Step 1: Make the Maple-Spiced Frosting

1. Soak the cashews for 2-3 hours before blending.
2. Rinse the cashews and pour cashews into a blender. Add in 2 tbsp of almond milk and blend until it turns into a creamy mix. You can add more almond milk little by little to achieve a creamy consistency.
3.  In a small pot over medium heat melt the coconut butter and stir constantly with a whisk for about a minute. Then add maple syrup and 2 (of the 4 tbsp) of almond milk, cinnamon, salt and 1 tbsp of fermented vegan proteins+ vanilla flavour.
4. Once it forms a glaze, mix in the cashew mixture and stir on low heat for 2 minutes until fully combined and creates a whipped consistency.

Step 2: Make the Maple Roasted Pepita Sprinkles

1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and make sure seeds are completely coated.
3. Spread the seeds on the baking sheets evenly, do not overlap the seeds. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.
4. Once roasted. Let them cool completely and decorate your donuts and store the extras in a tightly sealed glass jar and enjoy as a snack!

Step 3: Make Pumpkin Spice Donuts

1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease the donut pan with coconut oil.
2. Make the chia egg.
3. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
4. Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
5. Slowly mix in wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. If the mix is a little too dry, add 1 tbsp of almond milk at a time until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
6. Scoop batter into the donut pan and bake for 20-22 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and test with a toothpick to ensure they are ready! (A clean toothpick means that they are cooked through!)
