Ingredients
  

  • 150 g pumpkin (Hokkaido/ Weight without seeds/with skin)
  • 1/2-1 tsp. coconut oil
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon turmeric for a nice golden color
  • 100 g Creme Vega (a vegan Crème Fraîche alternative)
  • 100 ml pantbased milk
  • 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 250 g (spelt) flour
  • 50 g cane sugar
  • 1 TL baking powder
  • 1/2 TL baking soda
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the coconut blossom sugar coating

  • 2 tbsp. margarine
  • 50 g coconut blossom sugar
  • 1-2 tsp. cinnamon

Or you go for a lemon glazing

  • 80 g icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • Vegan food coloring orange as an option
  • Optional: sugar beads for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200 °C/ 392 °F fan and cover a tray with parchment paper.
  • Wash pumpkin, remove seeds and cut 150 g/ 5.3 oz of it into pieces. Mix the pumpkin cubes with coconut oil and a pinch of cinnamon, spread on baking paper and bake at 200 °C/ 392 °F fan for about 10-12 minutes until the pumpkin cubes start to brown slightly at the tips.
  • Leave oven preheated at 180 °C/ 356 °F and grease donut cups with some coconut oil or margarine.
  • Puree roasted pumpkin with 1/4 tsp. of turmeric, 100 g Cream Vega, 1 tbsp. of apple vinegar and 100 ml plantbased milk in a blender.
  • In a second bowl mix spelt flour, cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, a pinch of cardamom, freshly grated nutmeg, ginger and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the pumpkin puree to the flour and spice mixture and stir quick & vigorously with a spoon.
  • Spread the dough onto the greased doughnut forms and fill in only 2/3 in each mould, as they are rising in the oven.
  • Bake pumpkin donuts at 180 °C/ 356 °F fan for about 10 minutes. Then let the donuts cool down briefly and take them out of the tin.
  • Melt 2 tbsp. of margarine. Mix coconut blossom sugar and cinnamon. Lightly brush the donuts with margarine and turn them in the coconut blossom sugar.
  • Or you can mix a glaze of powdered sugar and lemon juice and sprinkle it on the donuts. I colored half of the glaze orange with food coloring. That looks especially pretty. If you like, put additional sugar beads over the donuts.
