So, we're setting new goals. We're trying to find a doughnut that can live up to this mythical, magical category that is just begging for a sweet treat. And, if you are lucky enough to have family around this holiday weekend, we believe we have found the perfect fall breakfast doughnut. These butternut squash blueberry doughnuts will make you want to hold on to fall for just a few more days before we quickly move on to the Christmas season.

Try them out and tell us what you think. We hope you love the taste and feel magical while eating them!
How to Make
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate small bowl mix oat milk and apple cider vinegar together and side aside for 5 minutes.
Add the butternut squash purée, yogurt, melted coconut oil to the large bowl with the apple cider vinegar and oat milk. Mix well before pouring the liquid mix into dry mixture. Mix in the blueberries, then sit aside for 10 minutes for the batter to expand slightly.
Oil donut baking tray and pour batter into the molds. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Check to be sure a fork or skewer comes out clean without liquid batter.
Remove from molds after a minute or so out of the oven so they remain crispy on the outside. Allow to cool on baking tray when done.
