- Microwave
Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 1/2 cups super fine almond flour
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown monk fruit or allulose brown sweetener
- 1/4 cup oat fiber
- 1/4 cup butter at room temperature
- 3 eggs separated
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Glaze
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 3-4 tablespoons monk fruit or allulose powdered
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon hot water as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pure maple extract
Instructions
- To make the donuts:
- Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, oat fiber, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Give it a good whisk, then set it aside.
- Grab another bowl and whip the egg whites with a hand mixer until they form soft, airy peaks.
- In a third bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sweetener, egg yolks, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until they are just combined.
- Now, add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir by hand until your batter is smooth and well-blended.
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag (or a ziptop bag with the corner snipped off). Pipe the batter evenly into a silicone donut pan that’s been lightly sprayed with nonstick spray. You can lightly dampen your fingers to smooth the tops if needed.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool completely on a wire rack while you prepare the delicious glaze.
- To make the glaze:
- Place the cream cheese in a bowl and gently warm it in the microwave just until it softens, but don't let it melt completely.
- Stir in the maple extract, vanilla extract, powdered sweetener (adjust to your taste), and heavy cream. Mix until it's perfectly smooth. If you prefer a thinner glaze, add a little more heavy cream or hot water.
- Dip each cooled donut into the creamy glaze. Place them back on the wire rack to let the glaze set. For an extra rich coating, feel free to double-dip!
Notes
Feel free to double-dip the donuts for an extra rich coating!
