Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin puree is simply cooked pumpkin that’s been blended until smooth, giving a creamy texture and rich flavor to recipes. You can make it by roasting or steaming fresh pumpkin, but canned pumpkin puree is a convenient option too. Just be careful not to mix it up with pumpkin pie filling, which has added spices and sugar—pumpkin puree is pure, unsweetened pumpkin, perfect for both savory and sweet dishes!

Ingredients
Pumpkin Dough
- 350g self raising flour
- 200g greek yoghurt
- 3 tbsp pumpkin puree

- 25g butter, melted
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix yogurt, pumpkin puree and self-raising flour. Don’t worry if the dough feels sticky at first—that’s perfectly normal.
- Transfer the dough to your work surface and finish mixing it by hand, ensuring all the flour is fully incorporated and there are no dry pockets.
- Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes to help firm it up and make it easier to work with.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each portion into a long log.
- Using a knife, cut the dough into small pieces, then roll each piece into a mini bite-sized ball. Aim for around 15 grams per doughnut for uniformity, but eyeballing is fine too.
- Line your air fryer basket with greaseproof paper to prevent sticking.
- Place the doughnut balls into the air fryer, leaving space between each to allow for rising and puffing up. Brush with a little beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Air fry the doughnuts at 200°C for 10 minutes. They may not brown evenly, but they’ll still be delicious!
- While the doughnuts are baking, prepare the pumpkin spice sugar coating by combining sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice in a bowl and stirring well.
- Once the doughnuts are ready, coat them in melted butter, then dip each doughnut into the cinnamon sugar, ensuring full coverage.
- Serve warm for the best taste, enjoying that perfect blend of buttery sweetness and pumpkin spice!
