For the Donuts:

  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 1 Tablespoon flaxmeal
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup beetroot powder
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons coconut oil (solidified)

Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon beet juice
Instructions
  1. For the donuts: Combine almond milk and flaxmeal. Let stand for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, beetroot powder, and sugar.
  3. Add solidified coconut oil, and work through dry flour mixture with hands or a pastry cutter until flour mixture is crumbly like sand.
  4. Add almond milk and flaxmeal mixture and mix until a ball of dough is created.
  5. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead about 10 times.
  6. Measure out a tablespoon of dough at a time. Roll into a ball and place on a lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough has been used.
  7. Bake donut holes for about 15-20 minutes.
  8. For the glaze: Allow the donuts to cool to room temperature.
  9. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and beet juice. Whisk until combined.
  10. Use a toothpick to pick up a donut hole. Dip the donut hole in beet glaze, then replace on baking sheet and allow the glaze to harden. Repeat until all donuts have a glaze coating. Enjoy!
