Ingredients
  

Donuts

Glaze

Salted Caramel

  • 1 13.5- oz can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granular sweetener I use low carb Lakanto monk fruit
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup I use sugar free Lakanto syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Toppings

  • Raw pepitas
  • powdered sweetener

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.
  • In a large bowl mix together the cake mix, pumpkin pie spice, eggs, almond milk, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  • Fill each mold almost to the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
  • While the donuts are baking make the caramel. Place all caramel ingredients into a medium saucepan and set over high heat.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low to a bubbling simmer.
  • Continue to stir frequently for about 15 minutes until it has reduced and thickened. Set aside to cool.
  • To make the glaze heat the almond milk over low heat and whisk in the sweetener, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  • Keep on the lowest heat setting while dipping the donuts.
  • Assemble by dipping the donuts into the glaze, place on a wire rack. Drizzle with salted caramel and sprinkle one side with pepitas and the other with powdered sweetener.
