Ingredients

½ cup mochiko flour, sweet rice or glutinous rice flour
½ cup almond flour, blanched see note*
⅓ cup granulated sugar of choice**
2 large large eggs
1 Tbsp light olive oil or melted coconut oil
⅓ cup pumpkin puree fresh or canned
1 tsp cinnamon powder

Glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp maple extract
2-3 tsp water or milk

Instructions

Use a whisk to stir all the ingredients together until well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Use a ¼ cup measuring cup or large spoon to portion the batter into a well-greased donut pan (nonstick spray works well). FIll to ¾ full. ***
Bake in a 350F preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes (about 20-22 minutes for silicone donut pan), or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool before glazing
Mix the glaze ingredients together and dip the donuts into the glaze

Notes

*You can also use other flour substitutes (oat, coconut, whole wheat flour) in this recipe, as well as use more mochiko flour to increase chewiness. Be sure to refer to my Mochi Donut Experiment to read how the results differ!

**I used dehydrated honey (honey powder) for this recipe, but coconut, date and maple sugars are less processed granulated sugars I would also recommend. Please do note that these darker sugars do make the donuts look darker. For lower carb options, you can also use sugar-free sweeteners such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia (but you’ll have to convert according to package instructions).

***I used olive oil cooking spray to grease my donut pan. If you don’t have olive oil cooking spray you can use other vegetable oil sprays or melted coconut oil.
