Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. Stir well until the mixture forms a smooth, thick batter without lumps.
  2. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or use a silicone mold suitable for donut holes to prevent sticking.
  3. Bake Donut Holes: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin or mold, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the donut holes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is unsweetened to control the sugar content.
  • You can add warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for additional flavor.
  • Store leftover donut holes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan option, confirm that the maple syrup is pure and plant-based, and no eggs or dairy are added.
  • These donut holes are gluten-free thanks to the almond flour.
