Now, I'm not going to ramble on about my life story before giving you the good stuff (the recipes) but I will tell you that breaking pretzels 🥨 to create spider legs WILL take some patience - but it's totally worth it. Lezzzgo!

Pumpkin spiced protein spider donuts

I've used our Donut base recipe from the Cook with Soph eBook! (currently on sale for Halloween)

Ingredients:

🕸 100g pumpkin

🕸 50g protein powder

🕸 50g oat flour

🕸 1/2tsp baking powder

🕸 Pinch of salt

🕸 1tsp Cinnamon

🕸 40g maple syrup

🕸 80ml egg whites

🕸 80ml nut milk

🕸 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Topping:

🎃 40g dark Lindt chocolate

🎃 12 Edible eyes

🎃 18 Pretzels

🎃 Sprinkles

Method:

1. Cut up + boil pumpkin until soft

2. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius and spray donut baking tray with coconut oil and set aside

3. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl

4. Absorb the water from the boiled pumpkin with chux cloth or paper towel, until as dry as possible then add wet ingredients and stir to combine

5. Add wet ingredients to dry and fold through

6. Pour batter into donut tray and pop into oven for 20 minutes

7. Allow to cool before topping with icing

8. Melt chocolate in microwave or in a bowl over a pot with boiling water

9. Dip donuts in melted chocolate, add eyes + sprinkles as desired

10. Break pretzels into spider leg shapes (I used the back of a knife and lightly tapped up and down the centre of the pretzel - lot's will break too small but you should get the hang of it)

11. Store in the fridge + enjoy
