A recipe for airy, sugarless, non-dairy, butter-free, eggless, and flourless donuts. These donuts use almond flour and oats for a healthy, light texture, and natural sweeteners like dates or stevia.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour (you can make this by blending oats into a fine powder)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup applesauce (acts as a binder and adds moisture)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1/4 cup date paste (soak dates in water and blend until smooth) or stevia to taste
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (this will help the donuts rise and stay airy)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
### Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a bit of oil or line with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, almond milk, date paste (or stevia), apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be light and airy.
5. Fill the donut pan: Pour the batter into the greased donut molds, filling each about 2/3 of the way.
6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the donuts are lightly golden.
7. Cool and serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Toppings:
- Drizzle with melted sugar-free dark chocolate
- Dust with cinnamon and a bit of powdered stevia or monk fruit sweetener
Enjoy your healthy, light, and airy donuts!
