Pumpkin spice latte baked donut recipe that is gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free

Let’s make this together..

We hope you enjoyed the video.

Make sure to share this coffee inspired donut recipe with your friends.

These pumpkin latte donuts are so delish!

They are full of pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and coconut sugar plus Starbucks instant coffee and topped with a coffee protein glaze. Y.U.M.

Super easy to make too, which is all we want this time of year, right? Quick easy recipes! The batter comes together quickly and they take only 16 minutes to bake.  And nothing fancy about the coffee protein glaze. Just mix hot coffee with protein powder.

These pumpkin spice donuts are soft and cake-like (our favorite type of donut).

When coming up with the glaze we decided we wanted it to be sugar-free and based out of protein powder.  You can use any protein powder of your liking.

Soft, cake-like pumpkin latte baked protein donuts made in 16 minutes.

All without a trace of gluten or dairy.  And can be made grain-free depending on what flour blend you use.

You can use any gluten-free flour blend of your liking. But if your blend does not have coconut flour in it we suggest doing 2 tablespoons of coconut flour instead of the 2 tablespoons flax meal.

We tried to make these donuts egg-free and starch-free but it didn’t turn out.

We don’t have anything against using starches in our recipes, but we do like trying to make some recipes without them.

You’ll also notice that our sugar-free protein glaze does contain starch. Why starch? We use it to create our own homemade “powdered sugar” using a starch mixed with protein powder.

Another flour option for you is to use all tigernut flour for the 1 cup of flour.
