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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Optionally, dust with some cinnamon or a mix of cinnamon and a sprinkle of coconut sugar for added sweetness.
Step 9
Enjoy your heart-healthy, gluten-free donuts as a delicious treat!
