These GF Carrot Cake Donuts are sweetened only with fruit, but you’d never know! My kids love them for breakfast,
snack, and dessert, and I love that I can make them easily in the blender!
Carrot Cake Donuts
Ingredients:
For the donuts:
🥕2 medium overly ripe bananas (1 1/2 cups mashed)
🥕2/3 cup raisins
🥕1/2 cup applesauce
🥕2 tablespoons coconut oil
🥕1 teaspoon vanilla
🥕2 eggs
🥕2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
🥕1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
🥕1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
🥕1 teaspoon baking powder
🥕1 teaspoon baking soda
🥕1 1/2 cups oat flour (or 2 cups blended old fashioned oats)
🥕1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (I blend 2 peeled carrots in my blender before starting)
For the icing:
🥕4 oz vegan (or regular) cream cheese
🥕1 1/2 tablespoons date (or maple) syrup
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a donut pan. Using a silicone donut pan will make removal easier. If
shredding carrots in the blender, blend now and then put to the side. - Blend together the bananas, raisins, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the egg.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend on low until mixed together.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the 12 donut molds. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the donuts are baking, make icing, if desired, by mixing together the cream cheese and syrup in a small
bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, or until melted. - Once cooled, remove the donuts from the pan and dip in the melted icing. Sprinkle on crushed nuts (I used
@nutsolaofficial), if desired. Enjoy!
