Gluten-Free Pumpkin Doughnuts
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/4 cup of pumpkin purée, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar until fully combined
Place a mesh sifter over the bowl and add 1 1/3 cup of super fine almond flour, 1 teaspoon of coconut flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of all spice and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger into it
Carefully sift the dry ingredients into the bowl
Mix until all of the ingredients are just combined (avoid over mixing the batter)
Fill the cavities of a greased doughnut pan 2/3 of the way
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-18 minutes (depending on the size) or until golden brown and set to a light touch
Transfer the baked doughnuts onto a cooling rack to cool fully before topping
Mascarpone Glaze
While the doughnuts cool, combine 4 ounces of room temperature mascarpone with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of whole milk in a medium bowl and mix until smooth and creamy
Add 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar
Mix until fully incorporated
Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency has developed
Candied Walnuts
Set a sheet of parchment paper onto a cutting board
Add all of the ingredients into a medium non-stick skillet
Place the skillet over medium heat
As the butter and sugar begin to melt, stir constantly until all of the walnuts are completely coated
Immediately transfer the coated walnuts onto a sheet of non-stick parchment paper and separate them
Allow the candied walnuts to cool for 10 minutes
Use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush some the walnuts into smaller pieces for sprinkling over the glazed doughnuts
Assembly
Once the doughnuts have cooled, dip into the mascarpone glaze
Dip or sprinkle with candied walnuts
Allow the topped doughnuts to sit until the glaze sets up a little
Enjoy!
