- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp allspice
cinnamon honey marble
- 1 very, very soft medjool date (it should be so soft it’s like mush in your hands) (leave the date in hot water, covered overnight, or simply allow to soak in room temperature for at least 24 hours)
- 1/8 cup honey

Instructions
pumpkin donuts
- start by mixing you dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl-- your coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
- add in the pumpkin puree and combine well, add butter, honey and combine, before finally adding in the eggs and mixing again until everything is well combined.
- now set aside, and proceed to prepare your cinnamon honey marble mixture.
cinnamon honey marble
- delicately remove the skin from the soft medjool date – if it’s soft it should separate easily. place in a small bowl.
- add the honey, cinnamon and begin to whisk with a fork, before adding the hot water. continue to stir/mash up the date until it's well combined.
- once combined, you can prepare your donuts.
- using a silicone donut mold (ideally, it'll give you the best results when you go to remove your donuts from the mold afterwards, in my experience!), spoon the batter into the mold, approximately 3/4 of the way full.
- now, add approximately 1 tsp of the cinnamon honey marble mixture, and swirl it around your donut using a toothpick.
- bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
- remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool completely before lifting them out of the mold, if they are still warm when you attempt to remove them from the mold, they may crumble a bit.
- serve these donuts warm (ideally!) but they can also be enjoyed cold/frozen. store them in an airtight glass container or jar in the fridge or freezer.
