Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup collagen powder
- 1.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tbs tapioca flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tbs maple syrup
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ tbs avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F
- In a large bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients until blended.
- One by one, add in the dry ingredients and begin to mix.
- Mix until combined but no more than that. Don’t leave any flour at the bottom.
- Portion manually (with a spoon) into a silicone donut mild. You’ll need to scoop the batter as it’s pretty thick.
- Shape and smooth them out with a silicone spatula.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then turn the oven off and let them sit for another 10.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool fully before removing them from their molds.
- Enjoy them as is or top them with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
- The pumpkin donut batter is pretty thick once it sits for a minute so you’ll need to manually shape the donuts. Take the time to smooth out the tops. Trust me, they bake batter this way.
- If you can, lift the filled donut molds up and place them firmly back down on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Don’t try to remove the baked pumpkin donuts from the molds before they’re completely cooled. They’ll just fall apart.
- Cooking them at a lower temperature for longer and then letting them sit in the oven makes it so that the donuts don't burn on the bottom of the mold.
- The gluten-free donuts firm up a bit in the fridge and get a chewier texture.
- Make sure that the protein powder you use is paleo-approved if that's what you need.
