One-bowl paleo pumpkin donuts with a sweet potato frosting that is sugar-free and vegan!

So about two weekends ago, Jared and I decided to travel all through Williamsburg, over the bridge (thanks to the L train being shut down!), and to Donut Plant to try some of their amazing donuts. We got a pumpkin spice, an apple spice, and a marcona almond donut- two people, three donuts, seems about right! Ha!

Needless to say, they were heavenly, and I’ve been thinking about them ever since, so I needed to make even more donuts to satisfy that craving! But, seeing as I’m super lazy during the week and just want things to be one step, I decided there were probably more people in the world like me that could use a super simple recipe that still tastes amazing!

Yep, they’re just one bowl, one blender, and one pan! All you need:

Birchbenders Paleo Pumpkin Pancake Mix

Pumpkin Puree

Coconut Flour

Sweet Potato

Coconut Butter

Chai Spices

One thing that I noticed about the frosting is that it blends much easier when the sweet potato is still slightly warm (also helps to melt the coconut butter!). It’s also a great frosting that can be used as icing on pumpkin brownies or even as a “syrup” on coconut milk or banana ice cream! I’ll probably be adapting some form of it to make as a whipped cream to go on top of my paleo vegan pumpkin pie that I make every year for Thanksgiving!

Anyways, back to work for me! Enjoy, and happy Wednesday!
