Keto Pumpkin Spice Donuts 🍩
Get ready to whip up some delightful, healthy pumpkin donuts!
Equipment
- Donut Pan
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
Main Dough
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree ensure it's pure pumpkin, not pie filling!
- 6 tablespoons Melted Butter for batter
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar Replacement like Swerve Brown
- 2 large Eggs at room temperature
- 3/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 3/4 cups Finely Ground Almond Flour
- 1/3 cup Unflavored Whey or Egg White Protein Powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice for the donut batter
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 to 4 tablespoons Water as needed for batter consistency
For the Coating
- 2 tablespoons Melted Butter for coating
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sweetener an erythritol-based sweetener works beautifully
- 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 10 wells of your donut pan. If your pan is smaller, you can bake these in batches.
- In a spacious bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, your brown sugar replacement, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until everything is just combined.
- Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition. You're looking for a thick consistency, much like a rich cake batter – easy to scoop, but not too runny. The amount of water needed can vary!
- Carefully spoon the batter into your prepared donut wells, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the donut tops feel firm to the touch.
- Let your freshly baked donuts cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. This helps them set. Then, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts are cooling, combine the granulated sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- Once the donuts are cool, brush both sides of each donut with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Immediately dip them into your spiced sweetener mixture, making sure they're fully coated. If you prefer, you can simply sprinkle the mixture over the donuts instead.
- Your easy, healthy pumpkin spice donuts are ready to be savored!
