cider baked donuts

I know, I know. It’s almost March so why am I posting a pumpkin recipe? Well, if you’re like me, you most likely have a few cans of pumpkin in the ole pantry just waiting to be cracked open. Am I right? It would be a shame to let them go to waste, so why not make some Pumpkin Apple Cider Baked Donuts. You’ll be so glad you did. They’re melt in your mouth good and you’d never know they’re gluten free. Just so cozy and satisfying!

I’ve always been a fan of cake-like donuts and these do not disappoint. Pumpkin Apple Cider Baked Donuts are tender on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside with the addition of a buttery cinnamon sugar topping.

If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can pour the batter into a large ziploc bag, then cut the corner.

I love the combination of cinnamon sugar, pumpkin and apple cider. All classically FALL flavors but just as enjoyable in late WINTER.

Author: Lise Ode

Ingredients

For the donuts

  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend (recipe follows)
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin

For the cinnamon sugar topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the gluten free flour blend

  • 1 1/4 cups brown rice flour
  • 3/4 cup sorghum flour
  • 2/3 cup arrowroot flour
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 1 tablespoon potato flour, plus 1 teaspoon
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions

For the donuts

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease two donut pans (6 donuts per pan) with non-stick cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
  • Place the first 5 dry ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter an sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Mix until combined. With mixer on low, alternate adding the dry ingredients and apple cider. Then turn mixer up to medium and beat for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour batter into large ziptop bag, seal and cut off one of the corners. Pipe the batter into the prepared pans. You should have enough dough for about 10 donuts. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium bowl. Set aside. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in another medium bowl. Dip cooled donuts in the butter, then the sugar mixture. They're ready to eat. Store leftover donuts (if you have any) in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.

Notes

I used my own gluten free flour blend for this recipe as listed, but if you don't want to buy all the different flours to create the blend, feel free to purchase your favorite gluten free flour to use in this recipe.

    Am I meant to use the full GF flour mix you provide? Or measure 2cups of it?

      Hi Carri,
      You would measure the amount needed for this recipe. The GF flour mix recipe makes a bigger batch than you actually need for the donuts. You will have extra.
