Paleo Apple Cinnamon Donuts
Servings: 6
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
For the Cinnamon Sugar topping:
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and arrange the oven rack in the center position. Lightly grease a 6 cavity donut pan (can use something larger, but this recipe will only fill 6 large donuts) with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Add the wet ingredients to dry, and continue to stir with a wooden spoon until well combined and no flour pockets remain.
- Spoon the batter into your donut pan, filling each cavity to the top. Transfer to the oven and bake for 16-18 minutes (depending on oven). Remove and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- While donuts are cooling, prepare the topping. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Lightly brush each donut with coconut oil, and dip each end of the donuts in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place on parchment paper.
- Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
