Pumpkin Spice Baked Doughnuts with a Maple-Cinnamon Glaze (GF)

Directions

1. 1
   To make the doughnuts:Preheat your oven to 350 F (180 C) and grease your doughnut pan.
2. 2
   Mix the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
3. 3
   Combine the first 12 ingredients (oat flour through to ground cloves) in a large bowl, mixing well. In another bowl, whisk the eggs together, then add the milk, pumpkin pure, applesauce, oil and vanilla.
4. 4
   Add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.Invert the doughnut into the glaze (I coated the whole doughnut with glaze), letting the excess drip off, or drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts.
5. 5
   Whisk until well combined.
6. 6
   Let set until glaze has hardened.
7. 7
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a large wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to over mix (stop when you no longer see dry flour).Spoon the batter into the doughnut molds filling to just below the top of each mold, - to -inch (3 to 6 mm) from the top.
8. 8
   Bake for 18 to 22 minutes (see notes), until lightly golden brown around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
