Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Donuts

Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Donuts.  To quote my husband, “I could eat this entire plate right now.”  Yeah, these are that good!

They are guilt free because they are made with wholesome ingredients. So feel free to have a few.

Before we embarked on this unprocessed lifestyle, we used to get donuts from Starbucks every Saturday morning.  I think my daughter and husband have missed them the most.

So this was my way of trying to offer them a healthier option.  These are baked and made with whole grains and no processed sugars.

 

I think this picture says it all, doesn’t it?  She could not shovel them in her mouth fast enough. Haha.

    2. Is the milk ONLY used for the chocolate coating? Because you have 1/4 c milk in the section for the donut ingredients AND 3-4 T milk in the section for the chocolate coating ingredients. 4T is 1/4 C but not sure if I add the 1/4 C milk to the wet ingredients in addition to milk in the chocolate coating. In the middle of making these right now and I had to stop and ask, I tend to screw up my baking.
      1. Yes there is milk in both. 1/4 cup milk in the donuts and then 3-4 Tablespoons milk in the chocolate coating. I hope that helps clear things up.
    3. What is Flax egg replacement?!?! My daughter has a severe egg allergy and i usually replace with applesauce and I don't know if applesauce would work here... And i have never heard of flax egg replacement, is it still considered an egg product?
    4. I didn't have spelt flour so so I ended up using what I had which was gf pancake mix. Lol just wanted share that they still turned out fantastic! My daughter is devouring them as i type and we haven't even rolled in chocolate yet. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
        1. I know It's just what I keep on hand as I use it in my blueberry muffin recipe. I wasn't familiar with Spelt but looked it up and it packs a good nutritional punch, so I'll get some. Thank you so much!
