Pumpkin Spice Donuts

The struggle is real when your craving a donut, but don't want to gobble up 250-450 calories in just a few bites of bliss. You can still have your donuts and eat them too- just need a donut baking pan (can get at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target or Amazon) and a few minutes to whip up the magic in your kitchen :)

Fall is my favorite season and although we are heading into Spring time (thank goodness!), I still feel that it's perfectly acceptable to honor the greatness of pumpkin, cinnamon goodness. So here is a donut that will run you about 100 calories per donut and give you a taste of that Fall spice that is oh so nice!

Ingredients

3/4 cup oat flour (OR you can blend 1 cup oats into flour if that is what you have on hand)

1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tsp Baking powder

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup will work too!)

1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened Vanilla or regular almond milk

1 large egg, beaten

1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

Coconut Sugar Sprinkle Topping (optional)
1 1/2 tsp coconut sugar
1 tsp tsp cinnamon

Directions 

Preheat oven to 350. Spray donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix all dry ingredients in separate bowl until well incorporated. Whisk egg in separate bowl and add all other wet ingredients until well blended. Then mix in wet ingredients with dry to incorporate all together until free of lumps. Pour batter into donut pan. Bake in oven for about 12-15 minutes until batter comes out clean. 

Take donuts out of pan with butter knife. Sprinkle with coconut sugar sprinkle, if desired and enjoy!!
