Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
¹⁄₂ cup Ellyndale® Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
3 whole eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour (rolled oats ground into flour)
³⁄₄ cup Ellyndale® Sugarless Sugar™
1 ¹⁄₂ scoops NOW® Sports Organic Plant Protein, Chocolate
¹⁄₄ cup NOW Real Food® Organic Cocoa Powder
1 tsp ground coffee (optional but brings out chocolate flavor!)
1 tsp pink salt in the batter (and sprinkle some on top before baking!)
¹⁄₄ tsp baking powder
¹⁄₄ tsp baking soda
Glaze:
- ¹⁄₄ cup Ellyndale® Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 Tbsp Ellyndale® Sugarless Sugar™
- 2 Tbsp cashew or almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a bowl, combine your wet ingredients with your Sugarless Sugar™ and whisk thoroughly.
Add in your dry ingredients and combine with spoon.
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, add batter into your greased donut baking pan (or make into muffins!) and then sprinkle with some pink salt on top.
Bake at 350° F for 10 to 11 minutes.
Let cool, and the donuts will lower to a normal size before you pop them out!
After cooled, add your glaze on top and store in the fridge.
Glaze:
1. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and let sit to thicken.
2. Drizzle on donuts after they have cooled as the coconut oil will want to melt right into the warm donut.
