Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

1 1/2 c quick oats (gluten-free if needed)
1/2 c garbanzo bean flour
1 T flax
2 T poppy seeds
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of pink himalayan salt
Zest from 2 lemons

Wet Ingredients:

1 c natural apple sauce
3/4 c freshly squeezed lemon juice
Sweetener if desired*

*I didn’t use any sweetener. If you’d like to add some I’d recommend just 1/4-1/3 raw local honey or agave. If using, reduce the amount of apple sauce used by the amount of sweetener you add.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray the holes of a 6 hole donut tin or a 9 hole muffin tin with coconut oil spray & set aside.
Add all your dry ingredients to a medium sized bowl & whisk to combine.
Add in your wet ingredients & mix until everything is combined.
Distribute batter evenly among your donut or muffin holes.
Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean & your edges are golden brown. Enjoy!
