Sweet treat...

Hello, Lovelies!

October is the perfect time for a sweet treat and Apple Cider Donuts with Maple Glaze simply hit the spot.  Paired with a cup of strong and hot coffee...cozy and delicious!  I hope you enjoy!  If you don't have a donut pan, no worries, just make muffins.  By the way, these donuts are gluten free so everybody can enjoy them.  I didn't get a picture of the ones I whipped up so I found one online.  Don't they look scrumptious!  

GLUTEN FREE APPLE CIDER DONUTS

Ingredients:

1/3 cup apple cider
2 eggs

2 Tbsp maple syrup (you can use honey if you don't like maple syrup)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour

2 Tbsp coconut flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda 

1/4 tsp baking powder

Pinch of ground nutmeg 

Pinch of salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350* and grease a donut pan or muffin tin.  In a large bowl, add eggs, maple syrup and vanilla.  Whisk until combined.  Add the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is mixed well with no lumps.  Spoon the batter into the pan.  About 3/4 full.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Remove the donuts from the pan and cool for about 10 minutes on a baking rack.  Dip donuts (tops only) into the glaze or spoon it over the tops.  Place them back on the rack to dry.    You can dip the donuts in crushed walnuts after the glaze, if you like.

MAPLE GLAZE:

Ingredients: 

1 cup powdered sugar

1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp milk

1/4 tsp maple extract

pinch of salt

Directions: 

In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, 1 1/2 tsp milk, maple syrup, maple extract, and salt.  Stir until smooth.  For a thinner glaze, stir in another 1/2 tsp milk.

Enjoy!

Until next time...

Grace & Peace,
