Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Total Time: 20 min | Servings: 6 baked donuts
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:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
- Generously grease a doughnut pan with melted coconut oil; set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy!
