I love apple cider donuts, but really don’t love all of the sugar in apple cider, so a couple years ago I made my own healthier version! My Paleo Apple Cider Donuts are made with applesauce instead of cider, giving them the same delicious fall flavor!
This time around, I added @happywayau vegan vanilla protein to help balance blood sugar levels. I love this brand of clean protein powder (if you want to try out any of their flavors, you can use the code HAPPYHOLME to save 10%!).
Paleo Apple Cider Donuts
These Paleo Apple Cider Donuts are made with applesauce instead of cider, giving them the same delicious fall flavor as typical apple cider donuts but with less sugar.
Servings: 10 donuts
Ingredients
For the donuts
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/4 cups almond flour
- 4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 serving vanilla protein
For the coating
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a silicone donut pan.
- Mix together all of the donut ingredients. Distribute the batter evenly into 10 donut molds. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once cooled, remove the donuts from the pan and dip in the cinnamon sugar. If the sugar is not sticking, spray the donuts lightly with coconut oil and then dip in the cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
