I am so excited for Fall. Summer and Fall are my favorite seasons so it's a happy/sad time of the year in this transition haha! It was a super gloomy and rainy day today here in Florida so I stayed indoors and broke out the Fall decorations and I am in full pumpkin season now. I have been making pumpkin dishes nonstop and I can not wait to share all of the recipes with you!
Ingredients
- Oat Flour - 1 3/4 cup oat flour. I use the Prozis Instant Oats Powder and it is the king of all oat flours! It acts & tastes just like regular flour and because it is so ground up, it makes your baked goods so fluffy! You can use the code KATIE10 for 10% off on their website as well.
- Protein - 40g of protein powder - I used the Truvani pumpkin spice kind.
- Pure Pumpkin Puree - Please make sure you get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling haha! You need 3/4 cup.
- Egg - 1 large egg.
- Almond Milk - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice.
- Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon
- Baking Powder- 2 teaspoons
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon.
- Sweetener - 1/4 cup of Brown Swerve, golden monk fruit, or any sugar substitute of choice.
- Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice - 1 teaspoon.
- Nutmeg - 1/8 teaspoon.
- For the Coating - Mixture of cinnamon & monk fruit, optional, if you want a sugar coating.
I love making a little cream cheese dip for these as well! Just combine some softened cream cheese with some sweetener.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Use a standard sized cookie scoop to make 28 donut holes and line them along your pan about 1/4 inch apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. In the meantime, make your cinnamon sugar mixture by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Allow the donut holes to cool enough to handle with your hands and roll in your cinnamon sugar mixture.
Nutritional Perks
Here are some awesome nutritional benefits to the ingredients in these pumpkin spice donut holes:
- Oats - Oats are full of whole grains and a type of fiber called beta-glucan, which helps with cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and helps keep you fuller longer. They are also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant plant compounds.
- Pumpkin - Loaded with vitamins (mainly Vitamin A) & antioxidants. It is also very low in calories and great for weight loss.
- Almond Milk - Almond milk is lactose free, very low calorie, and rich in magnesium, which is very important for blood sugar levels.
How To Store Leftovers
You can keep your leftover pumpkin spice donut holes in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days. I kept mine in the fridge to keep it fresher a little bit longer! I like mine to be warm, so I popped them in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
