This recipe for
apple cider paleo donuts is inspired
by the amazing apple orchards in my adopted state of New Jersey. Apple
cider donuts are commonly found at farm stands, primarily in the autumn,
and usually accompanied by glasses of hot apple cider. Contrary to its
image, New Jersey retains its rural and agricultural flavor throughout
much of the state. (It is known as “The Garden State” after all.) The
apple industry here is vibrant and farms have survived development and
other economic pressures by promoting orchards as educational and
recreational experiences. Consumers contribute to the preservation of
the farming heritage by patronizing local farms. Farms in turn have used
festivals, school tours, u-pick operations along with roadside retail
to survive and thrive by meeting consumer demands. We enjoy patronizing
local farms and have always looked forward to indulging in cider donuts
when visiting them. This recipe for
cider paleo donuts allows us to enjoy this treat while sticking with our
paleo diet.
My husband was initially shocked at the sight of my newly purchased mini-donut maker.
He thought I had really gone off the deep end. (Oh, he of little
faith!) But in spite of his skepticism, these donuts are grain-free,
gluten-free, casein-free, soy free and contain only natural sugars. So I
consider them a bonafide paleo treat. And these paleo donuts go great
with some eggs and coffee at breakfast. You can also serve them as an
after school snack. (Something my boys love.) They are fairly quick and
easy to make – you don’t need to drag out your stand mixer. And the $20
for the mini-donut maker seems like a worth while investment.
