    One more before I head off to a small break. These easy Pumpkin donuts are quick to put together and bake up beautifully. Make the batter, get the family involved in squeezing it out into the doughnut pan. Bake, add toppings of choice. I use a simple cinnamon sugar topping. a pumpkin pie spiced glaze or Cream cheese glaze would work wonderfully as well.  These Baked doughnuts taste like fried! Try them.

    This elegant aging puffball has kept us on our toes this year. He is one smart bum and has opinions on many things. I am grateful that his cough has finally broken after 5 weeks and he is feeling his chirpy (and demanding) self again, loving long walks, waking us up early, expressing his opinion loud and clear. Keeping our fingers crossed that the cough and inflammation stay at bay. I am thankful for family, who supports us in so many ways whether some understand our choices or not. I am thankful to have this platform to share some fun creations, to have you all who visit, try them and leave wonderful notes. You are amazing!

    Ingredients

    Wet:

    • 1/2 cup (122 ml) non dairy milk such as almond or soy
    • 1/3 cup (2.88 oz) pumpkin puree
    • 4 tbsp sugar
    • 1 tsp active yeast
    • 2 tbsp safflower or refined coconut oil
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract (1/2 to 1 tsp to flavor preference)
    • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    • a generous pinch of nutmeg

    Dry:

    • 3/4 cup (93.75 g) unbleached all purpose flour + 1 to 2 tbsp more as needed
    • 2 tbsp almond flour or use 1 tbsp more flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp (0.25 tsp) salt

    Cinnamon Sugar:

    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 4 tbsp cane sugar or granulated sugar

    Instructions

    • Grease the donut pan. Warm the non dairy milk until hot. Mix with the rest of the ingredients except yeast and mix well until sugar is combined. Add the yeast and mix in. 
    • In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup flour and rest of the dry ingredients. Add the flour mix to the wet and mix in. Add a tbsp or so more flour if needed (if the mix is runny). Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes.
    • Spoon into greased donut pan. You can also fill up a ziplock, cut one end and squeeze the batter into the pan. Let the pan sit for another 10 minutes for the batter to rise, Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    • Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes then remove from pan.
    • Add cinnamon and sugar to a small ziplock bag and mix. Take the warm donuts, add to the ziplock, shake. Remove from the ziplock and serve. You can also use a bowl to make the cinnamon sugar topping, and dip the donuts in the bowl to coat. The warm donuts are moist enough so the topping should stick. If you'd like more topping, brush oil on the donuts before dipping.

    Notes

    To make these gluten-free: mix 1/4 cup rice flour, 3 tbsp potato starch and 1/2 cup almond flour. Use 3/4 cup of the mix, then add more as needed to make a slightly thick batter. (add more almond flour if the batter is too runny). Drop the batter into well greased donut pan. Cover lightly with parchment when baking.

        Nope. Glutenfree already will dry out a bit and need the extra moisture. You can do away witb yeast, but keep the oil and definitely add an icing
