Toppings/Glazes:
ALLERGEN FRIENDLY IDEA
If not avoiding sugar I love using Enjoy Life Chips simply melted with no added oil and spreading this mixture on top like a chocolate glaze.
Enjoy Life Chips are TOP 8 ALLERGEN FREE.

KETO IDEAS
Lilly's Chocolate baking bars are great chopped up and melted with a tsp of coconut oil and spread on top for KETO Chocolate Donuts.

Plain Pumpkin Donuts are great with 4 oz melted cream cheese mixed with 1 oz melted butter and 1-2 tbsp powdered Erythritol or Monkfruit and a dash of vanilla for KETO or regular powdered sweetener if that's not a focus for you.

PALEO IDEA
For a creamy dairy free glaze on the Pumpkin Spice Version of this recipe you can simply melted a good quality coconut butter with a dash of salt, cinnamon and vanilla and drizzle over donuts.

NOTES:
I have not tried this recipe with a flax or gelatin egg. This would help you make this recipe Auto Immune Protocol complaint or avoid the ingredients that are in the Bob's red mill egg replacer. Please let me know in the comments if you try these substitutes!
