Yum! These sound great! Perfect for fall.
Is there anything you can use instead of the maple extract. I can’t even find pumpkin puree or I am making it from scratch! I just moved to Geneva, Switzerland and would love to make these.
Hi! You can make pumpkin puree from scratch by baking the pumpkin. You can use vanilla extract instead of maple extract. But, you will not get the maple flavor. Also you can use actual maple syrup, you would just have to change the amount. However, you can order maple extract and even pumpkin puree (as well as anything else you can imagine) on vitacost.com. I checked and they ship to Switzerland! You can use my code https://www.vitacostrewards.com/jSMwXPi to save $10 off you first $30 purchase
I used mashed butternut squash. I had to bake several minutes longer though for some reason.
Well I hope it turned out okay!
Can u tell me the nutritional info?
Hi Jennifer, I don’t count calories sorry.
I entered the recipe into MFP and got 102 calories per donut (815 for the batch) 2 fiber, 18 carbs, 6 protein, 132 sodium and nine sugar.
They look so yummy and at 102 per donut….yes please!
Oooh! Even better
you can always fill in the ingredients yourself with an online calculator such as http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator, I believe you can use this without registering, many sites you have to register/join to use theirs.
YUMMY!!!!
Thanks vitacost
Is there an ingredient missing, like some type of flour? I made this exactly as the recipe is listed and they did not turn out at all…
I am sorry to hear that! The oats act as the flour. Others have made it with no problem.
I started thinking that too, but let them bake quite a bit longer to firm them up.
Do you think you could you substitute whole wheat flower for the oats? I’m making them for a big party and I’m wondering if the non-clean-eaters may prefer the texture if it was less lumpy from the oats? Just wanted to get your opinion before trying!
Hi Emily,
I have only tried them with oats. Maybe experiment with a small batch first and see how it goes?
