Mini Cinnamon Donuts

Just in time for the upcoming holidays, I’ve come up with this healthy but yummy mini cinnamon donut recipe. These delicious baked mini rings are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. Perfect to enjoy on a cold winter day without having to stay in line at the coffee shop.


Cinnamon Mini Donuts

Donut be fooled by the looks of these delicious baked mini cinnamon donuts. Unlike the usual sugary fried donuts, these are baked with whole ingredients that will taste like the original thing, and produce way less guilt as you satisfy that craving. No need to hold back, grab a few to enjoy with your coffee or just as a snack.

Being from Austria, I don’t have much experience when it comes to the classic american fried donut. One of the first times I visited my husband (then boyfriend), he introduced me to these delicious little donut holes called munchkins…I used to LOVE THEM!

Of course, this was all  before I changed diet…although I don’t blame you if you enjoy them once in a while XD.

Cinnamon Mini Donuts

What I’m offering here, is  something perfect for when you’re craving a delicious donut but want to look for something wholesome that saves you some calories.  These cute little cinnamon donuts are totally the solution for when you find yourself conflicted at a donut craving crossroad.

Fluffy and moist on the inside with a delicious cinnamon sugar coating, they can be enjoyed vegan and keto as well!  One word of warning though if you are not a fan of monk fruit sweetener, you can either skip that step or use coconut sugar/cane sugar.

The recipe itself is pretty simple. You just need to combine all the ingredients and bake the donuts in the oven. What some of you might need is a donut pan. It’s the same concept as a muffin pan. It creates the perfect looking donut. And who doesn’t love a pretty perfect looking donut. If you found yourself having fun doing this, then linked below are some more delicious recipes for baked donuts that require some creative decorating skills.

Just in time for the upcoming holidays, I've come up with this healthy but yummy mini cinnamon donut recipe. These delicious baked mini rings are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg (for vegan, substitute with one flax egg)

Cinnamon Coating

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease mini donut pan with coconut oil.

    In a medium sized bowl mix together coconut sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl combine coconut oil, egg, almond pulp and milk.
