Healthy Baked Pumpkin Donuts
Description
Healthy Baked Pumpkin Donuts start by mixing oat flour, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and warm spices including cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Apple cider vinegar and baking soda act as leavening agents, making the donuts rise slightly during baking. The batter is piped into a greased donut pan and baked at 350ºF for around 18 to 20 minutes until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
The resulting donuts are moist with a tender crumb, featuring seasonal pumpkin flavor and gentle spice notes. Coconut sugar provides mild sweetness, while oat flour contributes a gluten-free base with a subtle nutty taste. Cooling fully before removing ensures the donuts maintain their shape.
These donuts work well for an autumn breakfast, snack, or light dessert. They pair nicely with coffee or tea and can be topped with maple pecan glaze or extra coconut sugar for added sweetness.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oat flour gluten-free
- 1/2` cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted), plus extra for greasing
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/8 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and generously grease a donut pan with melted coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, pumpkin, sugar, melted oil, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, baking soda, vanilla, and vinegar and stir well until a uniform batter is formed.
- Transfer the batter to a large plastic bag (or a piping bag for frosting) and cut off one of the bottom corners so that you can pipe the batter into the donut pan. Pipe the batter into the 6 donut wells-- this should use all of the batter completely.
- Bake the donuts until they are lightly golden and feel firm to the touch, about 18 to 20 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before removing them from the pan.
- I think the donuts are easiest to remove by twisting them clockwise in the pan, to help loosen them. Then place a wire wrack or plate on top of the pan and flip it over so that the loosened donuts will release from the pan and fall on to the plate.
- Top with extra coconut sugar or Maple Pecan Glaze and serve. Leftover donuts can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
