Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups almond flour⁠ (120 grams)
  • 1 cup cassava flour (140 grams)
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda⁠
  • ¼ teaspoon salt⁠
  • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (210 grams)
  • 1 large egg⁠
  • ½ cup coconut oil⁠ , liquid but not hot (120 ml)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (120 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract⁠

Instructions

  • Dry Ingredients: Preheat oven to 350 deg F (175 C) and lightly grease a donut pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cassava flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk or stir ingredients to mix thoroughly.⁠⠀
  • Wet Ingredients: Add coconut sugar, egg, coconut butter, pumpkin, and vanilla extract to dry ingredients. Mix well.⁠⠀
  • Bake: Spoon batter into the donut pan, filling each cup about ¾ of the way. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut ring comes out clean. When the donuts have cooled completely, sugar or frost and enjoy!⁠

Notes

Substituting a liquid sugar like honey or maple syrup for the granulated sugar is not recommended as it changes the texture of the donuts.
Storage: Store leftover paleo pumpkin donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
