these gluten free pumpkin spice and everything nice plant based donuts are everything you want in a fall treat—moist, slightly dense, deliciously hearty, and packed with that cozy pumpkin spice flavor we all love.
they’ve got the perfect balance of sweetness from coconut sugar and maple syrup, while the pumpkin puree and tahini (or almond butter) make them super moist.
the texture is a bit more dense than a classic donut, but in a satisfying, comforting way.
think of them as the perfect fusion of a classic pumpkin cinnamon sugar donut with a healthier twist.
better-for-you ingredients:
what makes these donuts even better is how they’re packed with wholesome, plant-based ingredients.
almond flour and gluten-free flour provide a nutrient-dense base without the gluten, and using vegan butter and tahini keeps them dairy-free but still rich in flavor.
plus, they’re naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, which give them a more balanced sweetness than traditional donuts.
like a classic pumpkin cinnamon sugar donut:
while these donuts are healthier, they don’t sacrifice the flavors of a classic pumpkin donut.
the pumpkin spice blend adds warmth and coziness, while the pumpkin puree keeps the donuts moist without overpowering them.
every bite brings that familiar combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, making them the ultimate fall treat.
topping options:
these donuts are delicious on their own, but you can definitely take them up a notch with toppings.
you could drizzle them with a simple maple glaze, dust them with cinnamon sugar for that classic donut coating, or even dip them in melted vegan chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.
another option is a powdered sugar dusting, which adds a light sweetness without being too heavy.
storage:
to store, keep these donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
if you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to a month.
just be sure to let them come to room temperature before enjoying, or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.
whether you’re enjoying them with a cup of coffee or as an afternoon snack, these gluten free pumpkin spice donuts are sure to satisfy your fall cravings!
