Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Raw honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the honey, applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond milk, stirring until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until a smooth batter forms.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust with a sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle lightly with a glaze of your choice before serving. Enjoy your guilt-free treats!
