Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Serves: 6*

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great start to your week yesterday! I spent most of the day moving at the pace of a snail after Sunday’s race! Although, I was feeling physically amazing (I am still in shock of how little pain I am in), I was drained. I got a bunch of errands done in the earlier part of the day and then around 2:45pm my body crashed and I ended up taking a nap for 2 hours! I couldn’t believe it! It felt soooo good though! ? My body obviously needed the rest! And you should always listen to your body – especially when it tells you to take a nap at 2:45pm on a Monday! :)

Today I am bringing you another fall (pumpkin) recipe! I hope you haven’t gotten sick of pumpkin yet! I don’t think I can ever get sick of it, since there are so many ways to use it! And although it is a donut, it is a healthy one! These little treats packed perfectly for me to throw in my bag and take with me! Plus, the nutrition stats on them are so amazing you can eat 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5….I mean, portion control yourself here!) and not feel guilty!

So how were they??? AMAZING!!! They were loaded with the fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg with just the right amount of sweetness! They were soft and dense like the cake donuts, so they felt more filling as well! I loved them so much that the boyfriend never even got to see one because I ate them all! Oooops! ?

*This recipe could easily make 8 donuts, however my mold only makes 6 and I was too lazy to wait for a second batch, so I filled the molds to the brim! Feel free to make 8 donuts, the calorie count will be even lower!
