l love pumpkin and I actually eat pumpkin purée year round but when fall comes it is a great excuse to get super pumpkin crazy!! So this baked donut is a delicious combo of pumpkin, maple syrup, & it is topped with coconut sugar-so yummy!! Oh and if you have been following me you know I have a big bikini photos shoot coming up so it’s also very easy to fit into a healthy diet plan. It is gluten free but if you want a different variation I have some substitutions below that you can use if you don’t want the extra protein or want to use what you maybe already have on hand. This donut is really similar to a cake donut but with much better macros. It is only 100 calories so give it a try. You won’t regret it and feel free to eat 2 or 3 like I did haha!!
Ingredients:
* 1/2 cup almond flour/meal
* 1/2 cup (equals 2 level scoops or 56 grams) Quest unflavored baking protein powder (OR use an equal amount of whole wheat pastry flour OR gluten free baking mix-you will need to adjust macros (nutrition info) on recipe if you use these FYI)
* 1/2 cup stevia for baking
* 1 tablespoon Truvia brown sugar blend (sorry forgot in picture 😬)
* 1/2 + 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
* dash of salt (also forgot in pic!)
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
* 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (plain pumpkin not pie filling)
* 2 large egg whites
* 1/8 cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla cashew milk)
* 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
* 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
* 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (if you want to save a few calories use something like walden farm maple syrup but seriously real maple syrup is worth it in this instance-yummmm)
* coconut sugar or raw sugar & additional cinnamon to sprinkle on top
Preheat oven to 375. Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray for baking and set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients in bowl with whisk.
In another bowl mix all wet ingredients with a whisk.
Add wet ingredients to dry and mix just until incorporated.
Evenly add mix to donut pan. I like to to use my fingers to pat it in bc it is easier for me to make sure it’s even but do it whatever way you want! If you wanna get real fancy you can pipe it into the pan but I’m wayyy too lazy to do that haha!
Bake for 9-10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Loosen them from pan while still warm and flip out onto parchment, wax paper, or rack
Measure maple syrup out and use a pastry or basting brush or just a spoon to evenly add to the top of donuts. Immediately sprinkle with a little sugar and lots of cinnamon 😍😍😍 Enjoy!!
FYI eat them within a day or two or store in fridge bc they have no preservatives and will go bad quick if you don’t!
