A fun and tasty Fall treat…but made with only clean, healthy ingredients!
Who doesn’t love donuts!? Donuts have always been one of my weaknesses – I just love them so much. But, let’s be real, they’re terrible for your health and they make me feel heavy, slow and just BLAH. These donuts are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free so you can rest assured they are much healthier. If you love donuts as much as me then you must try these Apple Cinnamon Baked Donuts!
These are so much healthier than the normal store-bought since these are baked and all of the ingredients are really clean and simple. Traditional donuts are normally fried and filled with some not so healthy stuff, like terrible oils and lots of sugar – yes it makes it taste good, but it’s likely to make you feel terrible!
Since these donuts are baked, they, of course, don’t have the same exact texture as something fried, like Krispy Kreme. But, it’s still so delicious and you feel so much better after eating this than a traditional donut!
Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Baked Donuts:
For the donut:
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Unsweetened applesauce
- Eggs
- Maple syrup
- Baking soda
- Sea salt
- Cinnamon
For the coating:
- Cinnamon
- Coconut sugar
- Melted coconut oil
How to Make Apple Cinnamon Baked Donuts:
First, start by preheating the oven and greasing a donut pan with coconut oil, or another healthy oil. Mix the donut ingredients together in a bowl and add the mix to the donut pan so they’re completely filled. Then bake in the oven and let cool.
While the donuts are cooling, mix together the cinnamon and coconut sugar for the coating in a medium bowl and melt the coconut oil in another separate medium bowl. Dunk or coat the tops of the donuts (or you could do all sides if you want) with coconut oil and then press them into cinnamon sugar mix and ensure it’s all coated.
Enjoy!
