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)

Dietary benefits

  • Gluten-free

  • Sugar-free

  • Dairy-free

  • Paleo

  • Vegan friendly

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!
