Ingredients
Scale
Donut Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup cacao powder (plus extra for the pan)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 eggs (see note 1 for vegan option)
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup coconut butter/manna
- 2 TB 100% pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ TB freeze dried strawberry powder
- ¼ cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees and grease a donut pan well with coconut oil. Dust with cacao powder and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients (almond flour through salt). In a medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (applesauce through vanilla). Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry and mix until just combined.
- You can either spoon the batter into the donut pan or do what I do and spoon it into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, snipping a bit off one corner. You can then more easily pipe the batter into the donut pan cavities.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one donut ring comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes or so before taking out of the pan. Then, cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, you can make the strawberry glaze by combining all glaze ingredients except vanilla into a small pot over medium-low heat, whisking until melted and fully combined. Dip donuts into glaze, as desired. Allow to set before storing.
Notes
Note 1: To make these vegan, make flax eggs to replace the chicken eggs. For each egg, combine 1 TB ground flax seed (a.k.a. flaxmeal) and 3 TB warm-to-hot water, stir to combine and allow to sit 5-10 minutes to gel.
Note 2: These freeze extremely well! I usually make a double batch and then store in large Tupperware containers, placing wax paper between the layers. They’ll keep a good month or two in the freezer (assuming you don’t eat them, first!).
