Mini Pumpkin & Cinnamon Sugar Donuts (Vegan)

Mini Pumpkin & Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

What is it about pumpkin and cinnamon baked goods that feels like a big, warm hug? So sweet and comforting, I just love these flavours!

And when they’re in cute mini donut form? Even better.

I was inspired to create this recipe after being contacted by (another) Aimee from Twigg Studios about a virtual pumpkin party, hosted by herself and Sara from Cake Over Steak. How could I resist joining in?

At first, I made some chocolate chip pumpkin muffins which are so good (and don’t worry, I will share the recipe for those too) but as I had some leftover pumpkin, I decided to experiment with these donuts and I’m so glad I did. One of my favourite bakes yet.

They are baked, not fried, making them  slightly healthier but also super easy to make.

I then dipped them in some vegan butter (or oil) and dusted them with cinnamon sugar, made from coconut sugar and ground cinnamon. You can also use brown sugar, which works equally well.
