Ingredients
2 cups ground old fashioned oats (grind into fine flour in blender/processor)2/3 cup of protein powder (I used MRM All Natural Whey; Mama Pea is vegan so she uses pea/rice proteins)2 TBSP baking powder1 tsp cinnamon1 tsp nutmeg1/2 tsp saltStevia to taste (I used two individual packets of Stevia in the Raw)1 cup canned pumpkin (pumpkin only!, no sugars, no salt)1 cup of non-dairy milk (I used almond, unsweetened)1 tsp of vanilla xtract2 TBsP of chocolate chips (Mama Pea is vegan so she uses non-dairy chocolate chips)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grind oats into flour and combine in a large bowl with protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and stevia.
In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, milk and vanilla and stir.
Add pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Spoon or pipe batter into a donut pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray or lightly greased. (If you don’t have a donut pan and want to make muffins, you can double the recipe, and add the chocolate chips directly to the batter. It should make between 12-16 muffins, but you may need to bake them a bit longer than the donuts.)
Bake for 8-10 minutes (for donut pan or 12-15 minutes if using a muffin pan), until donuts are set and starting to brown.
Allow donuts to cool in the pan for approximately 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
While the donuts are cooling, melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle chocolate evenly over cooled donuts. Allow chocolate to set before eating.
NOTE: I just put some chocolate chips on top of each dollop of batter before baking.
Serving Size: Makes 12 donuts or "muffins"
