Do you call them doughnuts or donuts? No matter how you spell the word, these Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts are a paleo breakfast dream!

My Paleo Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts are crazy moist, the warm, fall spices, and pumpkin flavor create the perfect fall treat. Guys, I don’t care what time of year it is, pumpkin spice rules!

Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts

It has been about 2 years since I learned about my grain intolerance. So that means it’s been about 2 years since I’ve had a doughnut. That’s no way to live life. My mom got me a couple of doughnut pans for Christmas and I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of fun treats. So far, this recipe is my favorite and am so excited to share it with you! You can find the pans HERE, they are a great price for just over $10 for a set of two!

Cooking Tips:
  • The type of pumpkin puree MATTERS! I do not like Libby’s Brand. Libby’s puree has a blend of pumpkin and other squashes. Unfortunately, this can lead to a different texture. So I use Farmers Market 100% Pumpkin Puree. I find this is a fail-proof brand, which is important in baking!
  • I highly recommend using spray to coat the doughnut pan before you place the dough in. If you don’t have any on hand, smearing coconut oil on the pan will work. I just find the doughnuts pop out much easier when I use spray. This is the kind I like: Pure Avocado Oil Spray.
  • Finally, When it comes to dipping the doughnuts in the coconut sugar + cinnamon mixture it is important to do this while the doughnuts are still warm. Let the doughnuts cool off enough so you can pick them up with comfort, but still dip them while warm so the coating sticks!

If you don’t have the spices on hand that I use in the recipe (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves), you can simply use 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice. Rather than spending the money on 4 different spices, you can get one. Although the flavors will be similar, if you have these spices at home it will be more custom-made.

    These look so fantastic! And how wonderful that they offer people with a grain intolerance a way to finally enjoy a doughnut treat once again! Terrific tips along the way, too – like about saving money with pumpkin pie spice and making sure to dip the doughnuts while they’re still warm. (And yeah … I guess I spell ’em doughnuts instead of donuts, to answer your question LOL!)

    Love that these are paleo! I make pumpkin spice donuts, but they aren’t paleo, so I’ll have to give yours a try. Also love your coconut sugar/cinnamon coating. I usually drizzle melted chocolate on mine, but a sugar coating would be so delicious! And I spell it ‘donuts’!! 😉

    Two years without doughnuts! That’s horrible. 😩 But, these are DELICIOUS! A good friend of mine just started eating Paleo, so to support her, I made a batch of these. She loved them. Thanks for a great recipe!

    I love baked donut recipes, so much easier than deep frying and these look so delicious! I also didn’t know there were differences in canned pumpkin brands so I’m going to look out for that next time!

    This is such a delicious keto option for breakfast! It’s hard to find doughnut recipes that fit that diet, and I’m so glad I found this one. The combination of flavors and the pumpkin is incredible!

    These are perfect! I can make donuts for my gluten free friends as well as for my friends on the paleo diet. This is perfect timing for me to find this post since the holidays are just around the corner, and pumpkin everything is on the menu.
