BLUEBERRY DONUT
My kids and father often ask for donuts on the weekend and I haven't found a place that offers quality and wholesome ingredients that are also gluten-free. This has added to many sighs and frustrated conversations...so I decided to make them! So far...my kids keep asking for them. My dad on the other hand, as long as he gets a daily treat (this included), he shows up to "help"...
So for these, I am baking them, swapping out the fat for applesauce, and having a healthy dose of blueberries to the mix. Depending on season, you can decrease the sugar as the blueberries are a perfect sweetener, too. They also go great with your morning beverage, like tea or coffee!
INGREDIENTS
-
¼ Cup Milk (I used Blueberry Cashew Milk)
-
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
-
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
-
1/3 Cup Agave (Maple Syrup or Honey would work too)
-
3 ½ Tablespoon Applesauce
-
1 Cup Gluten-Free Flour (All Purpose Flour option)
-
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
-
¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
-
½ Cup Blueberries (frozen or fresh)
-
Zest of 1 Lemon
PREPARATION
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, agave, and applesauce.
-
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
-
Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently mixing them until they are well combined, but not over-mixing. Option to also fold in the blueberries before pouring batter.
-
Pour batter into the donut pan.
-
If you did not add the blueberries before, add the blueberries on top of batter in the pan. You can submerge them into the mold too.
-
Top with lemon zest
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted inside the donut comes out clean.
-
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes & release from pan onto a cooling rack.
-
Enjoy!
