Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Donut Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.

    Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped pecans for added texture.

      Fill the Donut Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray. Spoon the batter into each donut cavity, filling about 2/3 full.

        Bake the Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

          Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Topping: While the donuts are cooling, prepare the frozen yogurt topping. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt and a touch of maple syrup until well combined. Spread the yogurt mixture on top of each cooled donut.

            Chill to Set: Place the frosted donuts in the freezer for 1-2 hours to allow the yogurt topping to firm up.

              Add Chocolate Drizzle: Before serving, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle over the frozen yogurt topped donuts for a delicious finish.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, these delightful Frozen Yogurt Pumpkin Pie Donuts are ready to enjoy! Serve immediately or keep them in the freezer for a chilled treat whenever you crave it.
