Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flax + 3 Tbsp water)
- 1 ripe medium to large banana, mashed
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp oat flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- scant 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease/spray your donut pan very well.
- Make flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, make cinnamon sugar topping by adding coconut sugar and cinnamon and stir. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Whisk until well combined.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add the flax egg, mashed banana, oil, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix. Spoon batter into your donut pan. Mine made about 5-6 donuts. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping over the top.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then carefully take the donuts out and place on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy! Best when fresh!
