Ingredients

Scale

Donuts:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup organic pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Icing:

  • 1/2 tbsp coconut butter
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the donuts.
  2. Mix Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs until smooth and lightly frothy, forming the base of the batter.
  3. Add Donut Ingredients: Add almond flour, organic pumpkin puree, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to the eggs. Mix well.
  4. Blend Batter: Use a blender or immersion blender to thoroughly combine the batter, ensuring a smooth, even consistency without lumps.
  5. Prepare Donut Pan: Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Then, spoon the batter into each mold, filling about 3/4 full for proper rise and shape.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the filled donut pan into the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, until the donuts are risen and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Icing: While the donuts bake, combine coconut butter, maple syrup, and almond milk in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and continue microwaving in 15 second intervals until melted and combined, then set aside.
  8. Cool Donuts: Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Ice Donuts: Dip the cooled donuts into the prepared icing to coat or drizzle it on top. Let the icing set slightly before serving.
  10. Store: Enjoy immediately or store the donuts in the refrigerator to allow the icing to harden and keep them fresh for several days.

Notes

  • Makes 5-6 donuts depending on batter distribution.
  • Use nonstick spray or grease well to ensure easy donut removal.
  • Ensure the donuts are completely cooled before icing to prevent melting.
  • Store donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Almond milk and coconut butter can be substituted with similar dairy-free alternatives for variation.
