Ingredients
Scale
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan or use a silicone pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, vanilla, and almond milk. Add the chopped strawberries.
- Combine: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Fill the pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or coconut milk in place of regular milk.
- Feel free to top with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or drizzle with a simple glaze for extra sweetness.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
