Honey Almond Donuts

**recipe in progress**

I found a waffle recipe on allrecipes.com I believe. But most of the comments talked about how it didn't work well. But one comment mentioned that it tasted like egg donuts. It got me thinking, and I've been working.

This recipe only slightly resembles the first one. And it's still not quite there yet.

Honey Almond Donuts

1 C Almond Flour
1 pinch of salt
1 heaping teaspoon Baking Powder
4 eggs
1/4 C Oil (I use peanut)
1/4 C Honey

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  •  Mix all ingredients well together. 
  • Spoon into well oiled donut pan. Batter will be very liquidy
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
This only makes about 6 donuts. And it still sticks in the pan. Still working on it.

Variation 1

  • Add 1 Large Banana to the batter. 
  • Makes about 7 donuts. 
 Still sticks in pan. Tastes like banana bread

Variation 2

  • Add 1/4 Cup potato starch
  • Add 2 teaspoons vanilla
 This makes about 10 donuts. It tastes like plain white cake. And comes out of the pan alot better. But make sure to run a plastic knife (I prefer my daughter's IKEA ones) along the edges to loosen.
