Pumpkin Spice All the Things
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 for all things pumpkin. So I guess it’s acceptable now for these paleo pumpkin donuts to hit the streets.
I love a good pumpkin all the things as the next person, but pumpkin 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 just pumpkin, pumpkin pie varieties usually come with added sugar.
Paleo Pumpkin Spice Donuts
The best part about these paleo pumpkin spice donuts? My husband HATES the taste of pumpkin, so more for me. I’d put pumpkin spice on everything if I could.
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. 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.
