INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup melted butter or avocado oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups maple sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons Justin’s Cinnamon Almond Butter

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two standard-sized doughnut pans and set aside
  2. Beat together the butter or oil, eggs, sugar, applesauce, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the doughnut pans so it’s nearly to the top.
  4. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles in a round white bowl with wooden chopsticks with fresh ginger in the background

Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples. My Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles come together in the time it takes you to cook noodles and taste way better than anything you’ll order on an app or pull out of your freezer. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I forget to make dinner on purpose so that I have an excuse to make this dish!
