Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree or sweet potato or butternut squash puree
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour*
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • If using a donut pan, preheat your oven to 375°F (175°C). Brush the pan with melted butter.
  • If using a donut maker, preheat your device and brush with melted butter.
  • In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin and milk. Whisk in egg. Add honey, vanilla and white vinegar and whisk to combine.
  • In another medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined (be careful to not over-mix or your donuts will be too dense).
  • Distribute evenly in pan and cook for 7-10 minutes (depending on the size of your donut pan), or according to your donut maker instructions.
  • Topping option #1: When donuts have cooled a bit, dip into melted butter and then into a mixture of ¼ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Topping option #2: Melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips** and 2 teaspoons butter. Dip donuts into this mixture.

Notes

*I use freshly ground whole wheat flour, or preferably, sprouted wheat flour.
**I use these chocolate chips
