Ingredients You’ll Need

Banana

Use one ripe banana for natural sweetness and to help create the soft, chewy texture of the donut holes.

Medjool Dates

Medjool dates add sweetness and help bind the ingredients together. Make sure the dates are pitted before adding them to the food processor.

Coconut Flour

A small amount of coconut flour helps absorb moisture and gives the donut holes their soft, dough-like consistency.

Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder

I used Promix Vanilla Vegan Protein to add protein and vanilla flavor to the donut holes. You can use another vanilla vegan protein powder, but the texture may vary slightly depending on the brand. You can use code KAILA10 to save on Promix!

Canned Pumpkin Puree

Pumpkin puree gives these bites their pumpkin flavor while adding even more moisture to the mixture.

Pumpkin Spice IQ JOЕ

A Pumpkin Spice IQ JOЕ adds an extra boost of pumpkin spice latte flavor as well as adaptogens and a jitter-free energy boost.

Sugar-Free Powdered Sweetener

Rolling the finished donut holes in sugar-free powdered sweetener gives them that classic donut-hole look and a lightly sweet coating.

How To Make No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Latte Donut Holes

1. Add The Ingredients

Add the banana, Medjool dates, vanilla vegan protein powder, pumpkin puree, Pumpkin Spice IQ JOЕ, and coconut flour to a food processor.

2. Blend Until Combined

Process the mixture until it is almost smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and sticky enough to roll into balls.

3. Transfer To A Bowl

Scoop the mixture into a bowl and use a spoon or spatula to gather it together.

4. Roll Into Donut Holes

Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth, round donut holes.

5. Add The Powdered Coating

Roll each donut hole in sugar-free powdered sweetener until completely coated.

6. Chill And Enjoy

Place the donut holes in the refrigerator or freezer until chilled and firm. Enjoy them cold whenever you’re craving a pumpkin spice treat.

Tips For Making Pumpkin Spice Latte Donut Holes

Use soft Medjool dates. Soft, fresh dates blend much more easily and help create a cohesive mixture.

Scrape the food processor as needed. The mixture is thick, so stopping to scrape down the sides helps everything blend evenly.

Chill before serving. Refrigerating the donut holes helps them firm up and makes them easier to eat.

Freeze them for a firmer texture. If you prefer a more solid, almost frozen bite, store them in the freezer and let them sit for a few minutes before enjoying.

Adjust the coating. You can use more or less powdered sweetener depending on how sweet you want the outside to be.

How To Store Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes

Store the donut holes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days.

For longer storage, place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating if they become too firm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make These Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes Without A Food Processor?

A food processor works best because it breaks down the dates and banana into a smooth, cohesive mixture. A high-powered blender may work, but you may need to stop and scrape the sides more frequently.

Can I Freeze No-Bake Donut Holes?

Yes! These pumpkin spice donut holes are freezer-friendly. Store them in an airtight freezer-safe container and thaw slightly before enjoying.

Are These Donut Holes Vegan?

They can be made vegan as written when using a vegan protein powder and vegan-friendly IQ JOЕ.

What Protein Powder Should I Use?

A vanilla vegan protein powder works best for the flavor and texture. Different protein powders absorb liquid differently, so you may need to make small adjustments to the coconut flour if you substitute another brand.
