1 tsp baking soda

Place the pumpkin & sweet potato in the TM bowl & chop 5 sec / sp 8. Scrape down & repeat if necessary.
Cook pumpkin 5 mins / 100 degrees / sp 1, stopping to scrape down once during cooking time.
Add butter & blend 5 sec / sp 3 or until the butter is mostly melted.
Add sugar, milk, egg & vanilla and blend 5 sec / sp 3.Add the remaining ingredients and combine 10 sec / sp 5.
Scrape down & give a further 3 sec if required.
Using a plastic spoon (or piping bag), portion the batter into a greased donut tray or mini muffin pan & bake at 180 degrees for 15-25 mins until they are lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean / they bounce back when lightly touched.
Dust with icing sugar or cinnamon sugar to serve.
Delicious hot from the oven or cold in lunchboxes the next day – if there are any left over from afternoon tea!!

For cinnamon sugar donuts

For best results, top with cinnamon sugar while still warm.
Mix together the sugar and cinnamon on a plate or shallow bowl.
Melt butter (either in the microwave or in the Thermomix for 2 minutes / 60 degrees / speed 2).
Use a brush to lightly brush each donut and then dip into the sugar mixture. Continue to press and roll until fully coated.

For glazed donuts

For best results, allow to cool completely before adding frosting.
Add icing sugar to Thermomix bowl. Whizz for 10 seconds / speed 9 to remove any lumps.
Add milk, vanilla and food colouring (if using) and mix for 10 seconds / speed 3.
Scrape down the sides and repeat. If the frosting seems too runny, add a spoonful of icing sugar; if it seems too thick, add a drop of milk.
Either transfer to a shallow bowl and dip the donuts in, or use a spoon to pour the icing over the top of the donuts. Sprinkle over sprinkles before the frosting sets.
