Soo you may have heard me talking/tweeting/instagramming about my friend Ashley‘s NEW COOKBOOK!!! As if it isn’t cool enough that the book is 100% about doughnuts (dream book, hollaaaaa) but all the doughnuts are baked (not fried) and gluten free! Currently her book is on a blog tour (you can check out the list of other participating bloggers plus extra details about the book here) and TWC is where it’s at today.
It is a beauty of a book with tonnes of gorgeous photos all styled and shot by Ashley herself. It took me a few hours (and two, full read-throughs of the book) to decide which recipe to make for this post – when faced with choosing between Maple Doughnut twists, Cinnamon Coffee Cake Doughnuts, Tiramisu (TIRAMISU!!) doughnuts and Vegan Gooey Chocolate Doughnuts, it’s kind of amazing that I managed to not end up making all of them.
But I had the pumpkin puree out (from other pumpkin food adventures) and was feeling particularly Autumn-y so I knew this recipe for Pumpkin Spice doughnuts was calling my name. Especially when I saw that there was maple syrup and cinnamon in the glaze. You can tell how much I loved the glaze from the fact I ended up completely coating all the doughnuts in it, not just dipping the tops in (whoooops!)
Notes:
– You can easily make oat flour by grinding rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine.
– I used a mini doughnut pan as I don’t have a standard sized one – I baked them for 10-12 minutes.
– You can used 2 to 2 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice mix instead of the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and clove.
– make sure your oats or oat flour are certified gluten free, if required
– sweet rice flour can be found easily online – I got mine from amazon here
Pumpkin Spice Baked Doughnuts with a Maple-Cinnamon Glaze (gluten free!)
Ingredients
For the Doughnuts:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour (see notes)
- 1/2 cup (70 g ) sweet rice flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp , (76 g) pure cane sugar
- 1/4 cup (28 g) almond meal
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp , (88 ml) milk
- 1/3 cup (82 g) pumpkin purée
- 2 tbsp (30 g) unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp (28 ml) oil
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (40 g) maple syrup
- 1/2 to 1 tbsp , (8 to 15 ml) milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
To make the doughnuts:
- Preheat your oven to 350 F (180 C) and grease your doughnut pan.
- Combine the first 12 ingredients (oat flour through to ground cloves) in a large bowl, mixing well. In another bowl, whisk the eggs together, then add the milk, pumpkin purée, applesauce, oil and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a large wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to over mix (stop when you no longer see dry flour).
- Spoon the batter into the doughnut molds filling to just below the top of each mold, 1/8- to 1/4-inch (3 to 6 mm) from the top. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes (see notes), until lightly golden brown around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Slide a thin spatula around the edges of the doughnuts to help loosen them out. Then place on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully before topping.
To make the glaze:
- Mix the glaze ingredients together until smooth. Add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Invert the doughnut into the glaze (I coated the whole doughnut with glaze), letting the excess drip off, or drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts. Let set until glaze has hardened.
Love all the pumpkin recipes you’ve been doing recently!
And these, doughnuts look incredible – so glad they’re gluten free too!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
xx
This is insane! Y have fallen head over heels for my donut pan (mostly because too clumsy and lazy to fry real one but still!)
The glaze is the best part, you so nailed that classic cake donut look.
Your doughnuts are gorgeous and major congrats to Ashley on her book! I know she must be feeling so happy now that all her hard work is paying off! Pinned!

These are the most beautiful doughnuts I’ve ever seen. Adding Ashley’s book to my to-get list!
Beautiful doughnuts! I just made the salted maple doughnuts in a mini muffin pan yesterday; they were delish, and I love that they’re gluten free!!
{ My fave thing about autumn is… hot chocolate, and also pumpkin cookies. }
These are so freaking fun! Love this flavour!! My favorite thing about fall is the fashion…boots, scarves, sweaters….love it!
My favorite thing about autumn is PUMPKIN EVERYTHING, and APPLE EVERYTHING. So much funnnsies!
Izy, only you could make doughnuts look…orgasmic. FAVORITE FOOD + PHOTOGRAPHY = BEST POST!!
I love plain glazed donuts or occasionally, a good cake or cinnamon twist 🙂
Also! my fav thing about autumn is…lazy days watching movies indoors with hot cooca 🙂
My favorite thing about Autumn — the leaves changing colors! SO beautiful. I also love the feeling of having hot cocoa inside when it’s chilly outside. 🙂
My favorite thing about autumn is the leaves!
I MAY also go overboard with glaze. How can you not?! Great post 🙂
I love the changing leaves, wearing scarves and boots, camping by a fire drinking hot cocoa:)
My favorite thing about autumn is the weather. Warm days bookended by cool mornings and evenings. What more could you ask for?!
Looks beautiful! Perfect for an autumn day!!
My favorite thing about autumn is watching the leaves change color while enjoying a nice cup of something warm and delicious!
Autumn — a season of increasingly warm sweaters, riding boots, apple cider doughnuts, pumpkin spice latte, pecan tarts, what’s there not to love? =)
PUMPKIN! easily, hands-down, my absolute favorite thing about autumn. cannot.get.enough.
Favorite thing about fall: pie makes more of an appearance in our house. 🙂
My favorite thing about autumn is definitely getting the crispiest best apples at the farmers’ market. My mouth is watering just thinking about them!
My birthday, apple picking, leaves falling, and cooler weather is my favorite thing about autumn!
Fall candles from Bath and Body works. I love them all.
Pumpkin and doughnuts, a deadly combination. Can’t wait to try! Also, my favorite this about fall has to be the aroma in the air of baked goods, the rustle of fallen leaves, and the overall joyous effect it has over me and my surroundings.
What is not to love about Fall?!? Seriously, I love it so much. I think my favourite part is the crisp air, feeling cozy inside and eating roasted vegetables. And pumpkin. Lots of pumpkin. I preordered this book for a friend’s birthday but I’d love a copy myself!!!
My favorite thing about autumn is being able to break out my favorite sweaters and hats, grabbing some hot chocolate, and taking photos of the colorful leaves.
My favorite thing about autumn is eating food like this!!
Canning for the holidays in my flannel pyjamas. Made 18 jars of plum + jalapeño chutney today. Grilled cheese sandwiches with plum chutney, here we come 🙂
fave thing about autumn…blazers!! Oh and food. duh.
The cooler weather. Your donuts look great!!
Besides my birthday, my fave Fall thing is the changing light and smell of the air.
These donuts look aaaamazing! So perfect for fall and the stockpile of pumpkin that I have been hoarding. I’m going to have to make these with the pumpkin spice coffee. Yum!
My favorite thing about Autumn is definitely everything you can make with winter veggies like the various squashes. Then pairing them with nutmeg and warm spices like CINNAMON of course 😉
Favourite thing about Autumn is the fall recipes, for sure.
*Shoving everyone aside*
Are those donuts I smell? Donuts? DONUTS!!
To say that I really like donuts would be an understatement…something about the combination of sugar, that round shape, and the satisfying carbiness about donuts just makes them so perfect in my eyes. How could they possibly get more perfect? If I could just make them myself at home!
Well, I guess wishes do come true…
Ashley’s cookbook sounds absolutely delightful so thanks for this giveaway Izy! I’m drooling just looking at my screen and thinking about tiramisu donuts. Be still my heart.
So what’s my favorite thing about fall? The weather! That’s such a cliche but it’s so true! Given that I don’t really get to experience the changing leaves in Southern California, I can at least somewhat enjoy slightly colder days. All the more excuse to drink tons of hot chocolate and load up on tasty carbs (the extra weight is to keep me warm of course…). Also, all the tasty pumpkin flavored things are an added bonus. I have a confession to make though. I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte before…but let’s keep that just between us, alright? I wouldn’t want all the PSL-obsessed bloggers out there to come hunting me down. On second thought, maybe if they hunt me down, they’ll force feed me a PSL…maybe that wouldn’t be so bad after all?
As you can probably tell, seeing tasty donuts but not getting to eat them induces a massive amount of rambling from me. I’ll go raid my pantry before this takes the format of an essay!
I love autumn for the changing colors of the leaves, cooler weather, and eating my weight in pumpkin baked goods!!! I am so excited to make this doughnut recipe!
The better question is what don’t I like about Autumn!? Definitely my favorite season: the leaves changing, the chill in the air, holidays, baked goods…
These photos are GORGEOUS and the donuts look absolutely DELISH I can’t wait to try them.
My favorite thing about autumn is definitely the food and scents. I love the aroma of freshly baked cookies filling the house after coming home from a cold walk from school. And apple pie. I mean c’mon, who doesn’t like apple pie?
🙂
My favorite thing about fall? Do I have to choose one?EVERYTHING! Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. I love the squash, the food, the weather, the warmth, the family-ness, the colors, the clothes, the, the…. well, you get the idea…
These doughnuts look amazingly delicious, by the way!
My favorite thing about fall is the crisp autumn air and colorful leaves. Fall is so romantic.
Pumpkin!!!
My favorite thing about fall is not the return of school, nor the pretty leaves, nor the cozy sweaters or the overabundance of squashes and potatoes. It’s not the apple picking, or hot chocolate, or the time spent with family and friends. Fall tends to be my favorite season because it has the most memories, the most nostalgic time of the year. Whether it be blowing out the birthday candles, or the toasty times spent sitting next to the fire, wrapped in a blanket on a chilly night, it’s always nice to sit back with a cup of hot tea and remember once the leaves start to change.
(p.s. your pictures make these donuts look like heaven and i am extremely jealous of the fact that you have such skill and the fact that you get to eat these things)
I love the brisk air, coloured leaves, and blankets with warm drinks and my hunny.
These donuts sound fantastic. I love all the autumn foods–roasted veggies, apples, pumpkin anything! Love your photos and your zany writing style.
Best part of fall is jeans and boots, pickled apples, sitting outside in the morning with coffee, and hot afternoon sun.
Cannot WAIT to try this. We are recently gluten-free, and these look amazing.
I love cooking up warm soups and dinners
These doughnuts look amazing! I love fall baking and the smell of the cool crisp air!
Pumpkin!
I love the weather! The crisp, cool air with smells of smoky bonfires…I’m not a fan of sweaty, humid summer weather at all. If it weren’t for the amazing produce, I might hate summer (no judging!).
I love all things pumpkin in the fall!!
The cool sweater weather!
My favorite thing about fall is the cooler temps. Hello, long sleeves and hoodies 🙂

Seeing as autumn is my favourite season I love a LOT about it, but three things that are the best are the seasonal food/flavours, the changing leaves, and the beautiful weather.
I love when the weather cools off and it becomes time to cool warm, hearty meals. These doughnuts look scrumptious. I love the use of different flours and that they are baked. Can’t wait to try them.

I love fall recipes with all their pumpkin and cinnamon and baked apples. This is my first autumn in Florida, and sadly, it’s still in the 80s/90s (30+ degrees Celsius) here, so it doesn’t feel anything like a normal fall. 🙁

The weather is so perfectly in the middle, not too warm, not too cold, you know? fall is perfect!
“But then fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.”
― Stephen King, Salem’s Lot
everything. absolutely everything.
Autumn-y floral dresses with black tights and black boots.
My favorite thing about autumn is running on trails in the foliage.
My favorite thing(s) about Autumn are the crisp weather and all things pumpkin! Your doughnuts look yummy. Could regular all purpose flour be substituted if I don’t need them to be gluten free?
Thanks Susan! I’ve tried making them with ap flour instead of the sweet rice flour and they’ve worked just as well a the original (oat flour is really easy to make – I’ve put it in the notes! I’d leave the oat flour in because it does contribute to the texture, and it’s healthier)

Donuts and coffee are such a great combination. My favorite thing about fall is when the leaves change colors! It was one of my favorite things to really experience for the first time when I went from Texas to Tennessee for college!
The changing leaves is definitely my favorite thing about autumn. Also, these doughnuts look beautiful and it makes my heart so happy that they are gluten free. Thanks for the post!

I absolutely fell in love at first sight with these! My favourite spices, pumpkin, and oat flour… So I took some frozen pumpkin puree out from the freezer today and got into it. I must admit though the taste and smell are great, the consistency is not as I expected. I don´t know what could have gone wrong, I followed the instructions precisely (weighted all ingredients), but the batter turned out very thin. This was probably also the reason why I couldn´t get them out of the mold… Covered in glaze, they look okay, I´m just sad they don´t look as perfect as yours.
I guess I´ll give it another chance soon. Enjoy the autumn season!
I’ve been wanting to buy a doughnut pan for quite a while, but never had a reason to. Hello Amazon! I’ll be making my order today! I’ll make them for my daughter’s birthday on Nov. 1st! (Maybe a test batch first, wouldn’t want to screw up the birthday doughnuts.) My family hasn’t had doughnuts for around 3 years since we’ve had to go gluten free. I’m looking forward to the test batch preview. I don’t know if anyone else will get any!! What I love about fall is the cuddling up under a blanket with a coffee or tea and the fall flavors of cinnamon of course, as well as nutmeg ginger and cloves.
those look soooo good!
colored leaves! particularly the red ones.
These sound awesome and I’m so up for anything pumpkin spice these days… gotta cram it all in while it’s socially acceptable, ya know?! I think all doughnuts should just be dunked completely in glaze – way to do it!! Also, your Pumpkin Spice Coffee looks pro!!
My favorite thing about fall make actually be all things pumpkin (spice). 😀
How do you pick a favorite thing about fall? I guess my first would be finally being able to wear boots, scarves, sweaters, layers, etc. I love fall fashion! Next would be pumpkin flavored everything!
Another brilliant post that has made me green with envy to your talents!
Favourite thing about autumn is definitely the change you can feel in the air with the anticipation of winter and cosy nights in…and the fact that it is perfectly acceptable to wear two pairs of tights to hide your legs from the cold!
looks amazing!
I like the cool, crisp mornings warmed with delicious pumpkin beverages!
My favorite thing about autumn is the soft chill in the air.
Can’t wait to make these donuts for my pumpkin-lovin’ husband.
I love all things pumpkin!
Girl–you need to be thinking about your own cookbook deal. JUST SAYING. (But I love Ashley’s work!)
Those look SOOOOO good!
My favorite thing about autumn is….everything!
One of the fondest memories of fall was driving through the woods of Vermont during the fall. I was sitting next to our bass playing junkie wearing dark glasses who hadn’t spoken a word in days. He woke up, lifted his glasses and murmured these memorable words. “Oh, this is beautiful.” Replaced his glasses and returned to his stupor.
Mondo,use fresh Vermont Maple syrup for your next cookie delight. Already I’m drooling.
I love the smell of a wood fire, cider and donuts….gluten free please!
I like the changing of the leaves.
The cool weather.
I love the orange leaves on the trees
My favorite things about autumn are the way the crisp air smells in the morning and the leaves changing color. And sweaters and boots and hats!
My favorite thing about fall is everything pumpkin, the changing of the leaves, and stuffing at Thanksgiving dinner!
APPLES!!!
Going to the apple orchard and nomming on honey crisp apples 🙂
I love the leaves, blue skies, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with lemon glaze in the fall.
favorite thing about fall? crisp air & the warm sun! also, apple cider donuts! 😉
my favorite thing about fall? Cool days while the sun is still shining. And how everything smells. Sometimes you can smell wood burning during the evenings and the crisp air at night. it’s not too cold but just cold enough to take out your sweater and curl under a blanket. Also, the smell of baking at home! The house is nice and toasty! As a child, i remember dark evenings at home but the house smelling like apples and cinnamon because my mom would make homemade apple sauce.
It was also the time of heavy baking in our house. warm cookies and coffee cakes! scented herbal teas! The smell is the best for me!
The best thing about fall is the excitement for the coming Christmas season!
Favourite thing about autumm: the feel.
I haven’t had a donut in years. Baked I can do, fried not so much. I would love to win.
My favorite thing about autumn is HALLOWEEN

Favorite Fall thing…cool crisp air after a long hot humid Southern Summer.

I didn’t see a question to answer, but I hope this comment counts: I love doughnuts! Baked, fried, whatever…doesn’t matter. I love them all! Especically *filled* doughnuts! 🙂
Okay….I saw the question! My favorite thing about Autumn is the cooler weather! And…Halloween, pumpkin carving, scarves, full moons, and hot chocolate!
Pumpkins are what I look forward to in Autumn, but it makes me sad that they are hard to come by throughout the rest of the year.
I love wearing chunky sweaters and tall boots and corduroys – I heart fall!!
Izyyyy I made these over the weekend in muffin form. SO DELICIOUS. I brought them to my friend and she adored them!! Even though they were in muffin form, the texture looked the exact same–the sign of an excellent recipe, I think–go Ashley! And not sure if you made up the glaze or not, but the cinnamon hit was genius!
So, has anyone made these doughnuts? I did and they came out heavy and flat like hockey pucks. I realized that there was no additional leavening beyond the eggs so I added 1/4 tsp baking powder and that helped. The batter is a bit bland, even with all the spices. I would up the spices and add more leavener. I would also change some ingredients to round out the flavor, makybe use brown sugar instead of white. Or, a bit of molasses. This recipe is on its way to being great, but for me, it’s not quite there.
I’ve already made these twice since you posted… in one weekend… and am gearing up to make them for a third time! The cookbook is already on my wishlist, I figured since I went out to buy a doughnut pan for the sole purpose of making this recipe I may as well use it some more!
Thanks for the recipe. These were delicious. I made only minor adjustments based on what is available where I live. My daughter and I agree that there is so much flavor in the donuts that plain
icing might be better—though we LOVE the maple-cinnamon glaze.
Plain glaze would be absolutely fine! (But I do looove cinnamon and maple syrup haha) 🙂 glad you liked them!
This looks delicious and I love this recipe.
