I feel like I have made several peanut butter recipes to last a life time, I figured it was time to give almond butter some love! I love almond butter just as equally as I love any other nut butter, it is an obsession to say the least! I was unsure how these donuts were going to turn out because I don't have a donut pan accessible, and last time I tried to make donuts the dough was too watery to form the shape myself. However I had zero issue forming the donuts this time around. I am thoroughly impressed with myself being that it's only my second attempt at making donuts.
Flavor wise they were great, I really enjoyed the almond flavor and it wasn't too over powering. The texture of the donut is similar to a biscuit because I baked it, but the inside was nice and soft. You can enjoy these in the morning with a cup of coffee or at night with a glass of milk.
I used 1:1 Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour but you can also use all purpose flour if you do not want to make it gluten free. You can even swap out the honey for maple syrup if you wish to make it vegan as well!
