Can I use other flours instead of almond flour?

While almond flour gives a great taste and texture, you can substitute it with oat flour or a gluten-free flour mix. However, the result may vary slightly due to different absorption rates and textures.

How do I store the leftover pumpkin donuts?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing them, and enjoy them warm when ready to eat.

Can I add frosting to the donuts?

Absolutely! Adding a simple glaze or cream cheese frosting can take these donuts to a whole new level of deliciousness.

What can I use if I don’t have a donut pan?

If you don’t have a donut pan, you can create mini-bundt cakes using the same batter. Adjust baking time accordingly, and enjoy your treat in a new shape!

Can I make these donuts ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the dough ahead of time, but for the best texture and taste, it's recommended to bake them fresh when you plan to serve.
