Pumpkin Cake Donuts

Long time no see, everyone! Today I’ve got some really special news and a new recipe to share with you.

As you may have noticed, I haven’t been very active over here lately. I just started high school! It’s amazing, but it does make me very busy. I apologize for my absence, and hope I can make up for it with… A magazine article?

Pumpkin donuts? How about both?!

Yup, that’s right. I wrote a column in the new issue of Paleo Magazine about the Teen Girl Revolution, and included some yummy recipes! What’s the Teen Girl Revolution, you ask?

It is all about us teen girls owning our confidence, strength, beauty, and health. We are tossing aside what the media has taught us to do: compete with each other and judge ourselves. Instead, we are lifting each other up and making our mark on this world as a powerful group of girls.

Get the issue of Paleo Magazine here, to learn more about the Teen Girl Revolution! And click here to find the store closest to you that carries Paleo Magazine. If you get the issue, take a pic of yourself with it and tag @teengirlrevolution in the photo on Instagram so I can see it!

Now, onto DONUTS!!!!!!!

These are so, so, so tasty and full of pumpkin-y goodness. They are the perfect autumn treat! Whole Girl donuts are baked, not fried, and have a lovely texture- just like a cake donut. Also, they’re topped with the most luscious glaze, made out of only four ingredients!

I hope you enjoy this recipe. And please leave a comment below, letting me know how you liked them 🙂 Have a great day, everyone!
