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.
