Ingredients

For the donuts:

  • 1 cup flour (I used spelt flour. Whole grain pastry flour or all-purpose flour would work too.)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 packets Stevia or 1/4 cup coconut sugar (other sugars will also work)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 very ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (other milk varieties will work)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the glaze:

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand.)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a donut pan with an all-natural cooking spray, even if it's a nonstick pan.
  • Mix all of the dry donut ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix all of the wet donut ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon batter evenly into donut pan or transfer batter to a baggie with one corner cut off, to allow for squeezing the batter out of the baggie and into the shape of a donut on the donut pan. You will have enough batter for 7 donuts.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • While donuts are baking, prepare ingredients for glaze. Wait to warm the glaze, though, until after donuts have baked and cooled.
  • For the glaze, whisk ingredients in a shallow bowl and heat in the microwave in 30 second increments. Whisk each time you check the ingredients, until they are completely melted.
  • When donuts have cooled for approximately 10 minutes, transfer them to wire cooling rack. Dip each donut into the heated glaze. Decorate with sprinkles if you like and enjoy!

Notes

Baked donuts are perfect for "making healthy" because you can play around with the amount and type of sugar to get just the right sweetness.
