makes 6 donuts
My girls of course love the idea of donuts, and thankfully they appreciate and enjoy homemade donuts - with "clean" ingredients.
Using simple ingredients and baked in the oven... here's the recipe.
WET INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp milk of choice (dairy or almond milk for example)
1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
3 Tbsp beet puree (you can boil, or steam 2 beetroots then puree with a stick blender)
3 1/2 Tbsp oil (choose cold pressed oils as healthier option)
DRY INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flour (All-Purpose or Gluten-free)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
Note: choose organic ingredients as much as possible.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. combine the wet ingredients in a bowl
2. combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl
3. grease a donut silicon mould and preheat the over to 175C
4. add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir well until well combined (don't over mix)
5. fill in the donut mould - this is a very sticky dough so use 2 spoons to scoop and fill the moulds.
6. bake 10-12 minutes.
7. let it sit 5 minutes before you remove the donuts from the mould
You can enjoy it like this or add a glaze from the options below
Chocolate glaze options:
