Recipe Healthy Donuts

Baked Paleo Spinach Donuts are a healthy breakfast full of sneaky veggies! No food coloring needed to make these donuts naturally green!

This recipe is paleo, which means there’s no gluten, dairy or refined sugar! Plus, the beautiful green color is imparted naturally by the addition of spinach,  not artificial food coloring or dyes!

Since paleo baking is like a fine science, I do not recommend making any substitutions in this recipe. Please absolutely do not change the type or ratio of flours in this recipe! There are only a few substitutions thatI haven’t tried, but could potentially work:

These donuts are super easy to make (like everyrecipeI will be sharing with you from now until well after this baby girl arrives)!

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside. I like to mix dry ingredients first so that I don’t have to wash measuring cups/spoons during the batter-making process!

Then blend the wet ingredients in theVitamix. I really can only recommend a super high-powered blender like the Vitamix here to ensure that your mixture becomes totally homogenous and silky-smooth. I don’t recommend using a food processor.

Next, pour the wet ingredients into thedry ingredients and gently mix until completelycombined. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to ensure that the coconut flour has absorbed all the moisture, then bake.

This recipe makes 12 regular-sized donuts. Since I only have on donut pan with 6 cavities, I had to bake two batches but I totally didn’t mind.

In my opinion these baked Paleo Spinach Donutsstand alone on their own and do not need a glaze. I made one because…..hello, frosting. I used my recipe for Paleo Powdered Sugar to make this glaze.

However you can let your imagination run wild and glaze these guys with whatever you like! I wanted to keep the green color natural, so I used just a touch of Matcha powder so that the flavor wouldn’t be overpowering.

If you use coconut sugar to make your own powdered sugar the glaze on these will not be green, it will be brown. If you want it green, use white powdered sugar, however it is not paleo).

Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Make sure to store them in a single layer if you use glaze.

Flours: We haven’t tried an alternative for this blend of gluten-free flours. If you wanted to try a substitute out, you will have to experiment.

You are going to need to start with the doughnut pan here! This recipe is made specifically to fit into a 6 hole doughnut pan. If you are looking to make them into muffins, please check out this Banana Muffin recipe (or alternatively this Banana Bread recipe).

Make sure to grease the doughnut tins very well! Then get started on your batter. For that, it’s a simple 1-bowl situation where you whisk the wet and then add in the dry.

Healthy Doughnuts Recipes That Are Baked, Not Fried

After the batter is mixed together, I suggest you pipe in the batter either using a pastry bag, or a ziploc bag with a piece of the corner snipped off to make a small hole. This ensures your doughnuts bake up evenly.

The doughnuts will bake quickly, in around 15 minutes or so. You’ll know the doughnuts are baked through when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Once the doughnuts are baked, remove them from the pan. I find the best way to do this is to stand the pan up horizontally and gently bang it on the edge, and then tilt the pan forward as the doughnuts fall out.

Healthy Donuts In A Blender

If you wanted to dip the doughnuts in chocolate, let them cool fully. Melt the chocolate together and careful dip the top half of the doughnut into the chocolate!

Alternatively, you could eat the doughnuts plan, or dust them with powdered sugar or even brush on some melted butter and dip in cinnamon sugar.

These doughnuts are best eaten the day that they are made. However, they will keep well at room temperature, loosely covered, for 1 day. Or they can keep for up to 3 days covered in the refrigerator.

Superb Healthy Donuts

For fully dairy-free, make sure to use coconut oil and chocolate chips that do not contain any dairy (such as Enjoy Life)
