How to Make Pumpkin Donuts
For this recipe, you will need 200 grams (7.1 oz) of pumpkin cleaned from the skin, seeds, and fibers. Cut the pumpkin into small pieces and blend it in a mixer along with the vegetable oil. Beat the two whole eggs with sugar using an electric mixer for about 7-8 minutes until you have a light and fluffy mixture.
Add the pumpkin mixture and stir. Add the sifted flour and baking powder and mix. Finally, add the chocolate chips to the batter and simply mix with a spatula to incorporate them into the dough.
Oil the cavities of a silicone donut mold. Pour the batter into the molds, filling them 2/3 full. Bake the chocolate donuts in the preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) in static mode for 18-20 minutes.
Always do the toothpick test to check the internal cooking. Let them cool before gently removing them from the molds. Decorate as you like with some powdered sugar.
See you tomorrow with a new recipe, a hug, Loredana
