Instructions
Pumpkin Donuts:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and both sugars.
- In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, and olive oil until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix to keep the donuts tender.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake 16-18 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Let cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Chocolate Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine butter, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla. Heat until butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in bittersweet chocolate until melted. Whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Dip cooled donuts into the chocolate glaze and place on a rack until set. For extra shine, dip twice!
