Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oat flour (oats processed in a blender or food processor)
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond or soy milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

For Glaze:

  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Strawberry Ice Cream - For completely lightened up ice cream , use my homemade version

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350* F. Thoroughly grease your doughnut pan with softened coconut oil or butter.
  • Stir together dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the milk, applesauce, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest until fully combined. Pour the wet into the dry and whisk or stir until just combined (when you no longer see dry flour).
  • Spoon batter into the greased doughnut pan to about 1/8-inch from the top. You want it to come up right to the top of the center piece that puts the hole in the doughnut. (That way, it will fill in the center of the doughnut enough to make it easier to fill with ice cream.)
  • Place in the center of your oven for 18-23 minutes until a toothpick comes out nearly clean and the edges are golden brown. The holes should be closed up and the doughnuts may have spread slightly over the edge of each mold. If the holes didn’t fully close up it’s completely fine. It just makes spreading the ice cream easier!
  • Mix the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl while you're waiting on the doughnuts to finish cooling.
  • Let doughnuts cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan then loosen the edges with a thin spatula or knife. Take out of the pan, dip the tops of the doughnuts in the glaze, and place on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes. (Place a pan or parchment paper under the cooling rack to catch the glaze)
  • Remove ice cream from the freezer about an 10 minutes before filling + serving the doughnuts.
  • Cutting and Filling:
  • Slice the doughnuts in half, right above where the hole closes, with a thin, serrated knife.
  • Scoop the soft ice cream and spread gently on each doughnut right before serving. Place the top half on and lightly press down. Best served immediately.
  • You can also wrap tightly with plastic wrap, put in a freezer bag, and place in the freezer for up to a couple weeks to serve later.
