Can I use regular flour instead of almond and coconut flour?

Using regular all-purpose flour will change the gluten-free nature of the donuts. However, if you are not gluten-sensitive, feel free to use it. Note that you will need to adjust the liquid ingredients as regular flour absorbs moisture differently.

How do I know when my donuts are done baking?

You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a donut; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it. If it comes out wet with batter, continue baking in 2-minute increments until fully baked.

Can I make these donuts ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can bake them in advance and store them in an airtight container. They can last up to three days at room temperature or a week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them for future enjoyment.

What can I use instead of coconut oil?

You can substitute coconut oil with unsweetened applesauce for a lower-fat option. Additionally, you can use melted butter or vegetable oil if you prefer.

Are these donuts suitable for kids?

Yes! These gluten-free pumpkin donuts are made with healthy ingredients and can be a fun and nutritious snack for kids. They will love the sweet and spiced flavors!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan.
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until combined. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
