Enjoy all the flavours of pumpkin spice in these delicious Protein Pumpkin Spiced Doughnuts. Light, fluffy and packed with seasonal flavour, they’re the perfect cosy autumn treat!
Made with our Creamy Superfast Oats
The doughnuts
6 tbsp Mornflake Creamy Superfast Oats
60g unflavoured whey protein
4-6 tbsp sugar, or equivalent sweetener
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin spice
350ml water or milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
The ‘icing’
3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
2 tbsp maple syrup or equivalent sweetener
Preheat your oven to 170°C.
Add your Mornflake Superfast Oats to a blender and blend until you have a fine flour.
To a bowl, add all your dry ingredients, mixing together.
Pour in your water, then add your pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
Stir everything well so you have a smooth cake batter, then line your pumpkin moulds or cupcake tins with oil, or parchment.
Fill 6-8 of the holes in your moulds 3/4 of the way full with batter, then bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Whilst they cool, mix your ‘icing’ together in a bowl.
Once the doughnuts have cooled significantly, top each with 2 tsp of the yoghurt icing, spreading over evenly.
Top with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice.
