Ingredients

• 2 flax eggs*
• 1 cup Trader Joe's white whole wheat flour
• 1 1/8 cup Trader Joe's almond meal/flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 teaspoons pure almond extract
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• approximately 3 tablespoons Bon Maman cherry preserves
Cherry Glaze
• 1/4 cup frozen cherries (about 6), finely diced
• 1 1/2 tablespoon almond milk
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
• 1 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar**

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray/lightly grease donut pan. Make flax eggs and set aside to thicken.
2. In a large bowl whisk together white whole wheat flour, almond meal, baking powder, sea salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
3. Add in applesauce, maple syrup, almond extract, almond milk and mix well.
4. Using a small dinner spoon place about 3 spoonfuls of batter in each ring. Evenly flatten the batter and top with about 1/4 teaspoon drops of cherry preserve to form a ring. Top with a smaller amount of batter than you used for the bottom and lightly spread out to cover the preserves.
5. Bake for 25 minutes at 350F. Allow to cool in pan before removing, once cool place on a wire rack.
Cherry Glaze
6. Place almond milk and diced cherries into a small sauce pan and heat on medium heat. Once cherries have softened stir in almond extract, confectioner's sugar or coconut oil. Mix well. If glaze is thick add additional almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time.
7. While the glaze is warm - dip donuts into the glaze and place on wire rack. If glaze hardens, just warm on stove.
