Paleo Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts with Coconut Caramel topping. Because sometimes you need an extravagant looking seasonal treat.
These Paleo pumpkin doughnuts are perfect for joining your non-Paleo friends with their pumpkin spice obsession. You'll still be eating Paleo while enjoying pumpkin spices, with actually pumpkin, and decadent coconut caramel.
I'm a firm believer that you should never deny yourself something you want. But instead of grabbing that box of cookies or that overpriced dairy concoction, rethink things. What exactly are you craving? Is there a way to still get what you want without cheating on your diet or over indulging? The answer is often yes.
I love rethinking something I'm craving. Like when I was craving Cheese Nachos and instead of caving I made Paleo style nachos using a vegan cheese sauce (don't dismiss it till you try it). I loved them and I still ate to my hearts content without adding dairy. Or like these Paleo doughnuts. I wanted doughnuts that covered both my craving for pumpkins spice and sugar.
These Paleo doughnuts fit the bill and guess what? I only need to eat ONE! They are so rich and satisfying that I only needed one doughnut to curb my craving. I was able to enjoy them for a few days along with coffee without over doing it. #love It can't get much better that that.
Use this Pumpkin Spice and this Coconut Caramel sauce.
