Pumpkin Donut Drops

I just had to try the pumpkin ones and I'm so glad they turned out!

Very EASY!

Pumpkin Donut Drops

In bowl, whisk together:

1 egg

1/4 cup pumpkin (pure)

1 T. sugar

1 T. veg. oil

2 T. df milk

1 T. agave nectar

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Whisk into the wet ingredients:

3/4 cup gluten-free flour blend*

1/2 tsp. xanthan gum

1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. baking soda

oil for frying

cinnamon (1/4 tsp.) sugar (2 T.) mixed in a bowl, more if needed

powdered sugar if desired

In small, 8" frying pan, fill with oil about 1/2 full.

Heat oil, adjust heat as needed.

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into oil (mine looked like chicken nuggets)

(1 donut flipped by itself and 1 swam around the whole pan, maybe they are part chicken..ha ha)

Fry about 4 at a time, 1 to 1 1 /2 minutes until browned (mine took exactly 1 min.)

Flip with slotted spoon. Fry until browned, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

Remove from pan with slotted spoon and put onto paper towel lined plate.

Repeat process. While each batch is frying, swirl 1 or 2 warm donuts around in the cinnamon and sugar mixture in a bowl. If using powdered sugar, cool the donuts first. Makes about 16.

* gluten-free flour blend

sorghum, cornstarch and tapioca

edit- I tried the powdered sugar. The sugar absorbs the oil and gets gummy so it would be better to powder them as you eat the donuts.

My dh loved them but doesn't really like gluten-free baked things except cookies.

These look yummy - I'll have to give them a try!

(Your gluten-free flour blend looks a lot like mine - I love sorghum flour)

Sounds really good. This recipe is going in my folder to make Thanks

I have never fried anything before so silly question --What do you do with the oil after you use it (cool and properly dispose of or ??)? Thank you

Thanks for the recipe!

I was using potato starch, then I went to 1/2 potato and 1/2 corn starch. Now I mostly use cornstarch b/c its cheaper and you can get it anywhere.

Someone else can answer that. I haven't deep fried anything in 25 years until this week. I used to pour cooled oil into a jar and reuse it to fry chicken. But I don't suggest doing that. I used a small pan so there is less oil left over. I pour the cool oil into a jar with a lid or a ziploc bag and toss it. There is only like a cup or so left. I used cheap oil.

Fry 1 donut first so you get the oil at the right temp. I have a propane gas stove so I guess at the temp. I miss my electric stove except when the power goes out.

Thanks for the reply. The donut drops sound really good and I have been making a couple of things lately with pumpkin so this will be neat to try as well.

You are welcome! I love pumpkin, I was wondering what to do with the rest.

My dh wants a pumpkin pie (below) just for him with graham cracker crust not gluten-free cookie crust (we are not celiac, our kids are intolerant). Or I might make more donuts or muffins or freeze it and use it in smoothies. There is alot you can do with pumpkin. I made chocolate chip pumpkin bread 2 weeks ago for my dd.

Oh that sounds good and easy compared to other recipes =)

The last two times I made a batch of pancakes to freeze I added some pumpkin into the mix and it really thickens the pancakes -- makes them an orange color but they are good. I used the rest to make lasagna which was different really pumpkin tasting (first time doing that so it is really trial and error with that). I like the pumpkin cookies that were posted on here around Thanksgiving/Christmas time.

Good Luck with the left over pumpkin -- happy cooking
