Pumpkin Donuts: Paleo, Gluten-Free and Delicious!
Due to the pumpkin, these donuts are quite moist and a little more delicate than the vanilla ones I posted the other day but gosh they are good! Next time I make them, I will try the chocolate glaze icing from this recipe.

In a medium bowl, whisk all of the wet ingredients.

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Fill the donut molds 1/2-full as they will rise.

Bake for 15 minutes. Let fully cool before removing from molds.
Original recipe from The Healthy Peaches.
For the icing
-
It's important that everything is room temperature, so that you get a smooth icing.
-
Mix all ingredients together & then spread on your donuts!
-
Use toppings of your choice! We love these Graffiti Sprinkles from Amazon!
