Paleo Pumpkin Treats

Tis the season my friends to pumpkin all the things. The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is already on the streets, that’s like the kickoff. So I guess it’s acceptable now for these donuts to hit the streets.

I love a good pumpkin all the things as the next person, but it also packs a nutritional punch. Pumpkin is loaded with fiber, antioxidants and vitamins.

Make sure when you’re buying canned pumpkin at the store to get a variety with minimal ingredients, pumpkin pie varieties usually come with added sugar.

Paleo Pumpkin Spice Donuts

The best part about these donuts? My husband HATES the taste of pumpkin. That means I can eat all of these without him touching one.

These paleo donuts are super easy to toss together, and they are done in less than 30 minutes.

I use coconut nectar for the sweetness because it also gives it a maple-like taste without the sugar overload.  What is coconut nectar? Coconut nectar is the sap from the flowers of the coconut tree, while coconut sugar is just dehydrated coconut nectar. It’s heated just enough to thicken, but not raise the fructose levels.
