These doughnuts are packed with protein and bursting with the cosy flavours of pumpkin spice.
The doughnuts
6 tbsp Mornflake 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.
