“The only circle of trust you should have is a donut”

See what I mean? You already want them!

But for real, there is something so delightful about biting into a doughnut. It’s like the guilty pleasure that you actually don’t feel guilty about because it’s THAT good. And, heck, with this recipe you really don’t need to feel guilty at all! These are totally paleo friendly (gluten, dairy, simple sugar free) but taste so darn good! 

 

Plus, the absolute best part of this recipe is how simple it is to make! I promise you, you’ll be making these more often than you may want! So here is the recipe:
  •  🍩 Doughnut:
  • 1 cup almond flour 
  • 1/8 cup arrowroot flour
  • 3 tbsp maple (or honey) *add more if you want sweeter, these are lightly sweet
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda 
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 🍩 Chocolate Frosting: 
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 maple syrup
  • 3/4 sifted cacao powder
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla 
  • *may need a splash of almond milk
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease doughnut pan.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well combined and no clumps.
  3. Next, whisk together all wet ingredients until very smooth.
  4. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet and mix until totally blended. Allow to sit and thicken for 5 minutes. Pout batter into doughnut pans about 2/3 high (it will rise).
  5. Bake for 15- 18 minutes. Try not to over bake (it will dry out), check by inserting a toothpick and having it come out clean. 
  6. While doughnuts are baking, mix all frosting ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. You may need to add a splash of almond milk to make it more spreadable. 

Let cool slightly before frosting!

 

I topped mine with Himalayan Salt and added diced pecans to the bottom of the doughnut pan. Once the doughnuts were cooked, I made the Pecans the top of the doughnut and drizzled chocolate on top!😋

Like I said, the whole family will enjoy these!! This photo is from our favorite chocolate ones!
