Gluten-Free Harvest-Pumpkin Cake Donuts are the perfect morning treat with coffee or as dessert. Needless to say, if you love pumpkin you’ll love these.Gluten-Free Harvest Pumpkin Cake Donuts a close up picture

Who doesn’t like cake doughnuts?  In all honesty, I had some leftover pumpkin after making pumpkin waffles with cranberry syrup. Not to mention, I really dislike waste and therefore needed to create another recipe. Due to the fact that I currently have two mini doughnut pans and one full-size pan. As a matter of fact, the mini doughnut pans make 12 each and the full size make 6. For instance, This recipe makes 24 mini doughnuts and 6 large doughnuts.Small donut pan

Chef’s Notes

Many people ask where my inspiration comes from so here is what I tell them:  when she was in her last years of high school, I prayed to God to give me someplace to put all my energies since my homeschooling journey was coming to an end. Since I did not want to end up depressed lacking the feeling of being motivated on a daily basis. Needless to say, I have been writing recipes since in my 20’s but never felt like anyone would be interested in them.

However, I have had friends through the years suggest I write a cookbook. Therefore, I still needed prodding by my friends to start this blog. But, once I went grain-free, refined sugar-free and no hydrogenated fats I took to the internet. All in all, I could not find decadent and tasty recipes.  At any rate, I knew I would need to write my own recipes or I would not be able to maintain this dietary change. Friends continued to encourage me and I again took to prayer. So to make a long story short I feel I am inspired by God to write recipes. You can call God the universe or whatever you like. This is just my personal feeling.

Donut Notes:

In short, now you can also enjoy donuts just like everyone else. Read my blog posts on Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Sweetener Information if you are not familiar with these ingredients. Consequently, fall and winter are perfect for pumpkin recipes of any kind so why not donuts too. Not to mention, Cassava Flour and Monk Fruit Sweetener can be found at Amazon.

This recipe uses my homemade Vanilla Monk Fruit Sugar which can be made ahead of time and stored in the pantry. I also make coconut buttermilk from canned unsweetened coconut milk.

Use this recipe with my Pumpkin Doughnut Glaze. Or enjoy with Gluten-Free Ham and Bacon Quiche.
