Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup almond flour (or any preferred flour)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Cooking spray or coconut oil for greasing the donut pan

Instructions
 

Prep the Donut Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a mini donut pan with cooking spray or grease with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a whisk to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for an extra treat.

          Fill the Donut Pan: Use a piping bag or a small spoon to carefully fill each cavity of the donut pan about 2/3 full.

            Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donut bites are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

              Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove the donut bites from the pan and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

                Freeze: Once cooled, arrange the donut bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until completely frozen.

                  Serve and Enjoy: These bites can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or allowed to sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly. Perfect for a quick treat or snack any time of year!
