Ingredients
- ¾ cup whole-wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons neutral cooking oil (like avocado oil or canola oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, egg, oil and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Spoon batter into the doughnut pan, filling each slot almost to the top.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one doughnut comes out clean. Turn the doughnuts out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and butter. Cook over low heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
- Return mixture to very low heat. Quickly dip each doughnut into the glaze, then transfer to the wire rack to allow glaze to harden before serving.

Thank you for a delicious alternative for fried donuts. I substituted applesauce for the egg and actual avocado (blended with water to the consistency of oil). It was Fabulous!
