Instructions
 

  • Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until very smooth
  • Add red food coloring, one drop at a time/ blend/ repeat, until you have the color desired
  • Scoop or pipe batter into a well-greased (spray oil works) donut pan.
  • Bake in a preheated 350F pan for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean

Notes

*You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, but honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar and maple sugars are the less processed, naturally derived options. For a lower calorie option, I've used sugar-free sweeteners with good results, such as stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions). 
**add more if you want a darker red velvet color
