Yes, yes I did! From purple sweet potato pancakes to tots and gnocchi. Just normal sweet potato doughnuts didn’t cut it for me! These pretty little baked gluten-free doughnuts are about to make your day (they’ve already made mine!) There is always something so special about purple food. You can never be frowning when you’re eating something purple 😉 No one is going to want your typical beige doughnut any longer! Trust me!

All complete with a lovely and simple ginger spiced sugar-free glaze to shine things up! Like shiny purple orbs of potato love! Coffee and a doughnut, anyone? I’d invite you over for brunch this weekend, how about that? I’m always glad and willing to bake up some treats to share! One of my favorite things about cooking and baking is sharing my recipes with someone else. Especially when I get to share a recipe that includes one of my favorite (and out there) ingredients!

The more ways I can incorporate foods, like purple sweet potatoes, into delicious recipes and introduce them to others the better!

Don’t these look kind of galaxy-like and glittery? I almost named them “galaxy” doughnuts, but you know…”SEO”. Ginger Glazed Purple Sweet Potato Doughnuts seemed a more structured and searchable option. We’ll just say “aka” Galaxy Doughnuts, though. That will make them even more enticing to try! So get out those doughnut pans and get creatively (gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, paleo, grain-free) baking! (What a mouthful!)

So tell me:

    Wow, your purple sweet potato doughnuts looks scrumptious! We can’t get purple sweet potato here in the UK, but if we could, I would definitely use it a lot!

    Okay, I have to try these. I use purple potatoes all the time, to make mashed potatoes, hash browns, and the like. But I’ve not yet tried purple sweet potatoes. And these look wonderful!

      Yes! Right? They look sparkly and so “outer space”….living up to the name of “out there” creations 😉

    When I’m introducing people to “gluten free” food (usually boyfriends), I like to stick to naturally gf foods with a twist – like sweet potato salmon sliders (using sweet potato rounds for bread). They don’t miss gluten at all 😉

    Wow what a colour, isn’t nature clever!? These look like a lot of fun, and such a simple recipe. I haven’t tried cooking with Erythritol before, is it a 1:1 replacement with other sweeteners or is it stronger/sweeter than others?

    These are gorgeous, Rebecca! When my daughter was younger, I’d often “hide” veggies in sweet treats – I still do but now she sorta knows about it beforehand and enjoys it too – I know she and I would so enjoy these ginger spiked purple sweet potato doughnuts!

    Craving right now! Quick question – would coconut sugar work instead of Erythritol? Or is there a different replacement you would recommend?
