Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup of sugar-free sweetener. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts dense.
- Once the batter is ready, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off to fill each cavity of the donut pan about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Place the filled donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, you can dust the cooled donuts with additional pumpkin spice or a sugar-free sweetener for a finishing touch.
- Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Spice Chai Donuts with a cup of chai tea or coffee!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor and moisture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to dense, tough donuts. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cardamom or a dash of vanilla extract to enhance the chai spice profile.
- Invest in a good quality non-stick donut pan to ensure easy release and perfect donut shapes.
- Let donuts cool completely before adding any optional toppings to prevent soggy results.
- Store donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, and gently reheat before serving for the best texture.
