INGREDIENTS:

For the donuts:

• 1 1/4 cups sifted soft white wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup organic coconut sugar
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup milk (any type will do)
• organic virgin coconut oil for greasing a doughnut pan

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup of organic coconut sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp organic ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
2. Generously grease a doughnut pan with melted coconut oil; set aside.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and milk. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
4. Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan (you can use a piping bag), and bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan.
5. In the meantime, melt the butter for the cinnamon sugar coating; set aside. Mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon together in a medium-sized bowl; set aside.
6. Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture; repeat until all donuts have been covered.
7. Enjoy!
