A healthy, colorful and beautifully delicious donuts! It’s kids-approved and the only donut recipe you will ever need! I’ve made this recipe almost four times and it just pops out perfectly delicious every single time!
Do not skip the buttermilk! In case you run out of buttermilk, just add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the 3/4 cup of milk ( room temperature ), stir well, and set it aside. The buttermilk is all ready! Measure and use the amount specified in the recipe. You can use just all-purpose flour in place of almond flour but I highly recommend using almond flour. It adds up to the taste of the donuts!
