Pumpkin Maple Donuts Dairy-Free & Egg-Free

Dairy and egg free donuts your kids will love!

In a fun, seasonal flavor of pumpkin, maple, and cinnamon. 

Easy bake, no frying necessary. See recipe below!

 

Tradition at our house in recent years has been this.

Birthdays equal donuts. 

And while my non-food allergy son can enjoy a quick trip to the donut shop with dad,

my food allergy son doesn’t have that luxury.

So I often make him safe, milk-free and nut-free donuts from scratch.

But this year,

I thought my pre-teen might really enjoy a variety of donuts NOT made by mom.

Enthusiastically, I offered to pick up three different boxes and flavors of milk-free donuts at the grocery store.

They do contain egg but not milk or nuts.

My son’s response?

He preferred me making them.

A donut buffet for the whole family, would I mind working on that?

Sure thing, kiddo!

Way to make your mom feel needed. 

Knowing he loves chocolate donuts and vanilla donuts,

I first added those to the line-up.

Then I was motivated to create a new special flavor for my special birthday boy.

Success!

The dairy-free, egg-free Pumpkin Maple Donut was pulled off without a hitch,

and we absolutely love the delicous maple glaze.

We frosted our vanilla donuts with it, too!

If you don’t have a donut pan (affiliate), these can be made in a muffin pan.

Fill muffin wells only 1/3 full so they come out similar to donut size.

Or mini muffin pans (affiliate) make adorable “donut holes”.

These are the best pans ever, as the donuts will pop right out and clean up is effortless. 

Hope you get to make these dairy-free and egg-free pumpkin maple donuts soon!
