Ingredients
(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted refined coconut oil (or sub melted butter)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or sub any milk)
- 1 (14.6 oz) package gluten free vanilla cake mix
cinnamon sugar topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, eggs, coconut oil, and milk until well combined. Add the gluten free cake mix and whisk for about 2 minutes.
step 3
Pour batter into a piping bag or large ziplock bag. Pipe the batter into the donut pan so each cavity is filled 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 15 – 17 minutes or until donuts bounce back when touched. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
step 4
While donuts are cooling, melt the butter in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Dip each donut first in the melted butter, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture coating all sides.
