Ingredients
  

  • For the donuts:
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon-sugar coating:
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled (or butter)
  • 1/3 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the batter:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 6-count donut pans with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
  • Fill the donut pans:
  • Spoon the batter into a pastry bag or ziplock bag and snip off the corner. Pipe the batter into the donut wells, filling them evenly. This recipe makes exactly 12 donuts.
  • Bake the donuts:
  • Bake the donuts for 12 to 13 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking, as donuts can bake quickly.
  • Transfer the donuts to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  • Prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating:
  • While the donuts are cooling, melt the coconut oil (or butter) in a small bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the cinnamon and cane sugar.
  • Once the donuts have cooled, use a pastry brush to coat each donut with melted coconut oil, then toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
  • Serve and enjoy:
  • Once the donuts are coated in cinnamon-sugar, they’re ready to be enjoyed! These donuts make a great breakfast or a sweet snack any time of the day.
