Ingredients

Donut Batter

  • 1 medium avocado (about 150g cubed or ⅔ cup mashed)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup light colored sugar or sweetener of choice
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup almond flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready when your batter is prepared.
  2. Prepare Avocado: Blend or mash the avocado together with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to keep the green color vibrant and prevent browning.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the mashed avocado mixture with the sugar, baking soda, salt, egg, and almond flour. Stir everything until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Fill Donut Pan: Pipe or spoon the batter carefully into a donut pan, filling each cavity evenly.
  5. Bake: Bake the donuts in the preheated oven at 340°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the donuts turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Optional Garnish: Allow the donuts to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Optionally, dust with sugar-free or regular confectioners sugar for added sweetness and decoration.

Notes

  • One medium avocado is approximately 150g cubed, which equals about ⅔ cup when mashed.
  • You can use any light colored sugar or a sweetener of your choice to adjust sweetness to your preference.
  • Make sure to grease or lightly spray the donut pan to prevent sticking.
  • Donuts are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
