Instructions
Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients. This includes the mashed banana, almond butter, almond milk, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and vanilla.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. This includes the cassava flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula until well combined. The batter is some-what thick and goopy.
- Spoon the batter into a silicone donut pan, nearly to the top (making 7 donuts). Place the donut pan on a baking sheet.
- Place the donuts in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.
- Remove donuts from oven, cool in pan for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire cooling rack to room temperature.
Icing
- Combine all icing ingredients in a small bowl (just slightly larger than the donuts). Whisk until smooth, adding more tapioca flour as needed.
- Dip the cooled donuts in the icing, covering the entire top half of the donuts. OR, spread the icing over the donuts.
- Add desired toppings such as shredded coconut, cinnamon, bee pollen, naturally colored sprinkles, chopped nuts...
