An easy one bowl recipe perfect for fall – paleo pumpkin donuts
These cake donuts are perfect if you have a sweet tooth, like me. They are super thick and fluffy. I also like to consider them slightly healthier than real donuts since these are not fried and use much cleaner ingredients.

Recipe Details
These paleo pumpkin donuts are also gluten free, dairy free and refined-sugar free.
For the flour, I used this paleo baking flour.
You will need a donut pan for this recipe, usually you can find one for under $10 (I bought mine at my beloved Aldi’s a few years ago–well worth the purchase). If you do not have a donut pan, you may be able to make these into muffins or bars by altering the cooking time but I have not tested this personally. Let me know if you do!
These are great warm or dunked in coffee, tea or dairy free milk.
Paleo Ingredients
- Sunflower oil
- Eggs
- Monkfruit sweetener

Substitutions:
I have not tested any substitutions for this recipe. For a vegan donut, you could use a flax egg.
If you can’t find the paleo baking flour linked above, you can swap in a GF all-purpose flour substitute. Cassava flour may also work, but I have not tried personally. Let me know if you test out any swaps for this recipe – always down to try it myself!
