Dear Missy,

My son is allergic to cocoa powder and can't eat the choc-ful donuts.  Do you have another kid friendly donut recipe.

Thanks! –Donna

In my third book, "The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue," I have a fabulous Pumpkin Spice Donut. Here it is.

With healthiest regards,

Makes 6 muffins or 12 donuts

2 teaspoons baking powder
One-half teaspoon salt
2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or equal parts cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg)
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons walnut, canola or vegetable oil
6 tablespoons Orange Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #2 on Free Recipe Page of this website)
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
One-half cup brown sugar, packed

Optional decorations: white or orange colored frosting with orange and black sprinkles or Halloween candies

Hi Missy,

My daughter can't eat sweet potatoes. Would it be alright to
substitute pumpkin puree for the sweet potatoes in your orange puree?

Thanks, Davina

Dear Davina,

Absolutely! Good thinking. But keep in mind that pumpkin is not as sweet as sweet potatoes or yams, so you might want to increase the amount of sweetener in the recipe if it uses one.

With healthiest regards,

Missy
