Cinnamon Glazed Pumpkin Donuts

Fall has finally arrived here in Phoenix this week. The mornings are a crisp 60 degrees and the days are cool 80’s. Perfect for flip-flops and sweaters! That probably sounds insane to those of you suffering 30 degree weather already. Speaking of 30 degrees, Mom headed back to Wisconsin over the weekend. I am free!!!

Kidding… I LOVED having her here these last few months. I told her last week in my post surgery stupor how it was a blessing we’ve been able to spend so much time together these last two years. We’ve spent more time together than we have in the last ten years combined.

As much as I needed the help and appreciated it, I felt a sense of freedom in her leaving. I almost forgot what it’s like to take care of myself. I still have a long way to go in recovery, but at least I’m headed in the right direction.

The changes in my life feel like they correspond appropriately with the change in season. Those changes, however, did not go over so well in my kitchen though. You see living in the hottest place on earth you never have to melt coconut oil. It’s always perfectly runny, ready for any and every baking expedition.

I forgot how vulnerable that weather change makes coconut oil to hardening to anything too cold like an egg because you never need a room temperature egg in Arizona.

The mere process of removing it from the fridge is enough to bring it to room temperature. The lesson is make sure all ingredients are room temperature before attempting to combine. I go through this every year. I don’t know when I will learn. Please learn from me.

Today is a special occasion! It’s not only my birthday, but it’s also my 2nd blogiversary. Yes, I started my blog on my birthday. Kind of cliche I know, but it holds a special place in my heart and for that it’s quite appropriate.

I can’t believe it’s been two years since I started this. I feel so blessed for the opportunities and amazing people I have met through this. I’m honored to have you here everyday and to thank you for that!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking oil.
  2. In a small bowl, combine pumpkin puree, egg white, coconut oil, vanilla extract and milk.
  3. Be sure egg white is room temperature, if it is too cold it will harden with the coconut oil.
  4. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and spices. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients to combine.
  5. Fill donut cavities with batter to the top of cavity. You will need to press the dough into the cavity a bit & smooth with you fingers.
  6. Coconut flour will bake the way you place it so be sure it is level and even in the pan.
  7. Bake donuts 13-15 minutes at 350 F.
  8. Remove donuts from oven, plan pan upside down on a baking rack so the donut will fall out right side up.
  9. While the remaining batch is cooking, combine the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl.
  10. Dip each donut into glaze and place on baking rack to harden.
  11. Sprinkle the donuts with a pinch of cinnamon each. Store in the refrigerator up to a week.

    Your words about forgetting how to take care of yourself really resonated with me in reference to my daughter.
    Im saving them in my brain for later.
    for when I need to slap on her wings.

  8. Happy happy birthday! And that is exciting fo ryou–to be getting back to taking care of yourself–I think that it will be super empowering for you, if a bit humbling at first. You already know that you are so strong! And if you need company, just ask me, as long as you give me a donut 😀

  41. What can I use in place of the coconut flour? And Can I use coconut sugar in place of Truvia?
    Baking in the over right now is the grain free pumpkin pie, I can’t wait to try it!

    • You could sub with coconut sugar although brown sugar would be a more equivalent flavor. On the coconut flour, you can try other flours but I’m not sure how they will change the consistency. You need something thick with the brown rice flour to hold them up.
