- 3 eggs egg substitute if necessary, I used 6 Tbs of garbanzo bean juice and 1/2 Tbl Ener -G Egg Replacer with 2 Tbs warm water
- 1 cup oil
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 cups zucchini grated
- 1 apple peeled and chopped finely
- 3 cups flour If using gluten-free flour add 2 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum or Guar Gum
- 3 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda corn-free if needed
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts omit for nut-free
Preheat oven to 350Prepare donut baking pans with a non-stick spray. In a small bowl add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and walnuts. Mix. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add eggs or egg substitute, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Mix well.
Mix in zucchini and apples. Add flour mixture and stir until mixed. Be sure to not over mix, it will make your donuts tough.
Pour into prepared donut baking pans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Gluten-free took the full 25 minutes in my oven.
Remove from baking pan and let donuts reach room temperature on wire racks. Drizzle with icing or sprinkle powdered sugar...or do both!
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbs milk or dairy-free substitute, I used soy milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract, optional
Whisk together ingredients and drizzle over the donuts.
