Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or donut hole pan with a little coconut oil or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, egg, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to distribute them evenly in the batter.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donut balls are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donut balls to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
