Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a donut pan well with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the buttermilk, oil, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the grated carrots and gently mix them into the batter.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into each cavity of the donut pan, making sure to only fill them 2/3 - 3/4 of the way full. You should get about 8 donuts, if you have a 6-count donut pan you will need to bake in separate batches.

Step 6

Bake for about 10 minutes at 350°F or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Remove the donuts from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until fully combined.

Step 8

Frost the cooled donuts as desired.
