Ingredients

Scale

Donuts:
1 cup oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
1 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp corn starch
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 Tbsp coconut oil (for oil-free version use apple sauce/banana)
1 cup almond milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nut meg
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of sea salt
Maple glaze:
3/4 cup icing sugar
2 Tbsps maple syrup
1 Tbsp almond milk/water
Toppings:
Pomegranate seeds
Crushed pecan nuts

Instructions

Pour the maple syrup, coconut oil, almond milk and spices into a medium-sized bowl and whisk together. Add in the flour, corn starch, baking powder and baking soda and mix together (be careful not to over mix).
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a non-stick donut tin.
Use a tsp or piping bag to fill each place in the donut tin until it’s 3/4 full. Even out the surface with our fingers and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
In the meantime, prepare the glaze by simply whisking all ingredients together.
Once ready, take the donuts and place them onto a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
Dip each donut into the glaze and place back onto the rack. Add pomegranate seeds and pecan pieces on top and enjoy!
