Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with vegetable oil or a non-stick spray suitable for baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and granulated sugar. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly dispersed.
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, almond milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts dense.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large plastic bag with the tip cut off, and pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you may top the donuts with your favorite low-sodium frosting or glaze, or enjoy them plain!
