The hemp seeds in these donuts provide a source of protein, mineral and omega-3 and omega-6 fats and you can't see them either. They do contribute to the slight nutty taste in these donuts.
Here is the recipe I used:
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup garbanzo flour
I large banana (with brown spots)
1 medium beet (roasted at 350F for 30 min)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp hemp seeds
*****************************************************************
I roasted the beet for 30 min at 350F ahead of time so that it was soft. Then I shredded the beet to make sure I would not have any small chunks and blended it with the banana in my Ninja blender with the egg and the banana. In a separate bowl, I mixed the dry ingredients and then I combined them with the wet ingredients. This mix is enough for 6 donuts. I baked the donuts at 350F for 20 minutes. The donuts have a light texture and a slight nutty taste. You wouldn't even know they have beets in them!
This is an excellent way to sneak in more veggies into kiddos' meals. It is such a challenge to get them to eat the right number of servings daily, don't you think? I find that if they are disguised in a fun item like a donut, chances of them rejecting them are minimized. It works with my daughter!
