Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Creamy Cranberry Frosting {Recipe}

Ingredients (10-12 donuts)

For Donuts

• 1/2 cup Chickpea Flour
• 1/2 cup Cake Flour
• 1 cup pumpkin
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
• 4 tablespoons non-dairy butter (Earth Balance)

For Frosting

• 1 1/2 cup cranberries
• 3/4 cup apple cider
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons non-dairy cream cheese

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine almond milk & apple cider vinegar. Set aside.

Combine flours through cinnamon in a medium bowl and whisk together until combined.

Add remaining ingredients to milk mixture and mix to combine. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Spray donut pan with cooking spray. Transfer batter to donut pan using small spoon or tablespoon – stopping below the top of the center piece. This will ensure that your donut still has a hole after baking.

Place pan in oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until donut springs back when lightly touched.

While donuts are baking, simmer cranberries, apple cider, and brown sugar over medium heat in a small saucepan. Simmer until cranberries pop, then crush with a fork or potato masher. Mix together and transfer to a small bowl. Whip in cream cheese until creamy.

Allow donuts to cook completely, then use butter knife to loosen the donut edges from the pan and transfer to wire rack or plate.

Spread frosting on donuts with a spatula.
