Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Donuts
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup tigernut flour (80g)*
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour (65g)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Coating (optional)
- avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a silicone donut baking pan with avocado oil (recipe makes 7-8 donuts) and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together wet ingredients. This includes the egg, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, avocado oil and vanilla.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. This includes the tigernut flour, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the greased silicone donut pan. Each donut slot should contain about 1/4 cup batter, filling the slots about 3/4 of the way full.
- Place the silicone donut pans on a large baking sheet and pop in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Remove the donuts from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Once cooled, add a cinnamon sugar coating to the donuts. Combine cinnamon and sugar in a bowl (large enough to fit one donut). Brush the top of the donuts with avocado oil and then dip them into the cinnamon sugar coating.
Notes
*May substitute with almond flour. I recommend sifting the tigernut flour to remove any large chunks.
