Serves: 12 donuts or 24 mini donuts
Ingredients
DONUTS:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ ripe banana mashed
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup finely diced frozen cherries, drained (reserve 2 tablespoons liquid)
GLAZE (optional):
  • 1 tablespoon cherry juice from frozen cherries
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons full fat greek yogurt
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease two, 6 well donut pans or one, 12 well mini donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or oil of choice.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder and salt. Next add the mashed banana, maple syrup, eggs, and extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Maker sure to dry the frozen cherries using a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible. Add the cherries to the batter and stir until evenly incorporated.
  4. Fill each donut cavity in the pan halfway full and bake for 10-15 minutes, until a toothpick placed in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow donuts to cool in the pan.
  5. To make the glaze, combine cherry juice, powdered sugar and yogurt in a small bowl and drizzle over freshly baked donuts.
  6. Store leftover donuts in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
