8 Ingredient Donuts, 4 ingredient crumble – PURE BLISS! There is no doubt in my mind that these SWEET POTATO CINNAMON SUGAR Donuts are a new favorite of mine – and will become one of yours too!
I am a sweet potato fiend – I can literally eat it in any way, shape or form. So naturally, I like to include it in my baked goods on occasion, and it truly adds such an amazing texture, and definitely hint of nutty sweetness!
So, I had a baked sweet potato sitting on my counter, not really sure what I was going to do with it yet. And then, I got a craving for donuts. And that’s how it happens. I have a craving, I see what I have on hand in my pantry, fridge, or freezer, and I make random baked goods that sometimes turn out to be AMAZING – as was the case here.
Those fluffy cinnamon sugar donuts you can get from a store – yea, these could rival them. They aren’t tossed in cinnamon sugar, but instead are topped off with a delicious cinnamon sugar crumble. And in my mind, crumble beats a coating ANY TIME!
These donuts are gluten, dairy and refined sugar free – but don’t let that gibe you the idea that they are bland, dry or tough. These are so light, airy and fluffy, and are anything but bland 🙂
The crumble on top was honestly a last minute decision, but definitely a good one. Crumbles are SO easy to make, but really add a little something something to baked goods. This one is made using 4 easy ingredients that you probably already have on hand – and really add to that cinnamon sugar flavor we are going for with these donuts!
I actually be you have all of the ingredients for the donuts and the crumble already in your pantry/fridge – so let’s get baking!
