20 mins prepServes 6
Fluffy, easy, and delicious pumpkin donuts perfect for fall, ideal to pair with your favorite tea or coffee. This recipe offers both a yogurt-based frosting and a powdered sugar glaze option.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp ground flax with 3 tbsp water and set aside to thicken.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients for the donuts (oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice, 0.5 tbsp cinnamon, salt, 1/3 cup coconut sugar).
Add in the wet ingredients (flax egg, 1/3 cup pumpkin purée, 1/4 cup plant milk, apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp vanilla extract) to the dry ingredients and mix until a batter forms.
Pour or spoon the batter into donut pans and bake for about 10-12 minutes at 350°F.
While donuts cool, prepare your chosen topping:
Option 1 - Pumpkin Yogurt “frosting”: Mix 1 cup thick plant-based yogurt, 1 tbsp pumpkin purée, a dash of vanilla extract, and coconut sugar to taste (add 1 tbsp at a time until desired sweetness).
Option 2 - Pumpkin Glaze: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tbsp pumpkin purée, 1 tbsp plant milk, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
Top your cooled donuts with the frosting or glaze. (If using the frosting, it is best to add it the day you are going to eat them).
Dust with more cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice if desired.
Enjoy!
