Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients: mashed banana, eggs, almond milk, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing to maintain a soft crumb.
- Fold in the finely chopped strawberries.
- Transfer the batter into a pastry bag or a large Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the 12 donut wells.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For the glaze: Melt white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 15-second intervals. Dip the cooled donut tops and garnish with fresh zest or sprinkles if desired.
