As we enter this Fall/Winter season, it’s even more important to prioritize health. This means adding in extra nutrients through real and whole foods. Lots of non-starchy vegetables, healthy fats and thoughtfully sourced protein are important (like the omega-3 fatty acids found in Eggland’s Best eggs!). And being mindful of added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and processed foods. These are gluten and dairy free pumpkin donuts topped with cinnamon sugar or a maple cream cheese glaze. Roll out the red carpet, Mother Nature, Fall has arrived with every bite of these! Suffice it to say these donuts will cause the creative AND the salivary juices flowing.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet in another.
Mix wet with dry and whisk until a batter forms.
Spray donut pan with olive oil or coconut oil.
Pipe dough into donut pan. Mine is 12.5 x 8 inches and holds 6 donuts. If you don’t have a baking piper, you can put dough into a plastic bag and slice one corner off the bottom and then squeeze dough out through the plastic bag.
Bake for 15 – 18 minutes, until tops are golden brown and firm.
For the frosting: whisk together cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Dip donuts top side down into frosting.
For cinnamon sugar, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Spray top side of donut with coconut oil and then sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of donuts.
