Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute with oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup water or unsweetened almond milk

Optional Variations

  • Substitute whole wheat flour with coconut or almond flour for grain-free version
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds for superfood boost
  • Use mashed sweet potato instead of pumpkin puree
  • Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or plain Greek yogurt for peanut allergies
  • Pinch of cinnamon for gentle spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick spray for easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, natural peanut butter, egg, and water (or almond milk). Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder until evenly distributed with no clumps.
  4. Blend and Form Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a smooth, thick batter forms without lumps.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into each cavity of the donut pan, filling about three-quarters full for even cooking.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree and natural peanut butter without additives or sweeteners.
  • Introduce any new ingredient slowly to monitor for allergies or sensitivities.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • Watch your oven closely to prevent overbaking and drying out the donuts.
  • Cool donuts completely before serving to avoid burns or discomfort for your dog.
