If you love donuts but want a healthier version that doesn't give up flavor, these paleo apple cinnamon donuts with a honey nectar drizzle are perfect for you. These donuts are a delicious way to celebrate National Donut Day!

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.

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

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.

(This post was sponsored by Truvia, but all opinions are my own.)

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!

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? 

Instructions:

Mix my dry ingredients and wet ingredients up separately.

The batter should be a little thick, but not too thick. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. See all of the delicious apple chunks? they are the highlight of this donut recipe!

What kinds of apples do you use in baking?

I like to use apples that are on the tart side for baking. Here are some of my favorites:

• Granny Smith
• Pink Lady
• Jonagold

Can you use a donut pan?

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 :-).

TIP: If you use a donut pan, spray coconut oil in the pan and it will help give a little crispness to your donuts.

How long do donuts take to bake?

If you are using a donut maker, the donuts are ready in 5-7 minutes. If you are baking your paleo donuts in a donut pan, it will take 22 minutes.
