Equipment

10-well donut pan
Large Bowl
Wire Rack

Ingredients

Donuts

0.5 cup pumpkin puree
6 tablespoons melted butter
0.33 cup brown sugar replacement (like Swerve Brown)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
0.75 tsp vanilla extract
1.75 cups almond flour (finely ground)
0.33 cup unflavored protein powder (whey or egg white)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
0.25 tsp salt
2-4 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)

Coating

0.33 cup granulated sweetener (like erythritol, for coating)
0.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice (for coating)
0.25 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
2 tablespoons melted butter (for coating)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 10-well donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar replacement, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and well combined.
Now, gently stir in the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, until your batter is thick but easy to scoop – it should resemble a lovely, thick cake batter.
Carefully spoon the batter into each prepared donut well, filling them about three-quarters full.
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops of the donuts feel firm to the touch.
Let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the granulated sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon for your delicious coating.
Once the donuts are fully cooled, brush them all over with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then dip them into your spice and sweetener mixture. You can also simply sprinkle the mixture generously on top!
