These 4 Ingredient Healthier Pumpkin Donuts are a simple and delicious treat perfect for fall or anytime you crave a light, flavorful donut. Made with pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, avocado oil, and self-rising flour, these donuts are baked instead of fried for a healthier twist. They have a moist, tender texture and a subtle sweetness that pairs wonderfully with a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini donuts

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp (190g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup (30g) coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp (1 fl oz/30 ml) avocado oil
  • 1 cup (135g) self-rising flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease 12 cavities of a mini muffin pan to prevent the donuts from sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, and avocado oil. Mix well until all wet ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Add Flour: Add the self-rising flour to the wet mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula until no lumps of flour remain. The batter will be thick but smooth.
  4. Scoop the Batter: Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the batter into each greased muffin cavity, filling them evenly.
  5. Bake the Donuts: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the donuts to cool completely in the pan before removing. If desired, coat the donuts with cinnamon sugar for added flavor and texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Use self-rising flour for best results. If unavailable, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to make a substitute.
  • To help cinnamon sugar stick better on the donuts, lightly brush them with a little melted butter or oil before coating.
  • These donuts are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
