Paleo Pumpkin Donuts with a Cinnamon Glaze
These paleo pumpkin donuts are paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, simple to make, and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a donut pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients until well combined and then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients.
- Once everything is mixed, fill the donut pan until each donut is about ¾ of the way full and bake for about 17-20 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool while you mix the cinnamon glaze ingredients. Add more/less powdered sugar and milk until you get a consistency of your liking.
- Once the donuts have cooled, top them with the glaze and whatever additional toppings you like (I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and some coconut on some)! Enjoy!

I love these! Made them to take to a friend’s house for dessert, and they were a hit. I modified to go w/o icing and added dairy-free chocolate chips to the batter. These were taste-tested by 3 neurodivergent kiddos, and they all approved! Mamas know what a win that is 😍 I made an extra batch just for myself when we came home, haha. So good!

The batter before it bakes is very dry, is this normal?

These are to die for! I’ve made them 3x and everyone has loved them. If you don’t have ghee or tapioca flour like me, they’ll turn out just fine!

Love this recipe! So tasty and my husband loves them as well. 💖 Do you know how long they stay good outside of the fridge?
