These delicious gluten-free maple pumpkin donuts are all I need on a cold fall day. Fluffy, soft, and topped with a naturally sweet maple glaze, they are beyond delicious. Super easy to make and a lot healthier than fried donuts. The perfect treat to enjoy during the holiday season.

It is the second weekend of snow here in Colorado, and I am dreaming of all the holiday treats I will be making this season. While I cannot wait to dig into all the Christmas goodies, I have been absolutely loving the pumpkin spice. Here are some of my favorite pumpkin recipes:

• Paleo Pumpkin Donut Holes
• Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread
• Flourless Franken-muffins

I loved making these baked pumpkin bread donuts. It is a simple blender recipe, which I love making since they are so easy. They will be ready to be glazed in under 35 minutes. That means you can enjoy them in no time whenever you feel like it. It doesn’t get much better than that, right?

Well, it does! These tasty guys are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Plus, they are baked, not fried. You will get to eat two without guilt instead of just one

One of my favorite things about donuts is that you get to glaze them with whatever topping you prefer. Personally, I always use a chocolate glaze, but this maple butter glaze works perfectly with the pumpkin spice. If that doesn’t sound good to you, there is always the option to sugar-coat them or dip them in white chocolate. The possibilities are endless 😛

How to prepare these incredible maple pumpkin donuts

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a donut pan with coconut oil. I used a silicone donut pan. The silicone makes it easier to remove the donuts after baking.
2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add all ingredients and process until completely smooth. This will take around 5 to 10 minutes depending on what kitchen appliance is used.
3. Transfer batter into a piping bag for a non-messy transition and pipe into the donut pan. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
4. Let cool for about 10 minutes on a cooling rack before glazing.
5. To prepare the glaze, add maple butter into a small pan or pot and heat over low. Once the maple butter has thinned, dip the donuts and let sit for about 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
