Gluten-Free Mini Apple Cider Doughnut Muffins – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Apple Cider Donuts are always a fall favorite, but this time around I wanted to make them healthier with similar flavors.  Most doughnut recipes are deep fried, but these are baked and I used only almond flour, replacing all-purpose flour to give them a slight nutty taste.  Muffins are one of the easiest one-bowl prep treats that are scrumptious to serve for a quick grab and go during the week, or as something to savor on the weekend.

This recipe is actually gluten-free because I used almond flour and a little protein powder, which makes them quite fit for enjoying at breakfast time.  The apple cider vinegar offers a fall essence and keeps the dough airy and light, one that resembles a cake doughnut, or muffin.  Did you ever think a doughnut could be healthy to eat?

These tasty treasures are perfect with a hot cup of coffee or nicely brewed tea, and make great little snacks for after school.  You can wrap and freeze some for a later date, but I doubt they’ll last that long.
