Today seemed like the best possible to day to share these oat-based breakfast donuts. Happy National Doughnut Day!!! I’m very proud to share that these are husband-approved! Slightly sweet but still wholesome enough to have first thing in the morning. I kept these gluten-free by using rice flour, feel free to use whichever flour fits your lifestyle best – I would not recommend coconut flour though.
I was inspired to make these super simple donuts after making my blender pancakes the other day. I was curious to see if the same batter blended up could be baked too – spoiler alert, they can be! If you’re wanting a little extra something that feels indulgent but it’s actually pretty wholesome, then this is the recipe for you. Feel free to substitute the apple sauce for a ripe banana if you prefer. You can also use any liquid sweetener you like best, I’m partial to maple syrup though. The almond butter caramel is totally optional but highly advised to include!
Be sure to stock up on all plant-based ingredients needed. Thanks to Vitacost.com you can find everything for a super affordable price and shipped to your home in 4 days or less! I’m a huge fan of Vitacost’s inventory of vegan-friendly products. You can search for snacks, sweets and everything in-between! Each item below is linked to exactly what I used, I hope that helps.
