Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made)

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour for a different texture)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Optional: Mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

    Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour and baking powder to the mixture, stirring until fully combined. Ensure there are no clumps and that the batter is smooth.

      Mold the Donut Bites: Lightly grease a mini donut pan with cooking spray. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each mold approximately 3/4 full with the batter.

        Freeze the Donut Bites: Place the filled pan in the freezer and allow the donut bites to freeze for about 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

          Remove and Serve: Once frozen, carefully remove the donut bites from the pan. You may need to gently twist or use a small knife to loosen them. If desired, garnish with mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for an added crunch.

            Enjoy: Serve the Frozen Yogurt Pumpkin Spice Donut Bites immediately. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
