Your morning coffee companion just got sweeter. Cinnamon Glazed Pumpkin Doughnuts, baked to perfection and loaded with pumpkin. Gluten-free, vegan, and paleo, the flavors of fall will keep everyone warm and cozy!
Remember how I said I was originally going to make some doughnuts when I got my pumpkin flour? Well I did. I just made them the next day 😉 There was no way I wasn’t going to make some doughnuts with that glorious bag of flour! And since I was already ahead of the game with gingerbread doughnuts already on the blog, might as well fill in the seasonal gap with some pumpkin ones! ‘Tis the season!
MY LATEST VIDEOSNot only will these doughnuts fill you with pumpkin-happiness, but also sweet cinnamon love too! Think a sugar-free glaze if you will, infused with the words greatest spice, cinnamon. Pumpkin and cinnamon do make one happy couple. Maybe we humans have forced them into an arranged marriage, but they seem to have grown rather fond of each other. But there is something scary I heard on the morning radio station I listen to on my way to class last week. It may just ripe pumpkin and cinnamon apart!
Apparently there is a major pumpkin shortage this year, according to farmers in Illinois (the top pumpkin producing state). They say there will be enough through Halloween, but come Thanksgiving, there may not be as much readily available canned goodness to stock up on. “Large canned-pumpkin manufacturer Libby says yields could be off by as much as a third this year in Illinois, where about 90 percent of the pumpkins grown in the U.S. come from.” (source) So, Libby’s is telling us that once the rest of the 2015 shipment is sent out, they won’t have more until the 2016 harvest comes in. Meaning…STOCK UP NOW!
I don’t mean to scare your little pumpkin-loving-pants off, but cans of pumpkin are pretty cheap, so don’t wait to buy it in the stores. Stock up the pantry (I always have at least 2 cans on hand at all times…all year). I think we’ll be fine, but maybe this will force us to try our hands at growing our own pumpkins, eh? Although, truth-be-told, I like processed canned puree, rather than homemade stringy pumpkin puree. (I know, shocking!).
At least there isn’t an apple shortage or cinnamon shortage. The world would be coming to an end if that happened! Actually, could you imagine if the shortage is due to pumpkin flour production!? I would feel bad…But I don’t think one company is killing the industry (just yet anyway). Haha! Or maybe it’s due to the fact that Starbucks started using real pumpkin in their damn lattes! Yea! Let’s blame it one them!
Since, for the time being, we have enough pumpkin, let’s bake some doughnuts! And talk about Swerve, which is a new favorite baking sweetener of mine. I’ve used it for these doughnuts and a previous recipe (yet to be posted). They use safe non-gmo, allergy-free erythritol to make some stellar zero sugar and calorie granular sugar and confectioner sugar. Here I’ll be using the confectioner sugar, mixing it with some almond milk, to create the perfect glaze!
I even told the rep at the GFAF Expo, 2 weeks ago, about these doughnut recipes I would be posting (he was someone who had no idea what a food blogger was), but yea know 😉 He gave me a Swerve spoon at least! Awkward conversation aside, I’m pretty sure these doughnuts will please pumpkin-loving people and sugar-free-sugar people all the same! O and cinnamon-lovers! Can’t forget them!
Cinnamon Glazed Pumpkin Doughnuts
- For the Doughnut Batter:
- 1½ Cups Pure Pumpkin Puree
- ⅓ Cup Pumpkin Flour
- ¼ Cup Arrowroot Starch
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 30 Drops Vanilla Stevia
- For the Glaze:
- ¼ Cup Swerve Confectioner's Sweetener
- ½ Tsp Cinnamon
- 2 TB Unsweetened Almond Milk (or non-dairy milk or choice)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the doughnut batter ingredients. Mix well until all in combined (it will be thick).
- In a well greased doughnut pan, divide the batter into all 6 molds as evenly as possible.
- Bake the doughnuts in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool completely!
- In the meantime, combine the glaze ingredients in a shallow wide-rimmed bowl, stir to combine.
- Once the doughnuts have cooled, dip the rounded side of each of the doughnuts carefully into the glaze mixture and place on a wire rack to set.
- Then...devour!
There you go my pumpkin people! Healthy, glazed, allergy-friendly baked doughnuts! (That taste good too…of course!) I feel cruel always enticing you with these sweet pumpkin goodies on a Monday, but hopefully they just make the start to your week even better (and have you craving the weekend so you can get your baking on!) But on the way home from work, it might be a good idea to swing by the grocery and pick up some canned pumpkin!
So tell me:
+ Do you always have a can or two of pumpkin on hand like me?
+ Do you actually ever dip baked goods into you coffee? No. That kinda sounds gross to me…I really don’t want soggy treats. Same with cookies. I would never dip cookies in milk. Yuck! Then the crumbs get in the liquid too and just…no! **cringe**

This is the second time I have seen you use pumpkin flour so I can’t wait another second longer! I want to order some! Do you use Amazon or another retailer? I am totally in awe!
Just use the amazon link!! You won’t be sorry!
These look so amazing. I’m pinning these so I can make them!
Great! Thanks!
These looks very tasty and simple.
Thanks!
Yum, this sounds like the perfect fall treat!
Thanks!
Looks yummy! We love our pumpkin flavors this time of year!
Of course!
Like many of us, I adore healthy treats, especially when they taste good and are good for you.
I bet!
what delicious donuts and great to find they are sugar-free too, what a bonus!
Totally 😉 Thank you!!
These look amazing and I am excited to try them. I know the taste won’t be the same, but what is the rule if you want to substitute a grain-based flour for the pumpkin flour?
Just use more of one of the other flours used!
I really want to make donuts at home. I bought a donut pan but still haven’t used it. Gah! I just need to do it!
It’s so easy and really….easier than baking cupcakes or bread in my opinion! Do it!!!
Rebecca, those donuts look soooooooooooo good! and I love that they made with pumpkin and spice mix, can imagine what was the smell! Yummy! 🙂
They do smell great! Thanks!
These look so autumny and delicious!
Thanks!
Now this looks like a real winner!
Thanks!
The cinnamon glaze is my favorite part.
Haha, it’s great!
Thank you for sharing, these sound gorgeous and will have to give them a go X
Thank you! I hope you do!
I have just discovered pumpkin desserts recently and this sounds delicious
Pumpkin breakfast, actually!
I just heard about the pumpkin shortage this week and stocked up on purée! Just told my mom, too. Yikes! These pumpkin doughnuts are perfect for coffee time, yuminess!!
Haha, there you go! Stock up!
Thank you!
Hi Rebecca,
Yum – pumpkin donuts! Might give these a try – sound perfect for the cool Fall weather.
They sure are!
Yes, yes I do dip my baked goods. Not just any baked goods though. Biscotti is best for coffee. Ok, I’d probably dip these donuts too. They would just soak up the coffee flavor and it would be amazing. Yum!! I did recently buy a donut baking tray, so I think this might be the recipe to try out first!
You must bake some doughnuts then!!!
I have so many of your recipes PINNED! ha! Thank you for your genius! 🙂
Thank you so enjoying them!
HI – I’ve just come across you via the recipe of the week link up and it is lovely! I’ve never made donuts but these look great and sooooo autumnal!
You’ll love them!
Loved the arranged marriage thought. It really made me laugh. Your doughnuts look delicious.
It’s true though 😉 Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for this recipe! Anything pumpkin is my thing right now! Printing it out now so I can try it later on 🙂
Thank you! Let me know how it goes!!
These look so delicious!
Thanks!
These doughnuts looks so delicious. And they’re healthy. Right? I mean, they have pumpkin so it’s good in my book. 😛
You could eat the whole batch and it would probably still be less calories than something you’d get at like DD!
Ok, my mouth is seriously watering right now! I can see these becoming a fall staple in my household. Yum! And pumpkin flour?!? Amazing! xoxo
I hope they DO become a staple 😉 Thank you so much dear!
I’m sipping my morning tea right now and I could sooooo use one of those donuts!! Delicious!
Doughnuts and coffee are a must!
HOLY YUM! I need these in my life, RIGHT NOW! 🙂
Yes you do 😉
Last year I pureed my own pumpkins (2 big ones) and made over 30 cups of puree, perhaps I need to do that this year to keep my own stock. I love having pumpkin on hand AND dipping goodies in coffee. This looks great, now to find that pumpkin flour!
Haha, O the baking you must have done! That may not be a bad idea to do again this year then!
This is a fantastic use of pumpkin flour! These look so good! you have outdone yourself ;p
Thank you!
Hey – thanks for sharing these on Healthy Vegan fridays! I’m featuring these doughnuts this week =)
I’m pinning this!
Thanks!
These look delicious! I’ve never heard of pumpkin flour but I’ll have to do some research and get some for myself 🙂
Thanks!
Sounds delicious! I love the pumpkin flour addition. Yum!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks!
I love pumpkin, and I love doughnuts! nuff’ said:)
Haha 😉
I bet they taste as good as they look!
The taste is even better 😉
So that pumpkin news sucks! Stocking up asap. And the only thing I ever dip into coffee is biscotti. Soggy bread creeps me out!
Also, yummy looking donuts! But that was obvious right :)?
Wet bread….gives me the shivers! Ew!
Haha, thank you love!
Whoa these look so good. I can believe there might be a pumpkin shortage though – I actually live 15 minutes away from Libby’s headquarters so hopefully they keep us Illinois people well stocked!
I would go to the headquarters and steal all the pumpkin cans 😉
I think I’m the only person in the world to not like pumpkin! However these look delicious! Mim x
These will make you a lover!
delicious doughnut recipe! I’ll have to try this one! thanks for sharing it – I love all things pumpkin 😀
Yay! Thanks!
Around here, Thursday is doughnut day… but I’m thinking about moving it up a day! 🙂 Yum!
I think you should keep it Thursday but make today “pre-doughnut day” so you can have 2 doughnut days a week 😉
Two of my favorite things…They look absolutely delicious!
Perfect! Thank you!
I do always have a can or two of pumpkin on hand. I heard the same about the pumpkin shortage so I bought 3 more yesterday and am thinking I’ll go back for more tomorrow!
Just every time you go to the store, buy one more! Haha!
Hi, Rebecca ~ These look so yummy! We make a big breakfast the Wednesday before Thanksgiving before my husband starts cooking (yep, he does most of the the cooking), and I start cleaning and decorating with the kids. These are going to be perfect for that breakfast!
These will definitely get everyone into the grateful and giving spirit!
I have been dying to make donuts lately. I might use this recipe. It looks great!
I hope you do! Thanks!
Bring on the pumpkin! I am definitely on board with the obsession. I can’t wait to try these donuts! I could really go for one right now.
I love the obsession too 😉
I’ve never even HEARD of pumpkin flour. These look SO SO GOOD. And you’re right: pumpkin and cinnamon go so well together 🙂
You need to get yourself some Jess!
I love this whole recipe Rebecca!
I’m especially taking note of the Glaze part, I never would have thought just how simple that could have been and love how you’re using that Swerve Confectioners Sweetener, which I’d not heard of until I followed your link. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you!!! Haha, yea, I loved the glaze!!! I don’t cook with sugar, but once I saw swerve, I know I could finally make a perfect sugar-free glaze!
Healthy baked doughnuts AND pumpkin flavoured????? They look perfect! I seriously need to buy a doughnut pan so I can make these 😀
Girl yes!!! You seem like a foodie who would have a pan! You need it!
Another inventive recipe with Pumpkin. The donuts sound delicious.
I know, thanks.
The last pumpkin I cooked was not stringy – definitely a good baking one. I also used my immersion blender on it to make it as creamy as possible. These look yummy! Thanks for sharing.
That’s good for you!
Hi, Thanks for this recipe. I’ve never coma across these before.
Tha thing I like about Linky Parties is that you learn a bit from other bloggers. Until now, I’ve never come across Pumpkin Flour, and after looking online, I can actually buy it in the UK.
I also come across ‘Pumpkin Spice’ a lot. Can I ask what you put in it?
Well your not going to have seen an original recipe 😛
You can see my spice mix by using the link on the ingredients list.
Great recipe for Halloween and autumn, we grow our own pumpkins, hopefully no shortage over in the UK!
Well if your grow your own, then I bet you’re golden!
A cool flour and super delicious baked doughnuts, I love this recipe!
I wish I had pumpkin puree at home all the time too, but unfortunately they don’t sell such things here in Germany 🙁
But I have pumpkin bites and sometimes homemade pumpkin puree in my freezer, because I just couldn’t live without pumpkin 😀
I shall send you some 😉
Oh yum, these look SO good! I love me a baked donut 😉
We always have a can of pumpkin stashed away, however, since iHerb stopped stocking it I’m going to have to make Jesse’s friend stash a few cans in his luggage when he comes next week haha
Yes!!! Hahaha! I think he should dedicate an entire suitcase!
You always have your hands on the coolest flours – so jealous! And so drooling after looking at the pics of these babies 🙂 I’ve never been a huge pumpkin person besides in bread or granola…but maybe that’ll change! 😉
Well doughnuts are kinda like bread…but better 😉
Oh wow, looks so delicious! I have never heard of pumpkin flour but sounds like it’s perfect for the fall season. I must get me a bag soon!
Upu should! It’s so fantastic!
These look crazy moist and crazy good!!! I totally heart about the shortage of pumpkins in IL on the radio yesterday. At least there isn’t a shortage of ideas that come out of your blog! PHEW. Amazing recipe, once again!
Hahaha! Well thank you! And there’s way more pumpkin to come so hopefully I can still stay ahead of the shortage!
So intensely pumpkin!! I love how wholesome these look, too.
Thank you!
DOUGHNUTS!!! Seriously anytime people have cakey donuts I want to eat them all!! I’m all about some pumpkin cinnamon goodness!!! Damn Starbucks for stealing all the pumpkins!!
I know! Blame the pumpkin abusers! Hahaha! Bit yea, doughnuts may be the light of our foodies lives 😉
I always have canned pumpkin on hand! It’s the worst thing ever when stores run out. I’ve never tried pumpkin flour but it sounds interesting. I’ll get some just to try these, they look so yummy!
These will have you keeping that pumpkin very close at hand 😉
These look amazing! Thanks for sharing !
Thank you!
You never have to twist my arm to try donuts. Your recipe for cinnamon donuts is very creative and I would love to try it.
Thanks!
Whoah, pumpkin flour?! Love it. These donuts look amazing.
Thank you!
I enjoy anything that combines pumpkin and cinnamon and these look delicious! I look forward to trying and sharing them this fall. Thanks!
Thanks Jennifer!
I have been eating pumpkin like crazy!!! Just bought another can 😉 I’ve also been wanting fall doughnuts lately and I’m pretty sure these would fit the bill! Going to stock up!!
I think so 😉 Your pumpkin dreams are fulfilled!
Thanks for letting me know about the shortage. I had no idea and I will stock up now.
Haha, yes! It’s the most important thing to do this week! 😛
I’m almost pumpkin-ed out after this weekend’s baking and ice cream adventures, but I pinned this one for later. I’m sure I’ll come around before the season is over. 😉
You can never be totally pumpkined out 😉 Even when you think you are 😉
I had no idea about the pumpkin shortage! Thanks for sharing the info, and the recipe for those amazing doughnuts! Need to try them out now before all the pumpkin for the season is gone!
Yes!! We need to mass produce these doughnuts before it’s too late!
I really need to get myself a doughnut pan. Right after I go stock up on pumpkin. Right now, though, I do have a spare can in the cupboard, so if I can get that pan, and find pumpkin flour, I’m good to go.
Haha, yes! Get on Amazon and order one!!!
This looks amazing, so delicious
Thank you!
These look so amazing! I need a donut pan and pumpkin flour PRONTO!
Yes you do!!!!
I’m the same way: even though I normally prefer homemade, when it comes to pumpkin puree, I prefer canned. I always have at least two in my pantry as well! These look like delicious fall treats.
You just can’t beat the perfectness that is canned pumpkin (specifically Libby’s!) Haha!
Pumpkin flour sounds awesome. Need to look for it. I seem to remember Libby’s said there was a pumpkin shortage last year. Hopefully it won’t materialize again. I’ll stuck up just in case, because these doughnuts need to be made.
It did materialize 😛 Lol!
Looks like perfection to me! And I don’t dip baked goods because I don’t want crumbs in my coffee!
I know right!!! So gross 😛
The thought of a pumpkin shortage is a little frightening, but it’s going to be even worse with this gem of a recipe floating around!
I know! Haha…maybe I should have shared this recipe a little later 😉
These look yummmy! I mean, c’mon! Who doesn’t LOVE pumpkin and donuts!
I’d like to meet someone who doesn’t 😉 They’ll be in for a long long rant!
I’ve never used pumpkin flour– so many flours to choose from but this one sounds lovely. My husband is a huge pumpkin fan so I make things like this for him, but the rest of us don’t love it, but these look good enough for non-pumpkin peeps to eat. We love a treat that is guilt free!
Lisa, these will turn you into a pumpkin-loving fiend along with the hubby 😉 Promise xoxo
I still need to get my hands on pumpkin flour! I found a bag on Amazon (Prime) this morning so I will have to get it to whip these up. The girls have been requesting mini donuts again so I was going to whip some up. I usually make mini protein ones using a gluten free, vegan, Vega protein powder. Or make them with a cake flour. I can’t wait to try some with pumpkin flour!
I almost always have pumpkin on hand! There was a year there was a huge shortage so it seemed I used it as quick as I got my hands on some but otherwise I do. I have a few cans and then when they clearance it out at Target, which they usually seem to do, I grab a lot to keep on hand and stock up for the beginning of fall if there is any left since there seems to be that time when people run to get it but they can’t quit keep up with stock the first couple of weeks and then they always seem to have stock piles of it (which is why it usually gets marked down).
Oh and cookies… only in milk/coffee if they are hard and crunchy like biscotti and not long enough to get big chunks in the bottom of my cup.
Your girls will go pumpkin doughnut crazy!!! So glad you’re ordering some!! I know you’re going to make some awesome goodies 😉
Haha, yea, well right now my grocery has like an entire aisle of Libby’s just sitting there perfectly stocked! (Maybe people by me don’t like pumpkin so much!)
I think biscotti might be okay dipped…I mean that is what it’s for…and I don’t think I’ve ever had biscotti…maybe…but I can’t remember!
Ooh, I want to make these! I have sweet potato flour on hand, do you think that is similar enough to pumpkin flour to sub in this recipe?
Anti-grain says they work similar, but it won’t have the same taste 😛 You’ll just have to wait for my sweet potato doughnut recipe 😉
Not a pumpkin shortage!?!n:o You must buy all of the cans, bake a ton of tiny donuts, freeze them, and preserve all the pumpkin flavor to last the next 2 months in donut form!!!!!! Or ya know just buy some cans and wing it 🙂 Oh and don’t forget to stock up on tiny adorable whole pumpkins too because our eyes need pumpkin nourishment as well.
Well while we can still pumpkin, these donuts are a freaking adorable way to do so! I like this pumpkin flour because it makes you do lots of delicious baking that I absolutely want to devour through the screen! Even if we did force pumpkin and cinnamon together, I think they are a a scientifically proven perfect match…they can’t get a divorce. And neither can glaze and donuts, YUM!
And no, I don’t dip any baked good in any beverage…pretty gross. But I do love milk and cookies as one snack just separate bites…or milk and brownies, even better <3
When I went to the store yesterday, I didn’t buy any canned (already have 2 in the pantry and some frozen), but I did stock up on more baby pumpkins! I placed them around the house and now I’m waiting for my mom to come back and be like…”uh? pumpkin take-over?” Hahahaha!
I know! One of the best foodie marriages 😉 (Maybe they met on the foodie-match.com I was talking about….) Hahaha!
Yes! Separate bites 😉 That’s the way!
From September to January I always have pumpkin on hand! It’s so tasty and easy to use from a can! I have maybe 5 cans now… but I’m going to add more the next time I shop 🙂 And your donuts look amazing!
When I find the big 28oz cans I stock up on those too 😉 But yea, I always have at least 2 or 3 of the 15oz!
Yum! I’m not even a pumpkin fan and these look fab! I definitely need to try your gingerbread donuts too…now that I could really sink my teeth into :).
Well…..try them both! Hahahaha 😉 Doughnuts party? 😉
now i just need to buy all the pumpkin before it runs out! These are perfect for pumpkin season! 🙂
I know!!! On a mission to buy the stores out NOW!
Oh, donuts. <3 I need these in my life! (+ I need to find my donut pan. D: Moving sucks!)
That should be your #1 priority 😉
Oh yum! These look amazing. I too prefer canned pumpkin puree!
Thank you!
Oh yes! Donuts. Pumpkin. Gluten-free. Where do I order these?!
Haha, think I should start a business 😉
