This 30-minute recipe starts with aquafaba! Aquafaba is the liquid from a can of chickpeas, which whips nicely and mimics the properties and texture of egg whites. This not only acts as a binder but also helps the donuts stay light and fluffy! Once whipped, set aside and prepare your simple batter, which is comprised of wholesome ingredients like almond flour, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and our gluten-free flour blend. These donuts get infused with apple flavor two ways: 1) applesauce, and 2) apple cider! Throw in some warming fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg into the mix and it’s like a baked apple dream. After a short bake in the oven, it’s time to invert and let cool slightly to firm up. At this time, you can brush your donuts with melted vegan butter (or coconut oil) and dunk them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture! This adds a little more texture as well as sweetness and warmth. Swoon! We hope you LOVE these donuts! They’re: FluffyTenderNaturally sweetenedPerfectly spicedInfused with appleEasy to make& So delicious This would make the perfect slow-weekend breakfast treat.
