Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should have a smooth strawberry puree.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the strawberry puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, mix in the unsweetened almond milk to loosen it slightly.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come 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.
If desired, lightly dust the donuts with powdered erythritol for a touch of sweetness without adding sugar.
Serve the donuts fresh, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
