These vegan baked pumpkin chocolate chip doughnuts are moist, flavorful, and perfect for autumn. Made with pumpkin puree and warm spices, they are a delightful treat for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree. 1/2 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. 1/4 tsp ground ginger. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Grease a doughnut pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
