Healthy Donuts Really?

Americans love donuts just look around at all the small doughnut shops sitting pretty close to the big names like Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme....unfortunately, Americans seem to love a lot of things that are causing obesity, diabetes and even early death.
So do you have to give up doughnuts? The answer is NO. You can have healthy doughnuts that you should take the time and bake yourself.
You can actually make a double batch and freeze some for later.

Healthy Doughnut Recipe (Gluten Free Version)
1 Cup Almond Flour
1 Cup Coconut Flour
3/4 Cup of Splenda, Stevia, Agave Juice or whatever sugar substitute you prefer
2 tsp baking powder (make sure aluminum free)
1/2 tsp of cinnamon or apple pie spice
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
2 eggs
2 Tbsp of unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp of gluten free vanilla extract
Optional: Cinnamon sprinkled on top before baking
Sugar free chocolate chips sprinkled on top or inside batter
Blueberries mixed into the batter
I like variety

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray Pam for 2 seconds.
Add all dry ingredients and sift with a fork, stir in wet ingredients and beat until all is combined.
(I use 2 Nordic Ware Doughnut baking pans that I got from Target for $13.99 a piece. If your local Target doesn't have them you can get them from amazon.com but will probably have to pay for shipping.)
Fill each of the doughnut wells 2/3 full. Bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back up when lightly touched. Cool for about 5 minutes. Enjoy
Once you see how easy this is, fill your freezer up so the next time you are tempted--you are prepared!
