No more beige donuts! These healthy Ginger Glazed Purple Sweet Potato Doughnuts are gluten-free, allergy-free, vegan, and paleo! A creative and fun recipe to try for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack!
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! Since no one can turn down a doughnut, well, I think you get the picture here! So if this is your first time with purple sweet potatoes or with baked doughnuts, you’re about to be very pleased with this recipe!
Ginger Glazed Purple Sweet Potato Doughnuts
- Doughnuts:
- ¼ Cup Arrowroot Starch
- ¾ Cup Boiled and Mashed Purple Sweet Potato
- ½ Tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ Cup Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk
- 2 TB Erythritol
- ½ Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- Ginger Glaze:
- ¼ Cup Powdered Erythritol
- 1½ TB Water
- 1 Tsp Ginger
- ¼ Tsp Allspice
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Peel, boil, and mash the purple sweet potatoes.
- In a large bowl, combine all doughnut ingredients and mix to combine.
- Grease a doughnut pan and divide the dough between 4 of the molds.
- Bake in the oven for 12-13 minutes.
- To make the glaze, combine all ginger glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Dip the baked and cooled doughnuts in the ginger glaze and let dry.
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:
+ Any fun recipes you like to make to introduce new foods to someone else?

Love its color!
Thanks!
So prettyyyy! <3! Yay for sweet potatoes!
Haha, yes!!
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!
They are the best!
Ooh…I have a doughnut pan…somewhere. I’ll have to find it and make these.
Top priority!
I love anything with ginger and purple vegies are healthy, I am sure they taste wonderful.
Thanks!
Oh my, what an interesting recipe. Donuts and potatoes! Amazing. I will have to try it. Do they taste like potatoes? 🙂
I’m assuming you’ve never had a PSP?
Yes, you`re right. I`ve never had 🙂 Maybe my question seems pretty dumb 🙂
Super creative! and fun
Alright, thanks.
These look awesome! I’ll have to share the recipe with my friend!
Kathy
Thanks!
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!
You must make doughnuts then!!
These are adorable and so perfect for a cruelty free Easter treat!
The purple seems a bit “moody” for Easter, but sure!
Haven’t had a doughnut in years, these are going to change that!. They look and sound amazing. Thanks!
You’ll love these! Enjoy!
Sweet potato + ginger = two of my favorite things!
They do complement each other well!
Healthy alternative to my favorite guilty pleasure!
Isn’t that nice!
Oh my goodness! When I return to the States I am trying this! Consider yourself bookmarked! 🙂
I hope you enjoy them!
Yum!!!
Ha, thanks!
OMG, they look so inviting and plus sound delicious thanks for the recipe 🙂

The color is fabulous! I’ve never seen the purple version in our markets, but just found out where I can go to find some!!
Great! You need to stock up whenever you can get your hands on them!
Purple is my favorite color and I love idea of ginger glaze 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
Oh my gosh, these look amazing! Love that they are purple!!
Haha, thanks!
These are such a fun color–def a different and fun surprise!
Super fun for sure!
What a delicious and fun way to change up donuts! Love that they are still healthy too.
You! Totally allergy-free too!
Love the color! Sweet potatoes are wonderful in baked goods, especially with a little ginger added to the mix.
Gotta have pretty baked goods!
clever, clever, clever….can’t wait to try these!
Alright then.
I was thinking these look like space donuts and then right at the end you called them galaxy! So fun!
Yes! Right? They look sparkly and so “outer space”….living up to the name of “out there” creations 😉
Yep, coffee and a doughnut. Count me in Rebecca! What time do you want me dropping by? 🙂
I love how you used sweet potatoes for this. But then you always have such amazing creations here and that’s why I enjoy your site!
Thanks, keep up the great recipes!
Thank you so much, Neil!! You can stop by anytime 😉 Next time you come to the US, make it an East Coast trip!
Purple sweet potatoes are the best! I really need to get myself a donut pan.
How do you not have one? Can’t call yourself a food blogger without!
going nut with these donuts! thank you for sharing your recipe to us 🙂
Alright then.
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 😉

Make good food and there isn’t a problem with any restriction!
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?

It’s 1 to 1 with sugar, but we don’t cook or bake with sugar on this blog.
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!
We need to make veggies the star! No hiding!
What an interesting recipe! (And they look delicious!) I love that they are gluten-free, too! I’ll have to try these out…
Thanks!
We love donuts! I’ve never made them with a potato (or anything similar). I love the extra nutrients it adds.
Always have to add in the potato!
Out with the beige and in with the pretty purple doughnuts! Love it!
You know it!
Craving right now! Quick question – would coconut sugar work instead of Erythritol? Or is there a different replacement you would recommend?
You can. I just don’t cook with sugar on this blog.
Wow these look so amazing Rebecca! The purple colour from the sweet potatoes is so pretty! I can’t wait to try making these – especially with the delicious ginger glaze <3
Thank you!
That purple color is so fun! My kids would love these!
Yes they would!
aren’t these pretty and fun, what a creative recipe. I have to make these for my little nephew, he would get a kick out of purple doughnuts
They would put a smile on his face 😉
Oh these look wonderful! Need to try this, especially since I love the color.
The color just “forces” you to make ’em!
I just got a donut tray as a gift for my birthday! I am so making this recipe now! I love ginger and purple sweet potatoes the colour for this donut is so rich I love it!!
It will be your new favorite cooking gadget 😉
I’ve made purple sweet potato doughnuts before but with that ginger glaze would definitely put them over the top
That glaze is something special 😉
Ha! Beige doughnuts. Heavens no! These are so lovely and just perfect for Spring!
Haha, need the color!
These are so pretty, I love that purple color! I bet they taste delicious with that ginger glaze.
The ginger glaze is that perfect “spiced” sweet!
These looks so yummy! I just bought sweet potato but they’re not purple! Boo.
Ha, of course not.
These are crazy! My family is obsessed with sweet potato, I’ll have to share this with them!
They’ll love this sweet treat!
What a great idea…I love the color
Thanks!
These look amazing but I don’t know where I’m going to find some of the ingredients… That doesn’t mean I won’t try though! Thanks for sharing ?
Enjoy!
This sounds good… and the purple color (from a natural source!) is great. 🙂 Thank you for the idea.
Always keeping it real!
What a gorgeous colour. I made some biscuits using purple corn flour recently, but they’re not nearly as vibrant as your doughnuts.

Thank you!
Such a cool idea! Love that that you used purple sweet potatoes – so much prettier than beige!
Any doughnut will color would be prettier 😛
You had me at purple! Beautiful recipe with so much good characteristics, must try if you ask me!
Thank you! I do love my purple foods 😉
