PLUM MAPLE DONUTS (GLUTEN-FREE)

 

What do you do with plums that nobody will eat at home?  Make donuts!  No, really!  It works like a charm, at least with my crew.  These donuts are a Fall must-have in my house now.

Here are the details you need to make a batch at home:

Ingredients:
Makes 6 donuts 

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup (+1.5 tbsp) GF all-purpose flour 

2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

4 plums (pureed)

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vinegar

pinch of salt

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp maple flavor

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Peel the plums and puree in a blender.  Set aside.  Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately.  Combine.  Add the vinegar last.  Add 3 tbsp mix to silicon donut pan.  Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Allow donuts to cool down on a rack.  Store in the fridge in an airtight container for about 4 days- enjoy!

Make sure you select plums that have a slight "give" when you squeeze them gently for this recipe.  If you need your plums to ripen quickly, just place them in

 a paper bag for a few days.

 

Here are the nutrition facts for these donuts.  They pair perfectly with an almond latte!

I hope you enjoy these donuts!
