Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin spice does, which is why we wanted to bring that seasonal flavor to some of our favorite collagen recipes – like these Pumpkin Spice Donuts! Not only are these fall donuts a warm and cozy reminder of fall’s triumphant return, but each bite is packed with better-for-you ingredients that taste amazing.
We’re talking gluten-free oat flour, maple syrup and – of course – pumpkin! The oat flour creates the perfect baked-donut texture, while the maple syrup and pumpkin add all the natural sweetness. Homemade cinnamon sugar is then coated on to complete the picture-perfect recipe. And as if these donuts could not get any better, they also contain Vital Proteins Marine Collagen to boost your collagen intake with every bite.
