Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
  • 2 T oil we used avocado
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon allspice optional
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease your donut pan(s) -
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg, pumpkin, oil, and honey.
  • Add remaining ingredients and whisk just until smooth.
  • Scrape batter into a pastry bag or quart size Ziploc and snip off the corner. Squeeze the batter into the pan (each donut cavity should be about ⅔ full)
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool for a few minutes in the pan, then use a spatula to loosen the edges of each donut and turn out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before topping (see notes for topping ideas!)
  • Store leftovers in the fridge, or freeze individually on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.

Notes

  • This recipe can be doubled to make a total of 12 donuts.
  • If you want, you can add a handful of chocolate chips with the dry ingredients.
  • These pumpkin spice donuts are great as-is, but you can top with any of the following!
PALEO GLAZE
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup arrowroot starch, 2 T maple syrup, and ¼ cup coconut cream (refrigerate a can of coconut cream and use the solids on top)
CHOCOLATE TAHINI DRIZZLE
In a small saucepan, melt ½ cup chocolate chips (we love Enjoy Life Foods) and 3 T tahini.
SUGAR-COATED
Once the donuts are cool, roll in either powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. NOTE: these will no longer be paleo :)
