- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or melted refined coconut oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two donut pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, avocado oil, brown sugar, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- Transfer the batter to a zip-top bag, snip a corner, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity 3/4 full.
- Bake for 11–12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when gently tapped.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pans for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the icing, combine the brown sugar, almond milk, and dairy-free butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, then let cool for 5 minutes before using.
- Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops in the icing and let set on the wire rack.
