Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give your donut pan a good grease with some coconut oil so the donuts don’t stick. In a big bowl, sift together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then add in the almond milk, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, olive oil, cider vinegar, and vanilla. Stir everything until it’s nicely combined.
Step 2
Pour the batter into a zip-top bag, snip off one corner, and pipe the batter into the donut pan. If the batter looks uneven, just give the pan a gentle shake or tap to help it settle. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when you poke the donuts.
Step 3
Let them cool in the pan for around 15 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take about 20 more minutes. While they’re cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk, maple syrup, and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice until the icing is smooth.
Step 4
Finally, dip the cooled donuts into the glaze to coat them, then pop them in the fridge for about half an hour so the icing can set. Enjoy!
