Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Melt in your mouth, baked pumpkin donuts that you can enjoy year ’round! Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-free
These Baked Pumpkin Donuts are baked, not fried, and they’re lower in sugar and fat than a traditional cake donut, making them the perfect no-guilt treat! They’re easy to make, soft and tender on the inside with a serious cinnamon crunch on the outside.  Filled with pumpkin, spice and everything nice.  My recipe for Baked Pumpkin Donuts awaits…

I’m not going to lie, donuts🍩 are those guilty pleasures that I love to indulge in once in awhile, but don’t because of my youngest child’s food allergies.  Instead of feeling bad  for eating empty calories, I would feel bad that he can’t have one since they are usually made with milk & eggs then topped with all kinds of unsafe toppings. But NOT THIS TIME! There is nothing in these Baked Pumpkin Donuts that would make it unsafe, and as a bonus, they are baked so now I don’t have to feel any bit of food guilt.

Donut Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Grease donut pans with Butter substitute (or use non-stick spray and some flour).
2. In a small bowl, mix together vinegar and milk and let sit a few min to curdle.  This will make your “buttermilk”.
