Avocado Paleo Donut (Gluten-Free, made with Almond Flour)
Soft, sweet and packed with avocado (like a WHOLE avocado), these avocado donuts are gluten-free, low-carb and packed with nutrition. They also make the best guilt-free paleo desserts.Makes 3-4 medium sized donuts
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado *read note
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup light colored sugar or sweetener of choice**
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340 degrees F.
- Blend or mash avocado with 1 Tbsp lemon juice (this helps preserve the pretty green color).
- Stir together with the rest of the ingredients.
- Pipe or spoon into a donut pan and bake 340F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Optional: dust with sugar-free or regular confectioners sugar.
Notes
*1 medium avocado is about 150g cubed, or about ⅔ cup mashed
**I like using light-colored sweeteners such as honey powder, or raw cane sugar in this recipe because it doesn't affect the color of the final product. Coconut, date, and maple sugars are less processed, more natural granulated sugars, but it results in a browner, darker donut so I don't recommend them here. For the low carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia powder (but be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions)
