Doughnuts: A healthy eaters nightmare!!! Deep fried and sugar coated, not exactly your healthiest food choice…..But these doughnuts are oven baked, use wholemeal spelt flour, are refined sugar-free (sweetened with coconut sugar and banana), dairy free, nut free and vegan (by using oat milk), I think are as healthy as doughnuts can get, without missing out on feeling like you’re having a sweet treat 🙂
Here’s what you will need;
• wholemeal spelt flour
• coconut sugar
• baking powder
• bicarbonate of soda
• salt
• cinnamon
• oat milk
• ripe banana
• rapeseed oil
• vanilla extract
• apple cider vinegar
This recipe makes about 15 full sized doughnuts, so you will need enough doughnut rings or trays to make this amount.
