Happy Wednesday Friends! It’s the middle of the week, so what better reason do you have than to make these delicious Blueberry Cake Donuts to help get you through the rest of the week! These donuts are so sinful, yet guilt-free and that my friends, makes my little heart happy.
They are made using gluten free flours, no refined sugar (unless you’re a sucker for a lemon glaze, then that option is available) and they’re also dairy-free! They are such a fun way to indulge without all of those natural flavors, sugars and preservatives that would be in the majority of the donuts you’d eat out!
The two gluten free flours that were used in this recipe are blanched almond flour and coconut flour. * I have not tried other flours for this recipe.
As mentioned, these donuts do not contain refined sugar, instead maple syrup was used in place of white sugar. If you do choose to indulge slightly, and I would not judge you one bit because it makes these donuts extra delicious… you can make a quick lemon glaze to go on top (which that does contain organic powdered sugar) but this is completely optional.
This recipe is also dairy free as we used coconut milk in place of cows milk and refined coconut oil in place of butter, although butter can be used in place of the coconut oil for a 1:1 swap if you prefer to use it (and if you were not dairy free).
Now let us talk about the ingredients you will need to make these donuts:
- blanched almond flour
- coconut flour
- full fat coconut milk
- organic unsweetened applesauce
- maple syrup
- pasture-raised eggs
- refined coconut oil or grass fed butter, melted
