Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free oat flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, eggs, almond milk, and melted coconut oil. Ensure the coconut oil is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the eggs.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust with some cinnamon or a mix of cinnamon and a sprinkle of coconut sugar for added sweetness.
Enjoy your heart-healthy, gluten-free donuts as a delicious treat!
