No Guilt Donuts for Breakfast

Today we are having gluten free apple donuts for breakfast and we have NO guilt!

You heard that correctly. 

My kids are so excited we are breaking the rules today. Breakfast needs to be fun, but my biggest rule is that breakfast must have protein and not too much sugar. Nothing is worse than sitting through your first class and your tummy starts to rumble.

These easy gluten free apple cinnamon donuts follow all of my rules :-).

I love that these paleo donuts are made with all the healthy stuff….almond flour, cassava flour, egg, almond milk…and they are sweetened with Truvia® Nectar. Use it anywhere you would use honey! This nectar has 50% less calories than sugar!

Check out all of the Best Gluten Free Donut Recipes on my blog! You can also see our favorite gluten free apple recipes where you will find both sweet and savory apple recipes.

Have you tried stevia leaf? Truvia® Nectar is made with stevia leaf extract, the sweetest part of the stevia leaf. This nectar is ideal for use in foods and beverages where honey sweetness is desired with fewer calories.

You can use it anywhere honey is used, including hot and cold beverages, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, baked goods, sauces and dressings and more!

And aren’t these gluten free donuts worth it?

How To Make Paleo Donuts:

Mix my dry ingredients and wet ingredients up separately.

The batter should be a little thick, but not too thick.

I make my donuts in my BabyCakes Donut Maker. They taste fried, but these are just as healthy as baked donuts. You can also use a donut pan and bake these, they will taste just as good :-).

  2. Mmmmmm, these look soooo good, and have come at a PERFECT time as I was just browsing for some donut recipes this morning. I’ve not heard of Truvia before, but I wonder if these would come out just as good with maple syrup instead. They’re literally making my mouth water-can’t wait to try one. Thanks for sharing! <3

  10. I don’t know how you keep your babycakes trays so tidy when you make donuts! I love that gadget, but it is a disaster by the time I am finished, though I guess donuts do turn out a bit more cleanly than when I make waffles 😉

    Yummy looking recipe!
