Donuts have a reputation for being one of the unhealthiest sweet treats on the market, but it’s possible to put a healthy twist on them. If you’re not sure how to do it, Jillian Glenn of Peanut Butter and Jilly Beans is here to help you with her recipes for gluten-free, plant-based donuts.
Funfetti Donuts
Funfetti desserts are one of Glenn’s specialties and she couldn’t resist making donuts filled with colorful sprinkles. She makes them healthier by baking instead of frying them—a method she uses with most of her donuts.
Strawberry Donuts
These donuts with homemade strawberry frosting look so good it’s hard to believe they’re healthy, but we’ll take Glenn’s word for it. They’re vegan and gluten-free, and the frosting is as mouth-watering as it gets.
Apple Cider Donuts
If apple cider happens to be your favorite drink, it’s time to try making donuts that taste just like it! That’s exactly the idea behind this recipe and the cinnamon sugar frosting makes them taste even better.
Maple Donuts
Maple syrup can make everything better, including your donuts. In addition to using vegan maple syrup glaze to frost your donuts, you should also consider topping them with some maple candied pecans.
