Paleo Apple Streusel Donuts
Apple season has come once again, Yipee! These almond apple streusel donuts are warm and sweet, the perfect way to use any extra apples hanging around your kitchen.
These donuts have a coffee cake texture that pairs well with the cinnamon streusel topping.
And don’t forget that sweet glaze on top!
The glaze is made from this coconut butter and maple syrup, mixed into a smooth and delicious drizzle.
Fresh apples baked into these bad boys make it taste like you are eating a homemade apple pie. 🙂
Not about about that!
The warmth of the cinnamon and maple syrup flavor paired with the apples makes for a perfect fall dessert or breakfast 🙂
I couldn’t resist adding one of these donuts to some apple crumble oat milk ice cream. It was amazing!
Start your morning off right with a cup of coffee or tea, a donut, and your favorite book.
Boom! Ultimate fall morning accomplished.
I love that these are simple to make, but taste like you worked all day to get that homemade donut flavor.
The crowds will love this fall treat…
But be careful, they will love them so much they may never leaf… fall jokes, haha!
All that to say, these are a real crowd-pleaser.
So go apple picking or find your favorite apples at the grocery store and get baking!

Ingredients
Donuts
Streusel Topping
Glaze
|
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Combine all ingredients for the streusel topping in a small bowl and set aside.
- Slice apples for the donuts into small ¼” size pieces and set aside.
- For the donuts, combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients (leave out apple pieces) and mix until just combined- do not over mix. Fold in apple pieces until combined.
- Generously grease the donut pan with spray coconut oil to prevent sticking to the pan. Fill the donut pan with batter ¾ the way up and sprinkle topping evenly over donuts. Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Combine all ingredients for the frosting in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Once the donuts have cooled pipe frosting over the donuts using a piping or ziplock bag.

These look amazing! Do you think a reduced amount of apple cider could be used in place of the apple sauce? Thanks!
Hi Danielle, that might work!
Hi, do you think I can replace almond flour with gluten free flour?
Hi Kelly, oat flour is a good sub for almond flour. Enjoy!
