It’s pumpkin spice season and we’re leaning into it!
Some may claim to have pumpkin spice fatigue, but no matter how overplayed the trend has gotten, the fact is that this magical combo of sweet warm spices and crisp autumn weather is still pretty great.
The majority of the world’s pumpkin-spiced treats are high-carb and sugary, trouble for those of us with diabetes. Here we can help fix that problem, with the help of some of our favorite food blogs – there’s no reason why sweet autumn spices need to cause blood sugar mayhem.

Caroline of Caroline’s Keto Kitchen shares “what are quickly becoming my favorite pumpkin dessert.” These rich bars are made with canned pumpkin, chocolate, coconut flour, and plenty of butter, with a Libby’s sugar-free chocolate drizzle on top.
From our friends at Low Carb Yum: “Donuts are usually made by deep frying a sweetened flour dough in hot oil. Between the sugar and flour, most donuts have well over 20 grams of net carbs each. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
Each large sugar-free keto pumpkin donut made from this recipe has just 5g net carbs. And there’s no frying so it’s much easier to prepare!”
