DONUT INGREDIENTS:
100g of all-purpose flour
2 scoops of Buff Whey Fudge Brownie
20g of granular sugar or substitute
20g of Hershey’s dark chocolate cocoa powder
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp sea salt
2 eggs
160g of canned pumpkin or pumpkin puree
1 tsp of vanilla extract
ICING INGREDIENTS:
50g of powdered sugar or substitute (Swerve)
5g of Hershey’s dark chocolate cocoa powder
1-2 dashes of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
2 tbsp milk of choice
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix up all the dry ingredients to avoid clumping.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all of your liquid ingredients. It's okay if it's not a completely smooth mixture. The butter will not completely mix into the rest of the liquids, and that is to be expected.
- Add the liquid mixture into the large bowl with the dry ingredients, and use a silicone spatula to mix it all up until you have a smooth batter.
- Spray a donut pan with nonstick butter spray and fill your molds about halfway. The batter is pretty thick, so a helpful tip is to spoon the mixture into the mold and then dip your fingers in cold water to use your fingers to evenly spread the batter around.
- The batter will be sticky if your fingers aren't wet!
- Add to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- While those are in the oven, make the icing by whisking together all of the icing ingredients. You'll want to add one tablespoon of milk at a time while mixing. If you add it all in at once, it won't mix as well.
- Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Dip donuts into icing and enjoy immediately (icing will still be runny) or set in the fridge for 10-20 mins and enjoy later.
