I live in southern California so I often have to pretend it’s cooler outside than it really is. But that doesn’t stop me from making and eating all the recipes for fall weather that I can! My deep love of fall inspired an idea recently – to host a Food Blogger’s Fall Food Fest on Instagram. I got together a group of fellow food bloggers, including myself, and we spent two weeks sharing delicious fall themed recipes on Instagram.

In case you missed it, I am now sharing the recipes here on my blog! Check out these 12 tasty recipes for fall!

12. Gluten-free Plum Maple Donuts

Maple is another classic fall flavor and one of my very favorites. I love anything with maple! Peonies and a Latte combines maple and plum together to create a perfect a fall inspired donut recipe! These donuts are delicious and pair perfectly with a glass of hot apple cider! They’re also quite easy to make and are a healthier version than most donuts! They bake right in the oven rather than being fried in oil – but they don’t lack any flavor!

This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free but it does contain eggs. You can make this recipe egg-free and vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs. To make one flax egg, mix together 1 tbsp of ground flax seed with 3 tbsps of water. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until the mixture resembles the consistency of an egg.
