2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat/gluten-free)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar/honey)
1 cup pumpkin puree (or sweet potato puree)
2 eggs (or flax eggs)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or applesauce/melted coconut oil)
2 tsp baking powder (or self-rising flour)
8 oz cream cheese (or mascarpone/ricotta)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (or sugar substitute)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease the doughnut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and any spices.
In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until creamy.
Spoon the doughnut batter into the pan, fill halfway, add cream cheese filling, then top with more batter.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and add any desired toppings.
