Made with nutty spelt flour, tons of homemade pumpkin spice and a dreamy cinnamon glaze, these vegan baked donuts are going to be your new fall favorite dessert! 


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup (154g) Spelt flour
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Ginger powder
  • ¼ tsp Allspice powder
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg powder
  • ¼ tsp Clove powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (14g) Coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp (50g) Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 tbsp (16g) Vegan yogurt
  • ¾ cup (180g) Plant milk
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar

Cinnamon Glaze

  • 3 tbsp (48g) Tahini
  • 3 tbsp (72g) Date syrup ((favorite date syrup linked below))
  • ¼ cup (60g) Plant milk
  • 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, add in the wet ingredients and whisk together. Then add in the spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk again.
  3. Finally, gently pour in the spelt flour and mix to combine. The batter will be quite thick. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. Then, spoon the batter into the donut pan, aobut 1/4 per donut cavity. I recommend filling up the donut cavity almost till full for super fluffy and tall donuts.
  4. Pop the donuts into the oven and bake for 16 minutes until puffed and golden brown. While the donuts are baking, make the cinnamon glaze.
  5. Add all of the glaze ingredients into a pot on the stove and turn onto medium heat. Whisking occasionally, bring the glaze to a roiling boil. Let it cook away at a boil for about 30-45 seconds. Then turn off the heat and continue to whisk. Pour it into a bowl and set aside to cool.
  6. Once the donuts are done, remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan and cooling an additional 5 minutes.
  7. To glaze the donuts, simply dip each donut into the glaze and twist to get rid of the excess glaze. Repeat with the rest. Top with flaky salt and chopped pecans – optional. Enjoy!
