Paleo Pumpkin Donuts
PALEO PUMPKIN DONUTS
I cannot believe how easy and yummy these are! I took one of my favorite pumpkin donut recipe and made some changes so that they are now paleo and glucose friendly. Only 8 ingredients plus the frosting!
This recipe targets:
Sugar-Free | Paleo | Vegan | Gluten-Free | Dairy Free
I LOVE when I can manage to make delicious sweet treats refined sugar-free! Helps keep the blood-sugar stable — a win-win situation for everyone. These are also easily made vegan, so very allergen friendly as well!
Ingredient list (MAKES ~6 DONUTS)
2/3 cup almond flour
1/2 cup 1:1 GF flour (I used Bobs Red Mill’s paleo 1:1 baking flour!)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (or 1/8 teaspoon baking soda)
1/2 cup coconut sugar (I used Whole Earth Sweetener’s allulose baking blend for no-sugar)
1/4 cup almond milk (NutPods makes it extra creamy!)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 egg (or flax egg)

Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray a donut pan with non-stick oil (avocado, olive, etc.). I personally love my silicone donut tray that I purchased on amazon!
Step 2
Put all ingredients into a blender, and blend them well until creamy.
Step 3
Spoon the batter into the donut pan. This recipe makes about 6 donuts. Bake them for 10-12 minutes!
FROSTING OPTIONS
Time for one of the SWEETEST parts — frosting! <3
One frosting option is the store-bought vanilla paleo frosting from Simple Mills. Spread that on the donuts, and add a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for one delicious option!
A second (sugar-free) option is an easy cream cheese (but make it dairy-free!) frosting. Here are the deets:
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of dairy-free cream cheese (I use the KiteHill Food’s brand!)
2 tablespoons of dairy free butter (I use the Miyoko’s brand)
2 tablespoons of sweetener (granulated monkfruit, allulose blend, etc.)
Directions:
Melt together the butter and cream cheese. Then whisk in the sweetener. Double or triple the recipe for more frosting. Sprinkle with pumpkin spice and/or cinnamon!
