Paleo Pumpkin Donuts

A hand holding a paleo pumpkin doughnt with a bite taken out of it.

These Paleo pumpkin donuts are the feeling and tastes of autumn rolled into a delicious baked good. The pumpkin and spices are warming and comforting, and the rich coconut caramel drizzled on top finishes out these amazing gluten free donuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Caramel (See notes)
  • 2/3 Cup Almond meal
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut flour
  • 1/2 Cup Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon (Ground)
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (Ground)
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom (Ground)
  • 1/4 tsp Ginger (Ground)
  • Pinch Clove (Ground)
  • 2/3 Cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Pre-Heat the oven to 350F and grease the donut pan with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, coconut flour, baking powder, and spices.
  3. In a stand mixer, combine the pumpkin, coconut palm sugar, and maple syrup. When this is thoroughly mixed, slowly add in the dry ingredients. After mixing, allow this to sit a few minutes to let the coconut flour absorb moisture. 
  4. Spoon dough into the donut-shaped baking pan and use your fingers to shape the dough and fill each donut mold. 
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes. They are done when they begin to look dry and begin to brown on top.
  6. Allow to cool before removing from pan, then drizzle with coconut caramel before serving.
