Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Baked Pumpkin Donuts Gluten Free and Vegan

Things come round so very quickly ,whether it be the Blog Post on a Saturday or Autumn Vibes

It doesn’t seem a year since I was knee deep in learning just to bake a cake right !!!

Only really baking since June 2017 its been a steep learning curve.

So sticking with things I new was necessary……..Pumpkin Baking this Autumn is a whole new experience……. it shows my inexperience really and well the ‘ Pumpkin Revolution’ is only just hitting the UK 😜😜

In my lifetime I’ve seen the the demise of Bonfire Night ( 5th November ) and the rise of Halloween to epic proportions, so best embrace the ‘Trend’.

Luckily my baking playgroup is littered with Halloween and Pumpkin Experts, infact I have the pleasure of my own #pumpkinqueen Melissa who can keep me right πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So as the ‘Novice’ Pumpkin user I’m here to give you a nice easy and delicious recipe to introduce to benefits of Pumpkin baking ( shhh don’t tell Melissa I’m converted )

It works fantastically with Gluten free Vegan baking, making this donuts delicious and soft, helping hydration and texture and just…………well DELICIOUS

Now if you want to debate

  1. Doughnut or Donut
  2. Baked Donuts are cake not a Donut

Then I suggest this is the wrong Blog Post for you !!!!

Off you trot…….BYEπŸ™Š

As with the S’mores Pumpkin Cake from 2 weeks ago Ive shown at the end of the recipe how to roast your own and make your own puree

I know canned is hard to come by in some places, including the UK……and if you can’t get pumpkin then Butternut squash will be more than fine ( rumour is the canned American stuff isn’t pumpkin either …….ssshhh its a secret πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚)

For those of you not having a Donut pan this is the one I use

Right lets get baking. It wont take long and you can sit back and eat these beauties with a warm cup of hot chocolate………….money is on you will russle these up on an evening and just need to finish them all πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ

After all they are part of your 5 day, full of pumpkin ( which is a fruit as i just had to Google it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚)

All singing ‘ Nigella ‘ Donuts…..Sexy and Pouting
