Servings: persons

15 ounces red kidney beans
1 cup unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 cup cocoa powder Guittard Cocoa Rouge
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons coconut oil if needed, for dough
1 cup coconut sugar
3/4 cup coconut cream top thick layer from can of full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon sea salt Himalayan pink
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
flaky sea salt such as Maldon, for garnish

1
First, rinse and drain the kidney beans and place them in your KitchenAid(R) Diamond Blender. Add the soy milk, coconut sugar and cocoa powder and blend together on the Mix (3) setting.
2
Then, transfer the mixture to the largest mixing bowl part of the KitchenAid(R) 3pc Ceramic Mixing Bowl Set and stir in the flour, baking powder and vanilla until the dough comes together smoothly and thoroughly mixed. If it seems a little dry, add a little more soy milk or a tablespoon or two of coconut or vegetable oil.
3
Spoon a couple of tablespoons of dough into your KitchenAid(R) Mini Doughnut Pans (fill to the top and smooth). This recipe makes approximately 16-18 doughnuts, so you'll need at least 2 Mini Doughnut Pans or make them in 3 batches.
4
Preheat your KitchenAid(R) Convection Countertop Oven on 350u00b0 F. Bake the doughnuts in your preheated Countertop Oven for 10 minutes. Let them cool for a couple of minutes in the Mini Doughnut Pan, then remove and place them on a cooling rack while you make the Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Glaze.
5
To make the doughnut glaze, simply place all your ingredients (coconut sugar, coconut cream, vanilla extract, Himalayan pink sea salt, pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice) in a saucepan from a KitchenAid(R) 7-Ply Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set over medium-high heat.
6
Bring to a rolling boil, and continuously whisk for about 10 minutes until the glaze starts to thicken, caramelize, and turn a dark brown color (be careful to constantly watch and stir, and not let the caramel burn - reducing heat to medium-low if needed). Let the glaze cool to the side for a few minutes after it's done to allow it to thicken a little more.
7
Spoon the glaze over the doughnuts on a baking sheet covered in foil or parchment paper and garnish with flaky sea salt. You can also top the doughnuts with some crushed nuts if you'd like (hazelnuts or pecans would be amazing!).
8
Note: The glaze can be made ahead of time and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It can also be reheated in the microwave. Or let it come to room temperature before glazing the mini doughnuts.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
